tliej are in size similar to tliose of T. procumbens, but 

 provided with longer and much more slender prickles. 

 Leaves and flowers have been described from mere rem- 

 nants adhering to the fruit. 



Frankenia laevis, Linne. 



Clajtonia Balonnensis, F. v. 31. 



Atriplex leptocarpum, F. v. M. 



Atriplex Muelleri, Bentliam, var. lobaticarpa ; dwarf, procum- 

 bent or ascendent, leaves small ; fruit-bearing caljces 

 minute, to the middle bivalved, digitate or flabellate, 

 rhomboid, anteriorly cleft into five deltoid-semilameolar 

 lobules, the lateral of which divergent or recurved, but 

 often abbreviated, the lower portion of the fruit-calyx 

 thickened towards the middle, but not appendiculated. 

 This may possibly require specific separation, but the 

 degree of variability of the group of saltbushes to which 

 this plant belongs needs yet further to be studied in the- 

 field or from augmented museum material. The plant 

 here under consideration reminds us also of A. fissivalve,. 

 from which it differs in less succulency, smaller leaves, 

 less transparent, and less deeply valvate fruit-calyces,. 

 with shorter lobules without dorsal appendages.
