PORTULACACEJ. 249 



3. Claytonia alsinoides, Sims. 



Hab. Puget Sound, &c; very common throughout all the region. 

 [Now determined to be the original G. Sibirica, Linn.] 



4. Claytonia linearis, Dougl. in Hook, 



Hab. Near Nisqually, Puget Sound, and on the Spipen River.— 

 We have little hesitation in referring G clichotoma, Nutt., to G. line- 

 aris. Some of our specimens are intermediate in characters between 

 the two species. Hooker (in Geyer's Rocky Mount. PI., Lond. Jour. 

 Bot. 6, p. 230) refers Nuttall's plant to G spathulata, Dougl. ; but in 

 our specimens of the former, received from Mr. Nuttall himself, the 

 cauline leaves are all linear and alternate. 



5. Claytonia Chamissonis, Esch. & Ledeb. 



Hab. Near Fort Colville on the Upper Columbia River, and else- 

 where.— We have seen no specimens of Bongard's G. flagellar is, but 

 it seems to differ from G Ghamissonis chiefly in its smaller and pro- 

 portionally broader leaves, and may be here referred, along with G. 

 aquatica, Nutt. in Torr. & Gray. 



6. Claytonia parvifolia, Mocino. 



Hab. Nisqually, Puget Sound.— The root seems to be perennial in 

 our specimens; and the petals are emarginate, not acutely bifid at 

 the apex, as described by De Candolle, nor entire as in Nuttall's 

 plant.
