but never encloses it, nor does it become inflated. The corolla is much more rotate than cam- 
panulate. 
NIEREMBERGIA ANOMALA, Miers in Hook. Lond. Jour. Bot. 5, p. 175, & Ill. 1, t. 20; Dunal, 1. c. 
p. 588, Leucanthea Roemeriana, Scheele in Linnæa 25, p. 250. Bouchetia erecta, DC. MSS.; 
Dunal, l. c. Western Texas ; Wright. Near Monterey, Neuvo Leon; Dr. Edwards. (No. 345 
Coll. III, Texas, Drummond.) This corresponds exactly with the figure of Miers, who states 
that the Texan plant differs in no respect from the South American N. anomala. Stamens some- 
times only 4 and subdidynamous, or when 5 one of them smaller. Seeds roundish, reticulate. 
BROWALLIA (LzProaLossm) TEXANA (n. sp.): annua, vicoso-pubescens ; caule e basi ramoso 
erecto; foliis alternis integerrimis basi in petiolum attenuatis; floribus extra-axillaribus ad apices 
ramorum laxe subcymosis ; pedicellis calyce campanulato-tubuloso subinflato subaequalibus; cor- 
ollz tubo gracili apice subgibboso calyce triplo longiore, limbi laciniis orbicularis subzequalibus. 
Near the mouth of the Pecos, September—October ; Bigelow, Pope. (No. 535, Wright.) Plant 
a span high, dull green; leaves about three-fourths of an inch long, rather acute. Pedicels 3-5 
lines long. Calyx 5-cleft; the lobes ovate and acute. Corolla salver-form ; the tube very slen- 
der, 8 lines long, gibbous at the summit ; limb flat and somewhat oblique, 6 lines in diameter, 
purple. Stamens inserted in the throat of the corolla, didynamous. Capsule globose-ovate, 
scarcely one-third the length ofthe fructiferous calyx ; the valvesat length bifid at the summit. 
Seeds irregularly oblong, strongly rugous transversely.’ Embryo а little ‘curved. This plant 
clearly belongs to Leptoglossis of Bentham, and is nearly related to L. Schwenkioides. We 
think the genus should be united to Browallia. We are also disposed to adopt the views of those 
botanists who would remove the tribe Salpiglossidee from Scrophulariacew to Solanaceæ ; but 
we are not prepared to go so far as to unite these plants and certain tribes of the latter family 
into an intermediate order. The limits of these orders can not yet be fixed with any degree of 
precision. | :

Frasera PanRYr (Torr. in Pl. Whippl. p. 126): caule erecto tereti glabro ; foliis caulinis 
oppositis ternisve lanceolatis undulatis, floralibus (bracteis) ovatis pedicellis multo brevioribus ; 
sepalis ovatis albo-marginatis ; petalis ovato-lanceolatis sepala subequantibus, fovea lunata soli- 
taria, corona obsoleta. Mountains east of San Diego, California, on the eastern slope, June ; 
Parry. Мо. 558, California, Coulter. Stem 2-3 feet high. Radical leaves clustered, the upper 
cauline ones mostly ternate, the whorls remote. Flowers numerous, in a terminal panicle nearly 
an inch in diameter. Petals greenish white, speckled with purplish linear dots ; the pit or gland 
lunate, with the horns pointing upward, fringed with hairs around the margin. Corona a mere 
narrow, slightly ciliate border. Fruit not known. Nearly allied to F. Carolinensis, but that 
species has the leaves in 4s and 5s, a leafy panicle, linear lanceolate sepals, and roundish-oval 
entire glands.
