mens in my herbarium ; and it results from this examination, that Chamisso's original plant, gathered at San 

 Francisco, as well as Mr Menzies' original specimens from Monterry (lat. 36°), are assuredly what we have 

 hitherto called C. crocea. If, then, the species be really distinct, which perhaps may admit of some doubt, 

 it is imperative that we transfer the name of "Californica " to the plant of Chamisso, who lias so well figured 

 and described it. The more northern plant, the principal station for which seems to be from lat. 40° to the 

 sources of the Multnomah, in lat. 43°, may then bear the name of its discoverer, C. Donglasii. The 

 localities they inhabit seem to be also different : the Californian species is found in dry sandy (sea?) shores, 

 at the port of San Francisco (C/iatuisso) ; the northern plant, in open prairies, on the banks of streams. 



2. C. caspitosa ; caulibus abbreviates basi foliosis, foliis subradicalibus segmentis 

 lineari-dilatatis cuneatis, pedunculis elongatis erectis, cyatho tubuloso liinbo subnullo, 

 calyce apice attenuato longe acuminata. Benth. L c. p. 408. (Eschscholtzia.) Torr. et Gr. 

 FL 1 . p. 63. 



" Flowers yellow, considerably smaller than those of C. Dovglasii and Californica." 



3. C. tenvifoUa ; caulibus abbreviatis basi foliosis, foliis radicalibus segmentis lineari- 

 subulatis, pedunculis elongatis erectis, cyatho tubuloso limbo brevissimo, calyce obtusius- 

 culo acuminata. Benth. I. c. p. 408. (Eschscholtzia). Torr. et Gr. FL I. p. 04. 



4. C. hypecoides ; caulibus elongatis ramosis foliosis, foliorum segmentis breviter 

 lineari-cuneatis, pedunculi appendice tubuloso limbo subnullo, calyce apice breviter 

 acuminata. Benth. L c. p. 408. — (Eschscholtzia.) Torr. et Gr. FL I. p. 64. 



" Habit nearly that of C. Douglasii; but the leaves are much smaller, and the flowers not one-third the 

 size. It bears much resemblance to Hypecoum grandiflorum." 



1. Meconopsis heterophytta ; foliis paucis remotis pinnatisectis, segmentis inferiorum 

 ovatis subincisis subpetiolulatis, superiorum linearibus integerrimis subconfluentibus, 

 capsulis lasvibus 5-6-valvibus. Benth. 1. c. p. 408. Torr. et Gr. FL I. p. 61. 



2. M. crassifolia ; caule basi folioso, foliis crassiusculis glaucis pinnatisectis, segmentis 

 inciso-lobatis niargine revoluto foliorum inferiorum ovato-cuneatis superiorum lineari- 

 cuneatis, capsulis laevibus. Benth. I. c. p. 408. Torr. et Gr. FL 1. p. 61. 



" These two species of Meconopsis belong to the first section of De Candolle. The flowers of both are 

 of an orange-red, ubout the size of those of Papaver Argemone."
