436 PHANEROGAMOUS PLANTS. 



cies. The plant of the Eio Grande Valley differs from that of Cali- 

 fornia and Oregon in the wings of the fruit being truncate and in- 

 flated at the summit, while downward they become gradually narrower 

 to the base of the calyx-tube. I propose to call this species A. tur~ 

 binata. 



2. Abronia arenaria, Menzies in Hook. I. c. 



Hab. On the strand of Gray's Harbor and Dungeness, Washington 

 Territory ; abundant also around San Francisco, forming patches on 

 the shore 2 to 3 feet in diameter, producing its orange-yellow flowers 

 all the season. The fruit is mostly 5-winged ; the wings rigid, broad- 

 est and obtusely angular a little above the middle, and narrowed at 

 both extremities. 



A. umbellata, the other of the two sea-shore species, with pink-purple 

 blossoms, appears not to have been collected. 



Ord 67. CHENOPODIACEA 



1. CHENOPODIUM, Linn. 

 1. Chenopodium album, Linn. 



Hab. Shores of Puget Sound ; also on the Upper Columbia and on 

 the Lower Sacramento. Doubtless of European origin.
