NEW SPECIES OF CONVOLVULUS. 333 
C. FRUTICETORUM. Suffrutescent like the last, but seldom 
or never high-climbing: leaves ample and subsagittate, 
puberulent: flowers cymose and bracted as in the last: 
corolla eream-color or almost white, its limb strongly 
5-angled in full expansion. 
As common on bushy foothills of the inner Coast Range 
of California as C. purpuratus is upon the seaboard; the 
two much alike in habit, but corollas extremely different. 
Both C. purpuratus and C. fruticetorum are included in the 
C. luteolus of Gray. The former is the Ipomza sagittifolia 
of Hooker & Arnott, and therefore the type of Gray's spe- 
cies; but both those specific names were preoccupied in 
Convolvulus before the Californian species began to be 
known. 
Since Convolvulus camporum at page 328 preceding was 
published, there has appeared in the third volume of Brit- 
ton & Brown, a figure which almost represents this species. 
I refer tu that which purports to represent, in that volume, 
C. spithameus; which species, as I before stated, is both 
branched and twining, and has no flowers at or near the 
base of the stem. | C. s£ans, a plant which at the North seems 
to replace C. spithamazus, appears always to have its leaves 
very pronouncedly and subsagittately lobed at base. I 
cannot but think that the figure on page 26 of the volume 
named, was taken from a specimen of C. camporum, though 
it is not very accurate even for that species. 
SoME CANADIAN VIOLETS. 
Those well known and zealous investigators of British 
American botany, Messrs. John and James M. Macoun, 
spending this season at home in Ottawa for the first time in 
many years, have naturally taken up the investigation of 
the common’ wild violets of Ontario. I say naturally, as
