70 BOTANY. 
Nevada, of which form Mr. Watson remarks, “ Nearly glabrous, with some 
stiff hairs upon the stipules and traces of pubescence upon the stem and 
capsules. The leaves are intermediate between the ordinary form of Cali- 
fornia, with mostly obovate leaves, and those of the recently described 
species (F’. Jamesii, Torr.; Gray in Proc. Amer. Acad. 8, 622). Colorado 
and Texas.” 
CARYOPHYLLEZ. 
Saponaria Vaccaria, Host.—Introduced about the Mormon settlements 
in Utah. 
SILENE acavuLis, L.—Utah, Colorado, among the mountains at 11,500 
feet altitude and upward. (362.) 
SizeNE Menziesu, Hook.—Twin Lakes, Colorado. (355.) 
SILENE Greeen, Gray (Pl. Wright. 2, p. 17). (Melandrium Greggii, 
-Rohr.)—More or less viscidly pubescent ; two or three erect stems from the 
same perennial root ; lower leaves lance-ovate or obovate, shorter than the 
upper, which are lanceolate to ovate, sessile or tapering into very short 
petioles, 14-2’ long; calyx-lobes obtuse, or acute, sometimes with scarious 
margins; lamina of petals crimson, divided into 4 lobes, of which the lateral 
are the shorter, corona 2-parted, truncate, with the lobes slightly erose- 
dentate. Stamens exserted. Mount Graham, 7,000 to 9,500 feet altitude. 
(420, 734.) Also collected by Dr. Loew on the mountains of Arizona. This 
species Mr. Watson considers a variety of S. laciniata, probably correctly. 
Siteng Scoutert, Hook.—Stem erect, smooth below and slightly 
glandular-pubescent above; leaves narrowly lanceolate, tapering very 
gradually to the base, lowest 6’ long, upper ones shorter; racemes sub- 
compound, i. e., two or three flowers coming off at the same point of the 
stem. Calyx about as long as the pedicel, lobes acute, with scarious, ciliate 
margins; petals white or flesh-colored, claws with acute auricles, filaments 
woolly, ciliate; capsule three times longer than the stipe. Mount Graham, 
Arizona, at 9,000 feet altitude. (739.) 
Lycunis apetaLa, L.—Colorado. 
Lycunis Drummonpu, Watson.—South Park, Colorado. (363.) 
Cerastium vuLeatum, L.—Colorado. (352.)
