subhypocridiform margin. Ovules numerous." Grows on the banks of streams as 

 well as in the water. 



This plant is also in the collection made at Calaveras by Dr. Heermann.

OSMORHIZA bkachypoda, Torr. in Whipple's report, as yet unpublished. 



" It differs from 0. hremstylis in the very short pedicels of the fertile flowers and the 

 fruit, also in the minute stylopodium ; leaves also different, the general involucre 

 wanting or about one-leaved. (Dr. Torr. in litt.)" The whole plant is but slightly 

 pubescent and not hairy as is 0. hrevistylis; the configuration of the leaflets is some- 

 what trapezoid, shorter than in the other species, and petiolulate, with a few rounded 

 lobes or teeth. The fruit is rather truncate below the stylopodium, the styles very 

 short and parallel as far as the uncinate top. Near the banks of Deer Creek. July. 



DEWEYA arguta, /3. " This is probably Hartweg's plant. I have it in Whipple's 

 collection in two states ; one like the original specimen of Nuttall, with pinnate 

 leaves, but with a tendency in the lower leaflets to be compound ; the other with ter- 

 nately divided leaves, and the divisions quinate and pinnate. Yours belong to the 

 latter form." (Torr. in Litt.) Not in fruit. April. 



CAPRIFOLIACE^E. 

 SYMPHORICARPUS racemosus, var. trilobus, var nov. Apparently a small 

 shrub, subpubescent. Leaves 3-lobed, the middle lobe large, rhomboid-ovate, entire 

 or dentate ; the two inferior (sometimes a single one) elongated obtuse. Although I 

 have seen occasional lobes in the leaves of different species of Symphoricarpus, yet 

 this character is sq constant in my specimens that I think it necessary to notice it as 

 a new variety. 



CORNACE^E.

CORNUS sessilis, Torr. Spec. nov. ined. Frutex, foliis late-ovatis, acuminatis,
