240 PHANEROGAMOUS PLANTS. 



2. Hypericum concinnum, Benth, PI. Hartiv. 



Hab. Sides of Mount Palmas, California ; in gravelly places. — A 

 well-characterized species, of which I have excellent specimens col- 

 lected by Col. Fremont, in California, in 1846. I have received it also 

 from the Rev. A. Fitch, and from the late Mr. Shelton. In all my 

 specimens the leaves are narrowly lanceolate-linear, and sparingly 

 pellucid-punctate, in which characters they differ somewhat from the 

 description of Bentham. The flowers are large for the size of the 

 plant. Stamens 40 to 50. Styles very long and somewhat spread- 

 ing. Capsule 3-lobed, 3-celled. Seeds narrowly cylindrical. 



3. Hypericum anagalloides, Cham. & Schlecht. 



Hab. Near San Francisco, California; common on the western 

 coast. — A small species, nearly allied to H. mutilum. The capsule is 

 ovate-conical, one-celled, with 3 parietal placentae. Seeds rather 

 large, cylindrical-oblong.
