(165) Pentstemon sp. ; perennial; flowers large, purple-blue; sterile 

 filament same length as tke fruitful, and less hairy ; anthers lanuginous ; 

 leaves lanceolate-ovate, serrate, smooth ; a splendid plant, 2 to 3 feet 

 high ; in large thick tufts in rocky places and channels of rivulets ; this 

 may prove a species of Ghelone, but no seeds of the last could be found 

 and this not yet ripe. 



. (166) Diadelfhia, perennial ; flowers yellow ; a very strong plant ; on 

 the channels of rivers and springs ; rare ; in flower and seed. 



(167) Helianthus sp. ; perennial ; leaves alternate, sessile, lanceolate, 

 rough ; stem hispid ; flowers yellow ; 2 to 2^ feet high ; on mountainous 

 grounds, in dry soil. 



(168) Amentaceae ; leaves linear, sessile, somewhat succulent ; a low 

 spreading, scrubby shrub; abundant on the plains and on rocky places 

 near rivers. 



(169) Astragalus sp. ; perennial ; stem strong and somewhat creeping; 

 flowers white ; capsule slender, smooth ; leaves slightly pubescent ; very 

 plentiful, in small tufts, on the plains near the skirts of the mountains, 

 in all dry light soils ; 2 feet high. 



(170) Dioecia, perennial ; leaves ternate, glaucous, nearly entire ; on 

 the hills ; rare. 



(171) Anemone sp. ; flowers white ; a low plant ; on the upland and 

 mountain woods, on dead wood, and all shady soils ; abundant ; perhaps 

 A. nemorosa. 



(172) Sedum sp. ; perennial ; flowers yellow ; abundant on moist 

 rocks, dry channels of rivers, particularly in hilly situations. 



(173) Syngenesia sp. ; perennial ; perhaps not far removed from 

 Santolina ; on the plains, in light dry soils ; rare. I find that (120) 

 Eriogonum will prove a distinct and constant variety or species, as it is 

 uniformly seen with yellow blossoms, much larger than any other of the 

 genus ; abundant on decayed granite rocks or dry channels of rivers, 

 growing luxuriantly with scarcely a particle of earth to support it. 



(174:) Lupinaster macrocephalus ''■ (Pursh) ; this beautiful plant is seen in 

 a short, thick, green luxuriant sward on the summit of the Blue Mountains 

 on the confines of the snow ; it is not seen untU upwards of 3000 feet from 

 the platform of the mountain ; seeds of this desirable plant must be found . 



(175) ? perennial ; flowers yellow ; leaves lanceolate ; in moist 



ground, near springs ; I had not time to look for this plant in a living 

 state. 



(176) Astragalus sp. ; perennial ; small, creeping ; leaves smooth ; 

 capsule short, curved, few-seeded ; on the plains, in sandy soils ; rare. 



(177) Myosotis sp. ; annual ; on the sides of rivers, not plentiful, and in 

 the mountain valleys. 



(178) Syngenesia sp. ; annual ; flowers white, three, four, five petals, 

 generally three-petal, three-toothed, centre half the size of the outer 

 dentures ; leaves linear, sessile ; a low spreading showy little plant, 

 frequenting rocky soils. 



(179) Malva sp. ; perennial ; flowers large, fine rose colour ; leaves
