Torr. in Frém, 2d Report, p. 314; not of Don.  Stansbury’s 
Island, Salt Lake. Colonel Frémont collected this plant in the 2 
mountains of California, along the Virgin River, a tributary of a 
the Colorado, It is nearly related to C. Mericana, Don, (in Linn. 
Trans. 14, P- 574, t. 22, f. 1,) which has also yellow flowers; but 
the leaves in that species are three—parted, with linear segainite, 
and they have a long narrowly cuneate base. 
‘A third species of this genus, C. plicata, Don, was introduced 
‘ into England from Mexico in 1835, and is figured in Sweet’s British 
Flower Garden, (t. 400.) This is clearly the plant afterward 
described and beautifully figured by Zuccarini in his Plant. Nov. 
* Vv. minus cognite, under the name of Cowania purpurea. It is

The C. Stansburiana is a shrub attaining the height of from 
six to twelve feet. It is much branched, and the young twigs are 
glandular. The leaves grow mostly font short spurs. They. are : 
ovate in outline, 4-6 lines long, deeply cut into five or seyen 
lobes, and whitish tomentose underneath, except the strong green : 
midrib, but green and somewhat glabrous above. They are revo- 4 
lute on the margin, of a coriaceous texture, and sparingly dotted 
conspicuous glands. The flowers are solitary, terminal, and 
on short peduncles. The calyx-tube is turbinate and glandular ; 
the segments are broad and obtuse: Petals sulphur-yellow, broadly 
_ obovate, two or three times the — of -the- cal nts. q
