24: PITTONIA. 



i.. 



June, 1889. A species closely allied to C. fmctori'a, but 

 foliage and flowers scarcely one third as large, the corolla 

 of different structure only as regards the upper lip, the 

 segments of which in the more familiar species are not only 

 extremely short and pointless, but are simply reilexed— not 

 replicate. 



MoNAKDELL A DISCOLOR. Rigidly suffrutesceut, diffuse, a 

 span high : leaves small (| to | inch long), ovate-lanceolate, 

 » entire, short-petioled, green and nearly glabrous above, wliite- 

 tomentose beneath, scarcely punctate, the veins prominent 

 beneath : heads small, bracts few, ovate or oblong, obtuse, 

 of firm texture, tomentose-canescent, not colored, parallel- 

 nerved : calyx-teeth short, acutish, woolly-hairy without : 

 corollas light purple. 



Gravelly banks of the Yakima River, near Clealum, Wash- 

 ington, 14 August, 1889. 



Thalicteum hespeeium. T. iilaUjcarpum, Greene, Pitt. i. 



f. & Th. In taking up for a species what 



Hook __ ^ 

 Prof. Trelease had pro 

 Fendleri, I overlooked 

 earlier T. plaiycarpum. 



. Astragalus anemophilus, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. i. 

 186. This, which is the Phaca vesiiki, Benth., Bot. Sulph., 

 will include A. Micjuelensis, Greene, Pitt. i. 33. Speci- 

 mens obtained last year at various points along the shores 

 of Lower California by Lieut. Pond demonstrate this. 

 Very likely also the Phaca candidlssim<^ of the Botany of 

 the Sulphur will prove to be but another synonym of the 

 species.
