the summit of the stem. There is great variation in the degree to which

" Tropidocarpum * gracile, Hook.— Stems weak, 2 feet high or less ; 

 leaves pinnatifid or rarely 2-pinnatifid, with narrow, or linear segments ; 

 flowers in the axils of the upper bract-like leaves; petals l£-3" long, nearly 

 twice longer than the obtuse sepals; pods 6-20" long, more than aline 

 broad, pointed at both ends, ascending or slender spreading pedicels 10-20" 

 long. San Francisco Mountains, Arizona." I have not a specimen acces- 

 sible, and therefore have been obliged to quote generic and specific descrip- 

 tion from Fl. Cal. 1, p. 44.

 and used as a substitute for the better article. Nevada.

Lepidium nanum, Watson. (King's Report, vol. v, plate iv.) — Halleck 

 Station, Nev. 



Thlaspi alpestre, L. (?) — I have no sufficient means of comparing

 Exceedingly variable. Common in alpine and sub-alpine regions of Cen- 

 tral Colorado. (607.) 



BiscuTELLAf (Dithyr^ea) Wislizeni, Engelm.— A foot or more high, 



* " Tkopidocaepum, Hook. — Pod linear, flattened laterally, often one celled by the disappearance 

 of the narrow partition ; valves carinate, 1-nerved. Seeds in two rows, minute, flattened, not winged ; 

 cotyledons incumbent. Style short. — A low, slender, hirsute, branching annnal, with pinnately divided 

 leaves, and yellow solitary axillary flowers." 



t Biscuteixa, L. — Sepals nearly equal. Silique dehiscent, very flat, divided into lateral ovate 

 halves, each of which is surrounded by a cord-like margin. Each cell contains a single immarginate seed. 

 Herbs, usually erect, branching and hispid ; leaves more or less pinnatifid ; flowers bractless, yellow.
