4 s : PLANTH FENDLERIANZE. 
Bent’s Fort and SahtaFé. There are also fruiting specimens, gathered between the 
_ middle of August and January. — The specimens have larger and smoother foliage than 
the original ones of Nuttall. The leaves are all 5—7-foliolate. “% 
¢2. C. Pircneri, Torr. § Gray, Fl. N. Am. 1. p.10. Council Grove, August. 
— The styles are entirely glabrous in flower, but become more or less pubescent in fruit. 
The species extends northeastward to Illinois, where it was gathered by Dr. Mead. 
3. ArracEene Ocnorensis, Pall. Fl. Ross. 2. p. 69; DC. Prodr. 1. p- 10. Sides and 
base of steep rocks, in shady places near the creek, Santa Fé; climbing over shrubs. 
Gathered in flower from May 12 to June 3, — It is singular that this species should have 
been for the first time detected in the New World at a point so far south. The 
foliage, &c., is just as in A. alpina, of which it is most probably a mere variety, 
as Schlechtendal has suggested in respect to the plant from Kamtschatka. But the 
_Staminodia are linear, at first scarcely longer than the ordinary stamens, and are all man- 
ifestly antheriferous ; at length they become a little dilated upwards, and acute or apic- 
ulate. How slight dependence is to be placed upon the form of these organs, however, 
has been shown by Ledebour (FY. Alt. 2. p- 378), when justly reducing A. Sibirica to 
A. alpina. Specimens gathered by myself at Ischl, in Upper Austria, exhibit them 
strongly emarginate. Nor are they uniformly acute in A. Americana, but oftener spatu- 
late and obtuse, as delineated in Genera Fl. Amer. Bor.-Orientalis [Mlustrata, t. 1. 
4. ANEMONE cyLinpRIcA, Gray. Shady places in a mountain valley a few miles 
east of Santa Fé; flowering in June. — This species often flowers after the manner 
of A. Virginiana, developing inyolucels and secondary peduncles. It should doubtless 
be referred to De Candolle’s section Anemospermos. 
5. Pouxsarinia patens, Mill.; Torr. & Gray, Fl.1.c. Mountains, east of Santa Fé. 
+6. Catrua Leproserata, DC.; Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. 1. p- 22.4, 10. Sunny margin 
of the creek, six miles above Santa Fé, in the mountains. — There are only one or two 
specimens ; and they agree with the plant gathered by Dr. James, in having more oblong 
leaves than in Hooker’s figure, with so acute a sinus as to appear almost sagittate. 
°7. Ranoncutus trmentatus, H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 5. p. 42; Benth.! Pl. 
Hartw. no. 1. Wet places, forming large patches by sending off runners in all direc- 
tions. — Closely resembling R. eymbalaria, Pursh, but larger in all its parts: the flowers 
are as large as those of R. salsuginosus, and 9-12-petalous in all my specimens. 
8. R.arrinis, R. Br. Var. 8. Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. 1. p. 13. t. 6, A. Moist places, 
Santa Fé; April to June. — The primordial radical leaves are barely crenate-toothed ; 
the others 3—5-parted or lobed. Carpels pubescent, in cylindrical-oblong heads. 
9. Aquitecta Canapensis, Linn. Rocks in a mountain valley, near Santa Fé. 
A dwarf form, with more slender spurs than usual; but I observe no other difference.
