to the Rocky Mountains. 227 



Obs. A remarkable species apparently differing in seve- 

 ral respects from Physalis. There was but one ripe berry on 

 the specimens which I examined, so that 1 am not confident 

 that the fruit has been correctly described. 



303. P. pubescens, fVilld. sp. pi. i. p. 1023? On the 

 Missouri. 



Obs. Differs in the leaves being subrepand, but may be 

 nothing more than a variety. 



304. Nyctekium luteum, Donn cat. ed. 10. Androcera 



lobata, Nutt.gen. i. p- 129. Solatium heterandrum, Pursh 



fl. i. p. 156. et supp. p. 731. t. 7. Common throughout all 



the country along the course of the Platte and upper parts 



of the Arkansa. 



305. Solanum triflorum, Nutt. gen. i. p. 129. James 

 Cat. 1. c. On the Platte, commencing near the Pawnee vil- 

 lages and continuing to the mountains j almost invariably 

 found near the habitations of the marmots or prairie dogs. 



306. S. carolinense, Dun. sol. p. 227. Pursh fl. i. p. 

 156. On the Missouri and along the Platte to the moun- 

 tains. 



307. S. platyphyllum, Dun. sol. p. 38 ? Kunth syn. ii. 

 p. 176 ? 



Obs. This is said by Kunth to be a suffruticose species, 

 but our plant appears to be herbaceous, though I have only 

 flowering branches. 



308. S. Jamesii, herbaceum, pilosiusculum ; caule inermi, 

 erecto; foliis impari-pinnatis ; foliolis ovato-lanceolatis, basi 

 abrupte angustatis, obsolete sinuatis j racemis extra-axillari- 

 bus, paucifloris. 



Obs. Root annual, fibrous ; stem about a span high ; ra- 

 cemes about 4-flowered ; flowers white ? A well character- 

 ised species. The station was not recorded, but is probably 

 on the Arkansa. 



309. S. flavidum, suffruticosum, utrinque dense tomen- 

 tosum, ramulis calycibusque aculeatis ; foliis solitariis, oblon-
