Hae. Monterey, California. Mr. Dougl — 



A highly curious plant in the structure of its seed-vessels, and 

 the handsomest of the genus, of which six species are now known 

 to us, all natives of California. It seems to agree with Fischer 

 and Meyer's T. elegans, in every thing save the glabrous fruit. 

 It. is an annual plant, one and a half to two feet high, with the 

 lower leaves sinuato-dentate, and hairy, the upper ones 

 glabrous, entire, sagittate at the base; racemes o^ fruit 8— 10 

 inches long. Poi/c/ies pendulous, margined with a broad waved 

 wing, in which is a range of large oblong perforations, sur- 

 rounding the woolly disk. These perforations do not exist in 

 the germen.
