158 MR. NUTTALL’S DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW 
Has. On the borders of the Platte, and hills near Scott’s Bluffs. Flowering in 
May. (Nuttall.) 
EUTOCA. 
E. *ALBIFLORA. O- Glandularly pilose and viscid ; stem erect and branching; leaves broad-ovate, shortly 
petiolate, subcordate, angularly biserrate; racemes curved, elongated, many-flowered, calyx segments 
spathulate-linear, obtuse; corolla not much longer than the calyx; capsule many-seeded. 
In many respects this species resembles E. viscida, except that the flower is more 
than twice as large and of a deep blue; the serratures and side of the leaves are also 
different. The pubescence is terminated with black glands, and the seeds are 
rugose, the capsule ovate, with a short style and stigma. 
Has. Santa Barbara, Upper California. 
E. *specrosa. ©. Stem erect and simple; leaves broad-ovate, subcordate, doubly serrate, almost lobed, 
beneath strongly nerved, and, as well as the stem and calyx, hispid and viscidly glandular; racemes at 
the summit of the stem, several, circinate, not elongated; flowers on short pedicels; segments of the 
calyx spathulate linear; capsule with more than fifty roundish, very rugose seeds. 
Nearly allied to E. grandiflora, the flowers being equally large and showy, of a 
fine blue. Stem two to three feet high, very stout; the leaves large, almost lobed on 
the margin; style and stigmas very long, filaments hairy on the lower part. The 
viscid pubescence is black, and of a heavy resinous rather disagreeable smell, almost 
like that of rue. It communicates an almost indelible stain to clothing. 
Has. Near St. Diego, Upper California. (Nuttall.) 
*HUCRYPTA.+ 
Calyx five-parted, without external appendages; lobes oval or ovate. Corolla 
tubular campanulate, half five-cleft, deciduous, without internal appendages; the 
lobes rounded; the estivation with three segments exterior and two interior. 
Stamens five, equal, arising from the base of the corolla, smooth, somewhat exserted ; 
anthers small and oval, nectary none. Ovary depressed, globose, one-celled ; 
placentas two, free, externally septiferous, each with four dissimilar ovules. Style 
elongated, very shortly bifid. Stigmas minute. Capsule two-valved, dividing 
parallel with the placenta, presenting four roundish, rugose seeds; concealed in the 
adnate parietes, as it were, of each of these valves are (when perfect) two other 
seeds, which are even and elliptic! separated from the other seeds by a perfect 
membranaceous partition, parallel with the deep concavity of the valves, and each of 
these partitions is again divided internally by a proper transverse septum ; so that the 
capsule is in fact four-celled, with closed partitions, and the division of the adnate 
t So called in allusion to the concealed cells of the capsule,
