CENOTHERA CLAVEFORMIS, Torr. in F'rém, 2d Itep. p. 314. Mohave Creek; March 2. Rocky 
arroyos of the Colorado ; Feb. 22. The petals barely equal the stamens, (2 or 3 lines long,) 
and the style is soon seach exserted. The corolla would seem to be whitish; but specimens 
gathered at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, by Lieut. Beckwith, (Beckwith’s Kae p- 115,) are 
plainly yellow-flowered. The following is a third and very Salad species of the same group, 
(Chylismia of Nuttall,) connecting it with Spheerostigma. 
8 (Rbiloba, Durand, Pl. Pratten. Calif. in Jour, Acad. Philad. 1855, (the same as Hartweg’s, No. 1,728,) appears to bea 
well-marked species. The petals vary, however, in the degree in which they are obcordate or two-iobed. In specimens 
raised by Dr. Short, from seeds collected in California by Dr. Dayton,.the petals (‘‘ delicate rose-color, changing to violet’’) 
are nearly two-cleft.—Gray, Mss.
