1. Kelloggia galioides, Sp. Nov. (Tab. 6.) 



Hab. Walla-Walla River: now known southward through the foot- 

 hills and Sierra Nevada to Mariposa County, California; in open 

 woods. — Herb, a foot or so in height, erect, branching loosely or 

 sparsely. Lower leaves are an inch long, varying from lanceolate to 

 linear-lanceolate, entire, rather obtuse. Stipules broad and very short, 

 united nearly or quite to the summit. Cymes terminal, large, widely 

 spreading ; the pedicels (when in fruit) nearly an inch in length, much 

 thickened and clavate below the flowers. Flowers small (as in As- 

 perula), apparently white. Fruit nearly the size of a peppercorn, 

 oboviform, densely clothed with white uncinate hairs or bristles ; the 

 grains easily separating. 



This remarkable and rare plant seems to have escaped the notice of 

 all the botanists and collectors who have visited the valley of the 

 Columbia and its tributaries, except Dr. Pickering and Mr. Bracken- 

 ridge. Although in habit it would seem to belong to the Stellatai, 

 and has a flower much like that of Asperula, yet its true place is in 

 the tribe of Anthospermeo?., next to Qalopina, a South African genus. 

 It is dedicated to Dr. Albert Kellogg of San Francisco, one of the 

 earliest and most zealous of botanists resident in California.
