Page 211. 1. WASHINGTONIA. 



Flowers perfect, solitary, nearly sessile upon the slender branches of the panicle, 

 scarious-coriaceous ; calyx tubular, rigid, with short rounded lacerate overlapping 

 lobes; corolla twice longer, 3-parted, the lanceolate segments reflexed above the 

 broad claw. Stamens 6 ; filaments narrow, fleshy above the adnate base, exserted 

 and attenuate. Carpels united, the elongated styles coherent into a filiform horny 

 tube. 



Collected near San Bernardino in May, 1 880, by Mr. W. G. Wright, who alone has obtained 

 flowering specimens and whose exertions to this end deserve much credit. He has also received the 

 immature fruit of what may prove to be a second species, said to come from a much larger sized 

 tree and to be found a hundred miles or more to the east of San Bernardino.

2. E. armata, Watson. What appears to be the fruit of this species has been 

 brought by the Indians to Mr. Wright of San Bernardino, from trees growing in the 

 interior of that county. They also brought to him a small black fruit which is re- 

 ferable to neither of these genera. The closer attention of collectors is invited to the 

 representatives of this order in that region.

59. C. brevipes. Upon farther examination this proposed species must be 

 taken to be a variety of C. globosa. It differs from the latter in its shorter stem, in 

 the greater length of the lower bract of the upper spikes, which is as broad as the 

 leaves and much longer than the culm, and in its narrowly obovoid perigynia, 

 which are longer attenuate below, and nerveless, but finely striate towards the base. 

 In both, the fibres of the lower sheaths are sparingly reticulate, the leaves scabrous, 

 the style enlarged at base, erect, jointed, and deciduous. W. Boott.
