species, these bear only single or very few radical leaves, and mostly 
none at all when the corm produces its ii stem. The C. lanceo- 
lata of Hooker’s Flora, as to the specimens, so accurately characterized 
in his remarks, is the same cormiferous species as Pursh’s. But his 
specific phrase and the closing remark are ctidgatls more or less influ- 
enced by Pursh’s figure. The present discovery of a great tap-rooted 
Claytonia in the Rocky Mountains renders it not unlikely that Lewis 
and Clarke may have gathered the two species,—this without the root, 
—and that Pursh may have confounded them. However that may be, 
the names of the species concerned should stand as follows 
C. tancroxata, Pursh, fide herb., &c., for the cee plant of 
the Rocky Mountains and. Californ nia, with sessile narrow leaves. Yet 
this is quite likely to prove a variety of C. Caroliniana (which also in-
