remark — "Concerning this rare and curions shrub of the 

 Lower Californian peninsula no new knowledge is forth- 

 coming beyond what has been gained by a minute and thor- 

 ough examination of the good fruiting specimens collected 

 by Dr. Veatch, almost thirty years ago, and now preserved 

 in the herbarium of the California Academy of Sciences, 

 Pittonia I., 163." Equally at variance with the facts are the 

 deductions drawn from the merely external appearance of 

 the capsules, on account of which it was relegated to the Eu- 

 phorbiacese and placed near Simmondsia. Its true place is 

 certainly in Zygophyllaceae between Guaiaciim and Chitonia, 

 and probably a slight modification of the generic character 

 will admit it into the latter genus.
