Ord 85. CONIFERS. 



[Instead of prepared manuscript only some rough notes were found, 

 from which it appears that most of the common and now well-known 

 Coniferous trees of Oregon and Northern California were represented 

 in the collection ; but there is no systematic enumeration or account 

 of them which could be printed. Of the Monocotyledonous Orders 

 there is no manuscript at all to be found, except of the Cyperacece, 

 exclusive of the genus Carex. Among the notes relative to Coniferce 

 was found the subjoined explanation of Plate 16.] 



Plate 16. Cupressus Nutkanus : a branch, of the natural size. 

 Fig. 1. A male catkin and portion of a branchlet; enlarged. 2. A 

 scale of the same, inside view, showing the stamens; magnified. 

 3. A female catkin and portion of a branchlet ; enlarged. 4. A cone ; 

 enlarged. 5. A separate scale of the same. 6. A seed ; magnified.
