216 PHANEROGAMOUS PLANTS. 



9. COPT IS, Salisb. 



1. COPTIS OCCIDENTALISM ToTT. & Cray. 



Hab. Woods, on the Umpqua Mountains, Oregon. — Upon this 

 interesting and still rare plant Nuttall was disposed to found a genus, 

 viz., Chrysocoptis, in Jour. Acad. Philad. 7, p. 9, t. 1. The present 

 specimens are all in fruit; the petioles 8 or 10 inches long; peduncles 

 about 6 inches, and the pedicels an inch or more in length. Follicles 

 4-6, somewhat curved, pointed with the very short persistent style. 



10. AQUILEGIA, Linn. 



1. Aquilegia Canadensis, Linn., var. Formosa. 



Hab. Borders of Puget Sound, and along the Columbia River; also 

 in the interior of Oregon. — This Columbine, the A.formosa of Fischer 

 and Meyer, differs from the Eastern A. Canadensis in having the 

 sepals nearly as long as the spurs, and twice the length of the limb 

 of the petals. Intermediate forms seem to forbid its being recognized 

 as a species. 



11. DELPHINIUM, Linn. 



1. Delphinium Menziesii, DC. 



Hab. Prairies and woods, Puget Sound and interior of Oregon. — 

 Plant clothed with a short soft pubescence, somewhat branching. 

 Leaves an inch and a half in diameter, with a reniform circumscrip- 

 tion, 3-parted ; the divisions 2- to 5-lobed, oblong or broadly linear. 

 Raceme 5-12-flowered ; the peduncles 1-2 inches long. Flowers 

 large, pubescent. Sepals deep purplish-blue. Spur straight, longer 

 than the limb. Upper petals yellowish ; the lower nearly orbicular, 

 moderately 2-lobed, bearded on the face. Follicles commonly 3, ob- 

 long, pubescent.
