have frequently two pairs of re which are furnished with 2-4 (sometimes more) very strong 
angular teeth. The fructiferous racemes are loose, and the pedicles of the dark-blue berries are 
half an inch long. The same plant grows between the Rio Grande and the Gila, where it was 
collected by Major Emory, and it is the B. pinnata of Sitgreave’s report. Colonel Frémont 
found it on the tributaries of the Virgin river. Dr. Grege collected, near the battle-field of 
Buena Vista, what seems to be the same species, except that he says the berries are reddish ; 
but they may be so only when they are unripe. 
Berveris Fenpueri, Gray, Fl. Fendl., p.5. Mountain arroyas and bluffs on the Pecos, New 
Mexico; October. In fruit. The lower cauline leaves are spinulose-toothed, and the racemes 
appear not to have been many-flowered ; otherwise the specimens accord with those of Fendler.
