In February, 1899, the writer collect- 

 ed some small plants of the "cvirio ' 

 tree, near the gold mines at Calmalli, 

 Lower California; May 2, 1900, the last 

 two were planted in the ground in 

 San Diego, having been in a box during 

 the interim; the longest branchlets on 

 one of these was over a foot long and 

 bearing green foliage when at last 

 planted in the ground. As there is no 

 natural rainfall for two or three years 

 at a time in the region where it grows, 

 it is naturally well adapted to survive 

 a long continued drouth: it is one of 

 the most curious productions of the 

 plant world, forming a tree often over 

 30 or 40 feet high, resembling a great 

 carrot with its roots in the air. Dr. 

 Albert Kellogg named it Idria Colam- 

 naria; later it was recognized as be- 

 longing to the genus Fouquiera

 Or (No. 2210). This species, although referred 

 to Sphairalcea, can hardly be kept out of Mal- 

 veop?is. Tlie carpel is more like that of the 

 latter genus than of any other known species, 

 A yet very similar to those of S coulteri and S
