46 PLANTH FENDLERIANS. 
lanceolatis oblongisve sessilibus subintegerrimis; calycis tubo apice infundibulari-inflato 
ovario prismatico sessili laciniisque triangulari-lanceolatis cuspidatis 3 —4-plo longiore ; 
petalis rhombei-obovatis stylo paulo longioribus. — Sunny hill-sides, at Santa Fé, and on 
the Rio del Norte ; also (chiefly a narrower-leaved form) from Rock Creek eastward to 
the Cimarron River; May to August. — A well-marked species, with numerous stems 4 
to 10 inches long, the larger ones procumbent; the whole plant green, but sprinkled 
with minute glandular or resinous dots. Leaves 1 to 2 inches long, 2 to 6 lines wide, 
rather obtuse, somewhat scattered. Flower, including the sessile ovary, three inches 
long, the calyx-tube fully half an inch wide at the throat. Petals about an inch long, 
“‘sulphur-color, turning to red in a few days after opening, and in drying.” Anthers half 
an inch long. Stigma dilated, disciform, obscurely 4-lobed. Capsule (immature) an 
inch long, linear, between prismatic and cylindrical, slightly incurved, of the same diam- 
eter throughout, somewhat 4-grooved, glabrous. The flower-buds are spotted with pur- 
ple, as is often the case with (E. Missouriensis, to which our plant bears some likeness. 
— The section Salpingia is further confirmed by the discovery of still another species, a 
dwarf frutescent plant, of which specimens were gathered in Northern Mexico by Dr. 
Gregg.* In his collection I also find . (Salpingia) lavandulefolia, Torr. §- Gray, from 
the neighbourhood of Buena Vista; from Encantada, also the (E. Hartwegi (likewise 
gathered around Monterey by Dr. Edwards and Major Eaton) ; and from Patos a variety 
of the same, approaching (E. lavandulefolia, with somewhat hoary and toothed leaves. 
The seeds are oblong and inappendiculate. 
231. Gaura EpiLopioiwwes, H. B. K. Nov. Gen. & Sp. 6.p.93? Near fields, Santa 
Fé; May to Sept. — There are several forms of the plant in the collection, which accord 
pretty well with the description of G. epilobioides, and, as to the flowers and upper 
leaves, may well be compared with Epilobium rosmarinifolium. It is the same plant 
with no. 164 of Coulter’s Mexican collection, except that the upper leaves of ours are 
smoother. 
+ 232. G. vitzosa, Torr. in Ann. Lye. N. ¥.2. p. 200. Along the Cimarron River; 
August, in fruit. — The fruit is oblong, tapering upwards, about 4 lines long, glabrous, 
* CE. (Sarptnera) Grecert (sp. nov.) : fruticulosa, ramosissima, erecta, undique minutissime viscido-pu- 
berula ; foliis parvis (3-6 lin. longis) spathulatis vel oblanceolatis integerrimis sessilibus seu in petiolum pl. 
m. attenuatis ; floribus parvulis ; tubo calycis apice breviter obconico fil 
gulari-lanceolatis cuspidatis petala rhomboidea subeequantibus quintuplo 
matica. — Hill southeast of Pelayo, in Chihuahua, Dr. Gregg ; 
flower yellow.” The specimens are about 8 inches hi 
as in the allied species, 
iformi ovario sextuplo laciniisque trian- 
longiore ; capsula sessili oblongo-pris- 
May, 1847. “A very small semi-shrub ; 
gh, very bushy: the petals turn to rose-color in drying, 
and are one third of an inch in length. Capsules scarcely half an inch long.
