SOME PLANTS FROM LOWER CALIFORNIA. 989 
A very handsome species, related to the rare L. gracilis, 
but with different foliage and a very different calyx. 
CALANDRINIA MARITIMA, Nutt., Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 197. 
Lieut. Pond has now secured perfect specimens of this rare 
and interesting plant. In them I observe that the dark wine- 
colored corolla is marcescent-persistent upon, and calyptrately 
closed over the growing ovary, being thrown off only upon 
the opening of the ripe capsules. 
7. Fovqurera spinosa, HBK. N. Gen. et Sp. vi. 84. t. 
598 ?. The specimens, in flower only, do not quite agree 
with Kunth's description, nor yet with the more common F. 
splendens. 
8. ABRONIA UMBELLATA, Lam. Ill. i. 569. t. 105. 
9. Supa Moqurwr (Torr.), Greene, Pittonia, i. 264 t 
In the present specimen from San Bartolomé, the ripe seed is 
smooth and shining; the identification of it with Dr. Torrey's 
Chenopodina Moquini is therefore doubtful. 
10. ERIOGONUM INTRICATUM, Benth. Bot. Sulph. 46. t. 22. 
Very young, but showing well the involueres and flower-buds. 
"The leaf outline is not quite like that given in the plate 
referred to; for the lamina tapers into the slender petiole, 
and so, in this specimen at least, would be deseribed as 
cuneate-obovate. The locality is the original one; just where 
Hinds obtained it, and where it is somewhat strange that he, 
the pioneer of Lower Californian botany, did not obtain the 
following : 
11. Erioconum Ponni, Greene, Pittonia, i. 267. The 
flowering branches less stunted than in the original from 
Cedros. Lieutenant Pond now describes the whole plant as 
diameter, and as high ; thickly covered with the small flowers." 
It must therefore be a rather pretty species.
