taken, is not constant, — is sometimes found in P. graveolens; the flowers also vary 
greatly in size.- “The species, however, is perfectly distinguished from P. graveolens by 
the long style, the more exserted stamens; and the entire absence of a stipe to the ovary 
and pod. It would seem to accord very well with P. uniglandulosa, except that the ” 
flowers are only one fourth the size of those delineated in the original figure of that spe- 
cies by Cavanilles.” I now possess the Mexican species, which agrees with the figure of 
Cavanilles in the size of the flowers, and has proportionally much longer styles and sta- 
mens than in our plant. I have cultivated our species for several ui and it proves to 
be quite handsome, flowering throughout the summer.

_* To this species Hooker (Fi. Bor.-Am.) refers V. Scouleri, Dougl. Mss.; but a specimen from herb. 
Bentham, communicated by Dr. Scouler, is surely the V. glabella, Nutt. ; as also is No. 602 of Geyer’s Ore- 
gon collection, named by Hooker V. striata. The petals appear to have been sulphur-color. No. 295 of 
the same collection (V. orbiculata, Geyer Mss.) is certainly neither V. rotundifolia nor V. blanda, but, I~ 
suspect, V. sarmentosa of Douglas.
