In general appearance and size, this approaches the H. quinquenervium of Walter and of Hook. Fl. Bor.

The only specimen of this in the Collection, is in exactly the same state as that which was received 

 from Mr. Douglas, and described in the Flora Boreali- Americana, that is, destitute of flower and fruit: 

 we are therefore unable to add anything- to the very unsatisfactory account there given of this highly curious 

 shrub. 



1. Ceanothus thyrsiflora; canle erecto stricto ramisque angulatis, foliis breviter petiolatis 

 oblongis triplinerviis glanduloso-serratis glabris subtus nervis venisque appresso-pilosis,

 Hook. — " Eschscholtz, in Desv. PI. Nov. Calif, in Mem. de V Acad. Imp. de Peter sb. v. 10. 

 1826," et in Linncea, v. 3. p. 149. Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. v. 1. p. 125. 



The specimens of this exhibit, what Eschscholtz has correctly noticed, that the calyx is blue, and the 

 petals white.
