think that it is not specifically different from the plant which 
was earlier indicated (from a branch, bearing narrowly linear 
leaves alone) by Dr. Torrey, under the name of I. lineare ; 
which name I have therefore adopted. The stipules should 
not have been termed “ minute” in J. lineare, since they are 
further said to be “ one-third the length of the leaves." ‘The 
upper ones are seldom so long as this, while the lower are 
frequently * half as long as the leaves," as they are said to be 
in I. stipulaceum. It is manifest that all our specimens belong 
to one and the same species.

335. Paronycuia Linpnermeri (Engelm. ined.): annua, 
glabra, erecta; caule ramosissimo diffuso in cymas apertas 
multoties dichotomas diviso; foliis setaceis, superioribus brac- 
teisque consimilibus mucronatis internodio brevioribus ; calyce 
basi breviter pubescentibus, laciniis in aristulam iisdem duplo 
breviorem productis. — Naked, rocky places in high prairies. 
September. (Also gathered in Western 'Texas, by Mr. 
Wright. — Nearly allied to P. setacea, and very similar in 
aspect, foliage, flowers, &c., but. the cymes are more open ; 
the calyx minutely pubescent, instead of strigose-hirsute, at 
the base; and the awns much shorter than its segments, in- 
stead of being nearly of their length. The plant is smoother, 
often six inches high, and very much branched.
