14 PLANTH FENDLERIANA. 
767. S. sretuata, Ait.; Torr. §- Gray, Fl.l.c. Near Fort Leavenworth ; September. 
é +68. Anycuta picHotoma, Micha. West of Independence, Missouri. 
69. Paronycuia Jamesu, Torr § Gray, Fl. 1. p.170. High prairies, in gravelly 
soil, east of Big Sand Creek (between the crossing of the Arkansas and Bent’s Fort), 
Sept., 1846 ; and from San Miguel, New Mexico, to Council Grove, Aug. — Sept. 
70. P. sessitirtora, Nutt. Gen. 1. p. 160; Hook. Fl. Bor.-Am. 1. p» 226. t. 75. 
Near McNees Creek (a tributary of the North fork of the Canadian River); August. 
PORTULACACEZ. 
71. Tatinum parvirtorum, Nutt. in Torr. & Gray, Fl. 1. p. 197. Santa Fé Creek, 
in the mountains; and between Rabbit’s Ear Creek and McNees’ Creek ; July, 
Aug. Flower lilac. — The capsule is oval, and the stamens only Jive in the speci- 
men examined.* 
+72. T. carycinum (Engelm.): “rhizomate crasso; caulibus demum ramosis ; foliis 
subteretibus elongatis, basi triangulari productis ; pedunculis elongatis nudis ; cyma 
bracteosa ; sepalis 2 ovato-orbiculatis basi productis cuspidatis persistentibus ; _petalis 
fugacibus calycem bis superantibus; staminibus sub-30; stylo elongato [declinato]; 
stigmatibus 3 abbreviatis. — In sandy soil, on the Cimarron River; flowering in June. 
Differs from T. teretifolium by its larger leaves, larger flowers, much larger and _persist- 
ent sepals, larger fruit and seed. Leaves 13 to 2 inches long; flowers 10 to 11 lines in 
diameter; capsule and seeds twice as large as in T. teretifolium.” Engelm. in Wisli- 
zen. Report (1848), p. 88.— Dr. Engelmann, with whom it has now flowered in culti- 
vation, writes that it is quite ornamental, the flowers being even 15 lines in diameter, 
and that it is further distinguished from T. teretifolium by the style being much exserted 
beyond the stamens and declined. But the sepals, he remarks, fall away before the 
capsule ripens. —Fendler’s specimens are from the sand-hills, four miles south of the 
crossing of the Arkansas River ; “ the flower fine red, of the size of a dime.” 
173. Portuxaca pitosa, Linn. Sand-hills of the Arkansas, &c.; Sept. Flower 
red, nearly the size of a half-dime. 
+74. P. overacea, Linn. Santa Fé; common in waste places. 
* The plant of Geyer’s collection named “ Claytonia spathulata” by Hooker has the leaves all alternate 
and linear, and the stem branches repeatedly. It is surely different from the plant figured in the Flora Bor.- 
Am. t. 74, and is the C. dichotoma, Nutt. in Torr. § Gray, Fl. 1. p. 202. — From the Kooskooskee, by Mr. 
Spalding, I have large and unusually prolonged specimens of C. exigua, Torr. §& Gray, I. c.; a plant which, 
in the Suppl. to Bot. Beech. Voy. is referred to C. spathulata; but I think incorrectly, judging from the figure 
and description of the latter species, of which I have no specimen.
