it in abundance and now send about a pound ; I hope it will ere long 

 decorate the garden at Chiswick. S. 



(333) Hedysarum sp., (?) perennial; suffruticose, decumbent ; flowers 

 white ; on the sandy shore of rivers. S. 



(334) Brodiaea sp. ; flowers blue ; this is very different from and has 

 larger flowers than what I took to be B. grandiflora ; this I have no doubt 

 will be a second species to the genus ; 8 inches to a foot high ; like the 

 other anthers united, white, hexandrous ; roots of this fine plant are sent 

 in a jar among dry sand with bulbs of the other ; on all hilly sandy soils 

 among stones with the following plant ; this is a very fine plant. S. 



(335) Hexandria, Monogynia; calyx three-leaved, lanceolate; corolla 

 three petals, roundish, same length as the calyx ; anthers as long as 

 the filaments ; style shorter than the stamens ; capsule three-sided, 

 three-celled ; seeds angular ; stem three or four jointed ; leaves sheathing, 

 gramineous ; flowers violet colour seldom more than two on a stem ; 

 nectary surrounded by yellow hairs half-way up the petals, seldom more 

 than a brown streak up the middle of them ; inside of the calyx same 

 colour as the flower ; plant 1 to 2 feet high ; this splendid plant, which 

 equals Ferraria Pavonia, 1 1 cannot refer to any in the American flora ; I 

 have no doubt it is not yet included ; seeds were not ripe when there, and 

 since I have not been able to make a second journey ; roots are sent in a 

 jar of dry sand, I hope they will keep and vegetate. For the present I call 

 this Munroa speciosa, after Mr. Munro. Found on elevated grounds ; 

 rare, j 



(336) (?) a beautiful branching plant in thick clumps, with white 



flower and very fragrant ; abundant on elevated sandy dry ground, 

 forming elegant round groups, at a distance appearing like Laurustinus ; 



1 had not time at the moment to examine it, and cannot say to what it 

 belongs ; perennial ; near the Falls. S. 



(337) Tigarea tridentata z (Pursh) ; I regret very much to see this very 

 interesting plant in an imperfect state, being just out of blossom ; plentiful 

 on the plains near the Falls and rocks below them ; it thrives luxuriantly 

 in sandy soil, and so dry and loose that a stick may be pushed down 



2 or 3 feet. I hope to have seeds of it in the Fall ; the only shrub to be 

 seen on the barren plains. 



(338) Pentstemon sp., perennial; radical leaves opposite, lanceolate, 

 deeply dentate, on short petioles, cauline sessile, somewhat cordate, 

 dentate, smooth ; flowers large, fine purple, inside of the margin blue ; 

 upper lip bearded ; this new species I call P. Richardsonii, 3 after that 

 distinguished traveller Dr. John Richardson, now on his second hazardous 

 journey to the Polar Sea ; plentiful in rocky soils on the Columbia and 

 its branches. S. 



(339) Polyandria, Di-Pentagynia, annual ; calyx five-parted, segments 

 equal, lanceolate ; petals five, superior ; stamens numerous, partially 

 united, 3, 4, 5 filaments broader than the rest ; capsule glutinous, longish,
