from 8-4 em., as stated by De Candolle, to 20 cm., and are some- 
times more than 7-8-flowered. Barneoud, who is responsible for 
the Crucifere in Gay's Fl. Chilena, has followed Bertero in his 
ue determination of the species, as he describes the leaves 
as ‘*3-lobatis vel simplicibus obovatis”; and Dr. Reiche in the 
more ial Flora de Chile evidently has the same plant in view. 
Some culty presents itself as to the name that should be 
adopted ee C. chilensis Bertero, non DC. Dr. Reiche considers 
C. Solisiti Phil. Anal. Univ. 1865, p. 825, synonymous with the 
plant he describes as chilensis, and he ager a Prechate sc: Phil.

principal difference between the v chilensis of Bertero and C. nana 
Barn. is, if one may judge from the descriptions of the 
pecies, that in the former the raceme is more or less bractea ig

Dr. O. E. Schulz takes as the type of his Cardamine parviflora L. 
subsp. virginica (L.) the plant described by Linneus (Sp. Pl. 656) 
as C. virginica, The previous history of this species may be briefi 
stated. In 1810 Poiret (Encycl. Meth. Suppl. i. ae transferred it 
to Arabis, and included C. virginica Michx. as a synonym. In 1 
Torrey & Gray (Fl. N. Amer. i i took Michace’s plant as the
