the capsule, this plant corresponds well with Meyer's 3 Chilian 
species, but a specimen in the royal herbarium at Berlin

in all ieopiats cuaitar't to J. effusus, with the exception of ibs 
inner sepals and the capsule. But. mais to aa a new 
name to a plant so incompletely known, I provisionally refer 
possibility of the Californian plant being a hybrid between J. 
effusus and J. Pa — which both occur in its neighbor- 
hood; it seems only very few and imperfect seeds can 
be found in Sage biienie well aevaloues specimens now
