ViW. maculata* Lcafk-ts broader, from hmceolatc to oblong- 

 lanccolatc, 1 to T) inches long. — C. inacitlata L. 



Throughout the United States. 



Wc can discover no other difler(>nce between f. lutuiihitu Ij and C 

 riroi-ta L. than the one in the leaves noted above. 



\ ar. Californica. I ppcr Icaxcs siini)ly pinnate: fruit with 

 the more prominent dorsal and intermediate ribs nearly equalling 

 the laterals, and oil-tubes narrower. — C. Californica Gray, Proc. 

 Am. Acad. vii. 844. 



From California, 8an Francisco and northward to Oregon (HntreU), 

 Washington Territory iSiiksilorf. HciKhnson), and Vancouver Island 

 (M(i CO nil). 



This variety seons to be confined to the western coast region, and is 

 coniniordy distributed as C. mucnlata. The tiuit differences between this 

 variety and the species depend only upon the development of the dorsal and 

 intermediate ribs, and are closely connected by intermediate forms. The 

 venation cluiracter, while tolerably constant in the species, cannot be used 

 to separate this variety from it. although in some specimens the veinlets 

 pass to the t<;oth instead ot the sinuses with considerable regularity, 



2. C. bulbifera L. .Spec. 255. Rather slender, 1 to 8 feet 

 high: leaves twice or thrice pinnate ( sometimes appearing ternate); 

 leaflets linear, sparsely toothed, 1 or 2 inches long: upper axils 

 bearing clustered bulblets: mature fruit not seen, nor to be foi'nd in 

 herbaria. 



Common in swamps, from Lower Canada and the Saskatchewan re- 

 gion, to Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Fl. July to September. 



Immature fruit, clearly showing Ciciito characters, were found in herb. 

 Walter Deanc, collected by L- H. Bailey near Lansing, Michigan. Packets 

 of fruit reputed to be of this species had better be suspected unless seen 

 on the plant. The fruit described and figured in liot. Gazette, xii. 2(>:>, 

 under this name, is tiuit of Fivnirnhnn riilnnn^ put by mistake on the 

 sam(> sheet. 



''">. C. Bolanderi Watson, Proc. An:. Acad. vi. 130. Leaves 

 bipinnate; leaflets narrowly lanceolate, nan-owly and sharply 

 acuminate, 2 inches long, very acutely serrate; lower leaflets petiol- 

 ulate, often deeply lobed: involucre of several linear bracts: fruit 

 nearly orbicular, 2 lines long, strongly ribbed, and with broad oib 

 tubes which are sunk in the channelled seed.
