Var. g. tubo corollz limbo paulo longiore aut equali.  L. 
anelica, Lindh. ined.— High rocky prairies between the 
pressed, with an almost annular, ciliate carina. Stigma conspicuously bifid. — 
The narrow, long, attenuate leaves and the short spikes distinguish it from PA. 
tomentosum. 
“5, Pu. LANCEOLATUM, Engelm. in Plant. Fendl. . 
«“* * Sguamosa; foliis in squamulas connatas pelviformes reductis; spicis 
feemineis ex articulis paucis 1 -2 floris constitutis. 
“6, Pa. Catirornicum (Nutt.): glabrum; ramis elongatis strictis gracilibus 
teretibus ; squamis ovato-lanceolatis patentibus basi connatis tenuiter ciliatis; 
spicis femineis lateralibus oppositis 3-4-floris; floribus globosis trifidis glabris in 
quovis articulo singulis s. binis cupul ciliate immersis ; spicis fructiferis elonga- 
tis; baccis globosis. — Sierra Nevada of California, on some species of Strombocar- 
pus, Dr. Gamédel. Intermediate and connecting the leafy and scaly species of this 
genus, though properly belonging to the latter. Scales longer than the diameter 
of the branch, patulous. Branches a foot or more long (Nuttall); ultimate joints 
7-9 lineslong; flowering spikes about 3 lines, and fruiting spikes 9 lines long. 
Fruit 3 lines in diameter. Flowering spikes with 2 lateral linear-lanceolate ciliate 
bracts at base, consisting of 3 joints, the lower being always sterile, the two upper 
ones producing each two or by abortion single flowers. In the fruit-bearing spike 
these joints are in such a manner elongated that the (typically axillary) fruit is car- 
ried up to the top of the joint, just below the next pair of leaves (or scales). Stigma 
globose, very slightly bilobed.

“TII ARCEUTHOBIUM, M. Bieb. Flores dicci, ovati, compressi. FY. 
masc. Perianthium 3- (raro 4-) partitum. Anthere lobis mediis adnate, unicellu- 
losze, rima transversa dehiscentes. F7. Fam. Perianthium breviter pedicellatum, 
2- (raro 3-) dentatum: ovarium inferum, tubo adnatum, uniculoculare ; ovulo unico 
pendulo. Stigma sessile, conicum. Bacca carnosa, opaca, ovata, compressa, peri- 
gonio persistente coronata. — Frutices gerontogei et Americani glaberrimi, aphy]li, 
articulati; foliis squameeformibus in vaginulas pelviformes s. cupuliformes conna- 
tis; floribus axillaribus terminalibusque seepe spicam simplicem s. compositam 
mentientibus ; fl. masculis 1 -3 sessilibus, foemineis plerumque singulis brevissime

exserte pedicellatis extus carnosis intus viscidis. 
“1, A, Oxyceprr (M. Bieb.): caule ramisque oppositis s. dichotomis com- 
presso-teretibus gracilibus strictis; ramulis ultimis compresso-sub-quadrangulatis ; 
squamis triangularibus in vaginulas pelviformes connatis; floribus feemineis in 
ultimis ramulorum articulis axillaribus terminalibusque in quavis axilla singulis s. 
binis ; baccis exserto-pedicellatis, erectis. — Southern Europe, etc. The specimen 
before me is from Fiume.— Lowest joints of the ultimate branchlets sterile ; the 
next joint producing two leaf buds; the 2 to 4 following joints bearing flowers, one 
of which is terminal. The usual state probably is, where only the two last joints 
bear flowers, the ultimate one a terminal, and the next below two lateral flowers ; 
that js the state described by Decandolle ; ‘floribus feemineis ad ramulorum apices 
tribus.’ But in the specimen before me most branchlets bear from 5 to 9 flowers,
