6 PLANTH FENDLERIANZ. 
FUMARIACEX. 
17. Corypatis aurea, Willd.; Torr. & Gray, Fl. 1. p. 63: var. (C. montana, 
Engelm. Mss.) siliquis undique vel ad suturas tantum pruinoso-puberulis. — Rocks, Santa 
Fé Creek; April to July ; with fine golden-yellow flowers, as in the plant from Northern 
New York and Vermont, and, like it, biennial. ‘The pruinosity of the pod is variable, 
and sometimes slight ; so that I cannot consider the plant as a distinct species. 
CRUCIFERZ. 
18. Nasturtium stnuarum, Nutt. in Torr. & Gray, Fl. 1. p. 73. Low, sandy 
banks washed by the water, from the Mora River to the Rio del Norte. — The speci- 
*mens accord well with Nuttall’s character, but have no ripe fruit. Specimens gathered 
in Missouri by Dr. Engelmann have linear and arcuate siliques, as long as their pedicels. 
19. N. oprusum, Nutt. 1. c. Low, wet places along Santa Fé Creek. — One of 
the minute-flowered species, of diffuse habit. The divisions of the leaves are much 
less toothed than in specimens from the Mississippi River, &c. In this, as in other spe- 
“cies of the genus, the siliques vary in length and shape; some specimens being barely ob- 
long, and, in a form gathered in Texas by Mr. Wright, even short oval ; thus bearing the 
" same relation to the type of the species that the next does to the genuine N. palustre. 
20. N. panusare, DC. Syst. 2. p.191: var. siliculis turgide ovoideis; caule foli- 
isque inferne hirtis. Santa Fé Creek. — This is just the common species of the North- 
ern States, which passes for the N. palustre (cf, Gray, Man. Bot. N. U. 8. p. 32); but 
it has much shorter pods than the true plant of that name, into which; nevertheless, it 3 
appears to merge by numerous gradations, A more hairy form, with remarkably small . 
and, ovate pods, is N. hispidum, DC. The only characteristic North American specimens 
of N. palustre which I possess were collected by Dr. Sartwell in Western New York. 
21. N. spHxrocarpum (sp-nov.): glabrum; caule erecto seu decumbente ; foliis 
oblongis obtusis lyrato-pinnatifidis vel incisis obtuse dentatis (ramealibus subintegerrimis) 
petiolatis, petiolo anguste marginato basi pl. m. auriculato; racemis paniculatis ; floribus 
minutis; petalis albis spatulatis calycem subzquantibus ; siliculis globosis (vix lineam 
longis) parvis stylo brevi apiculatis pedicello paulo brevioribus. — Low places along 
Santa Fé Creek. — Allied apparently to N. globosum and N. Cameline, Fisch. § Mey. ; 
which, with N. Austriacum, N. amphibium, &c., are ambiguous between this genus and 
Cochlearia or Armoracia, to which they are by some authors referred. 
° 22. Srreprantuus Lonairotius, Benth.! Pl. Hartw. no. 52. p. 10. At the foot of 
the mountains on Santa Fé Creek ; July, August. — The half-grown pods are pendulous. 
Lower leaves rough-hirsute, lanceolate, more or less toothed, the radical strongly so.
