ADDITIONS. 



DE. Edward Palmer's collections in Southern Utah during 1870, re- 

 ceived while the preceding Catalogue Was going through the press, have 

 added several genera and species to the hst of known plants of that Territory, 

 as well as several new species to our Flora. Such as could not be incor- 

 porated in the Catalogue are here appended, with a few that had been omitted, 

 and localities are added extending the range of some of the other species.

' KEAMERIA, L. Flowers sulbresupinate. Sepals 4-5, slightly unequal, the outermost a little 

 larger, one of the inner sometimes Tery small. Petals 5 ; 3 averse from the outer sepal, long-clawed, the 

 claws counate or rarely free, the suhequal lamina spreading or the middle one folded ; 2 much shorter,

 anthers 2-celled, dehiscent hy a slightly iutrorse oblique foramen. Ovary 1-oelled or half-2-oelled by 

 the intruded placenta. Ovules 2, collateral, pendent from the top of the side which is opposite the outer 

 sepal ; style acutish or truncate. Fruit coriaceous, globose or slightly compressed, spiny or muricate,
