A SKETCH OF THE BOTANY OF THE BASIN OF THE GREAT SALT LAKE OF UTAH. 173 
P. . . . humilis, Dougl. in D. C. Prodr. IX. p. 506. Suberect, pubescent; leaves 
linear-subulate, subfasciculate; divisions of the limb of the corolla obovate, mucronate.. 
Flowers white. On a rocky mountain above the eastern valley, Mrs. Carrington. 
P. . . . Hoodii, Richards. in Frankl. Journ. app. ed. 2, p. 6, t. 28. Dwarf, very 
ramose and ceespitose. Leaves linear-subulate, rigid, fasciculate, flowers sessile, the teeth 
of the calyx short, subulate, rigid; divisions of the corolla obovate, entire, very obtuse. 
Mountains on the Salt Lake, Maj. Stansbury. 
Among the plants of Mrs. Carrington is a small phlox, scarcely one inch high, collected 
in a rocky soil, which seems to be intermediate between P. Richardsoni and P. Hoodii— 
but on account of its insufficiency I cannot determine its true character. I think there 
is yet a great confusion among these dwarfish acerose species. 
P. . . . longifolia, Nutt. D.C. Prodr. 1X. p. 307. Subczespitose, several stems from 
the same root; branchlets short, irregularly trichotomous, pauciflore. Leaves subulate, 
very long and narrow, glabrous; peduncles filiform, elongated; divisions of the calyx acu- 
minate, those of the corolla oblong-cuneate, entire. Mouth of Bear River, May, Maj. 
Stansbury. : 
CoLLomiaA gracilis. Dougl. D. C. Prodr. IX. p. 308. Very small, ramose. Leaves li- 
near-obtuse; the lower ones ovate, oblong, opposite ; the divisions of the calyx linear, as 
long as the tube of the minute white corolla. Ogden Pass, Maj. Stansbury. Yoab Val- 
ley, May, Mrs. Carrington. 
Git1A pulchella, Dougl. in Hook. fl. Bor. Am. 2, p. 74. Erect, 1—2 feet high. Stem 
paniculate at top; leaves pinnately cut, segments linear; calyx short, narrowly lanceo- 
late, mucronate ; corolla elongated, tube nearly one inch long, divisions of the limb ovate- 
acute. Ogden Pass, Maj. Stansbury; Yoab Valley, May, Mrs. Carrington. 
SOLANACEA. 
- Paysais angulata. Linn. Gray’s Man. p. 339. (Ground Cherry.) Erect and much 
branched, glabrous; leaves ovate or ovate-oblong, often very sharply toothed; corolla some- 
what five-lobed, small; calyx with broadly triangular subulate teeth as long as the tube, 
becoming conical-ovate and sharply five-angled. Great Salt Lake Valley, June, Major 
Stansbury. 
GENTIANACE. 
GENTIANA afjinis. Griseb. in Hook. fl. Bor. Am. 2, p. 56. (Gentian.) Stem ascending; 
lower leaves obovate-oblong, obtuse; upper ones lanceolate acute with scabrous margins; 
cymes racemiform; the lower flowers solitary, pedicellate, the upper aggregate, sub- 
sessile; calyx 5-cleft, half the length of the corolla, divisions oblong‘linear, at length
