MEMOIRS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY eal 
Scape 1-3 dm. high with a petioled unifoliolate leafy bract; pubescence more spread- 
ing and leaves long-petioled. 
In the extreme forms very unlike the common Ff. Chiloensis, but running into it.

3. Fragaria crinita. 
Fragaria Californica Newberry, Pac. R. R. Rep. 6: part 2, 78. 1857. Not Cham. 
Fragaria Chilensis var. Scoulert Wats. Bibl. Ind. 282. In part. 
Rootstock short and thick, but not so much so as in # Chiloensis. Leaves firm but 
much thinner than in that species, less veiny beneath and scarcely reticulate, silky above 
when young, in age glabrate, densely silky and somewhat tomentulose beneath ; petioles 
slender, 2-10 em. long, covered with spreading or reflexed, long white silky hairs; leaflets 
all subsessile, rhombic-obovate, the lateral oblique at the base, more sharply toothed 
than in F. Chilocnsis, and the terminal tooth seldom much smaller than the others. 
Runners slender and Jong. Scape seldom over 1 dm. high, with spreading long silky 
hairs, slender, seldom with leafy bracts. Flowers 2-3 em. in diameter. Hypanthium 
silky; bractlets and sepals silky, narrowly lanceolate, acuminate. Petals obovate, ex- 
ceeding the sepals by about a third. Fruit hemispheric, nearly 1 em. in diameter, 
somewhat pubescent; achenes in shallow pits. 
F. crinita is almost intermediate between FL Chiloensis and F. Californica and has 
been confused with both. It may be of hybrid origin. The texture of the leaves is 
intermediate between that of the others, much thinner and sharper toothed than in F. 
Chiloensis, but much firmer than in Ff. Californica. The habit is that of the latter and 
so is the form of the sepals and bractlets, but the size of the flower is as in the former 
The pubescence of the scape and petioles is much more spreading than in Ff. Chilocnsis 
and longer and denser than in F. Californica. A specimen collected by Nuttall on the 
Columbia has thin leaves and smaller flowers; it is doubtful whether this should be re- 
ferred here or to /. Californica.
