 plant stouter and with larger flowers than A. canadensis ; leaves more remote, some- 

 what fleshy and on short petioles ; styles scarcely equalling the stamens ; otherwise, 

 hardly more than a variety of A. canadensis. On rocks bordering Deer Creek. June.

CRUCIFERJE. 



CARD AMINE paucisecta, Benth. pi. Hartw. p. 297. Spec. Nov. " Hirtella vel 

 glabriuscula, foliorum radicalium segmentis 1-5, longe petiolatis, ovato-orbicularibus 

 vel subreniformibus obtusissimis ; caulinarium 3, oblongis, basi angustatis, sessilibus. 



Smaller than C. pratensis, but same habit and inflorescence. Radical leaves long- 

 petiolate, sometimes entire, limb 12.15'" broad, truncate at base, margin obscurely 

 sinuate ; but oftener, above the middle of the petiole, with 2, or more seldom, 3 — 4 

 lateral segments, similar to the terminal one, only smaller and long petiolulate. Cauline 

 leaves few and small, generally 3-partite, with narrow segments much smaller than 

 the terminal one."* 



* I have specimens of a cardarnine, collected by Dr. Heermann on the bars of the river Calaveras, which I con- 

 sider as a form of C. paucisecta, although somewhat differing from Hartweg and Pratten's plant. ' As is 

 frequently the case with California specimens, the radical leaves are wanting ; but towards the middle of the 

 stem the first cauline leaves begin to appear. These are 5-^-7 pinnately divided, and answering pretty well to
