NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 109 
ALLOCARYA LEPTOCLADA. Annual, prostrate, less diffusely 
branching than the last, the simple stoutish and somewhat 
wiry branches commonly more than 2 feet long, leafy at 
base, loosely floriferous throughout and without bracts: 
herbage apparently glabrous, but sparsely strigose-hairy 
under a lens: corollas rather large and showy for the genus: 
nutlets a line long, straight, lanceolate, the basal scar on a 
short-stipe, the ventral face carinate, the back muriculate 
and with a few sharp transverse ridges, these beset with short 
bristly hairs. 
Habitat of the preceding. A species suggesting the Cali- 
fornian A. stipitata in the form of its nutlets, and A. Nelsonii 
(Eryth. iii. 48) in the bristly hairiness of the rugz, otherwise 
very unlike either. It is by far the largest known species of 
the genus, a single plant often spreading over five feet of 
ground. 
ALLOCARYA TENERA. Annual, erect, very slender, 3 to 6 
inches high, leafy below and with few almost filiform naked 
Tacemose branches: herbage pubescent, not at all succulent: 
calyx very small, the linear segments spreading in fruit: 
corolla large for the plant: nutlets less than 3 line long, 
scarcely compressed, slightly incurved, delicately granulate 
between the rather few thin and delicate transverse rugs, 
the ventral face lightly carinate, the back not in the least so.

OREOCARYA GLOMERATA (Nutt), Greene, Pitt. i. 58. This 
Specitic type, excellently described by Nuttall originally 
Under Myosotis! has come to be very much confused in 
botanical collections with related but distinct species. Of 
this condition of things I have become increasingly well 
Aware during the last ten years; and, since the nutlets do 
hot differ strikingly in this aggregate, and since herbarium
