108 UNITED STATES AND MEXICAN BOUNDARY. 
NEMACLADUS RAMOSISSIMUS, Nutt. in Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. n. ser. 8. р. 254. (Tab. XLV.) 
Hill sides, Frontera, on the upper Rio Grande; also in Chihuahua, and near the Pimos 
villages, on the Gila; Parry. (No. 1428 and 1431, Wright.) We have specimens from 
California, collected by Dr. Andrews and Rev. Mr. Fitch. Mr. Nuttall considers this remarkable 
plant as the type of a distinct natural order which ought to be placed between Lobeliacez and 
Goodenoviacee; but we think it should certainly be referred to the former, notwithstanding the 
non-cohering anthers. The stigma is destitute of an indusium, and even of a hairy fringe.
