Hab. Conception. — In our specimens the corolla is slightly puberulous, which is not noticed in Ruiz 

 and Pa von.

1. N. paradoxa; caulibus prostratis hirsutis, calycibus saspius triangularibus, corollis 

 infundibuliformi-campanulatis. Sims. — Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 865. Sims in Bot. Mag. t. 2604.

 1. COLLOMIA. Nutt. 



1. C. Cavanillesii ; leviter pubescenti-pilosa, caule erecto subsimplici, foliis erecto- 

 patentibus anguste-lanceolatis integerrimis, floribus capitatis, involucro nullo, calyce glan- 

 duloso. — Phlox linearis. Cav. Ic. v. 6. p. 17. t. 527. (non Collomia linearis. Nutt.) 



Hab. Conception. — This is certainly nearly allied to the North American C. linearis of Nuttall, yet 

 truly distinct. The plant is less branched, its leaves narrower, the upper ones not forming an involucre 

 around the flowers, and the flowers are as large as those of Collomia grandiflora.

 1. CYNOGLOSSUM. Linn. 



1. C. decurrens ; caule angulato-alato, foliis lato-lanceolatis acutis decurrentibus inte- 

 gerrimis, racemis terminalibus foliosis elongatis, fructibus glochidiatis. — Ruiz et Pav. Fl. 

 Per. v. 2. p. 6. Lehm. Asper. p. 143. Feuill. Chil. v. 2. t. 49. 



Hab. Conception. — This plant grows two or three feet high. It has been found by Mr. Macrae in the 

 same country. 



2. C. panicidatum ; adpresse pilosum, foliis lanceolatis acutissimis interne in petiolum 

 sensim attenuatis ciliatis nitidulis subtus cano-sericeis, racemis terminalibus paniculatis 

 laxis paucibracteatis, pedicellis fructiferis longissimis gracilibus patenti-deflexis, fructibus 

 glochidiatis. 



Hab. Conception. — Mr. Macrae has sent specimens to the Horticultural Society, which he gathered at 

 Murillo Bay in Peru. The base of the plant is suffrutescent ; the stems are from one and a half to two feet 

 high. The leaves 3-5 inches long, their margins slightly re volute. By the above peculiarites, and the lax 

 terminal panicle, with the exceedingly long slender fruit-stalks, this species is distinguished from every 

 other with which we are acquainted. 



2. LITIIOSPERMUM. Linn. 



1. D. myosotoides ; seminibus rugosis, corollis calycem a?quantibus, foliis lineari-lanceo- 

 latis, floribus lateralibus solitariis. Lehm. Asper. p. 319. — L. tinctorium. Ruiz et Pav. Fl.
