Hab. /3. Snake Country ; at Snake Fort. (Tolmie.) — This var. is probably the A. Hookeri of Nutt. 1. c, 

 which he found in the Rocky Mountains, lat. 40°, and of which he remarks that it is "allied to A. Frank- 

 linii, but with shorter leaves, bracteas, and sepals."

 the Californian specimens from Mr Douglas, there alluded to.) 



1. Lychnis pulchra. Schlecht. in Linncea, v. 5. p. 234. — foliis linearibus. 



These specimens quite agree with the Mexican L. pulchra, above quoted, except in the narrower leaves. 

 The petals are deep red. 



Ord. IX. MALVACEAE. Juss. 



1. Malva rotund/folia. L. — M. obtusa. Torr. et Gr. Fl. I. p. 225. 



We do not see how this in any way differs from the 31. rotundifolia of Europe, and it is in all probability an 

 introduced plant. 



2. M. malachroides ; herbacea erecta ubique piloso-hispida, foliis longe petiolatis mem- 

 branaceis profunde cordatis subprofunde 5-7-lobis acutis grosse subinciso-dentatis, stipulis 

 subulatis, pedunculo terminali foliis breviore, fioribus spicatis, involucri bracteis 3 subu- 

 latis calyceque hispidissimis, petalis bifidis. 



We possess no fruit of this plant, which seems very different from anything- hitherto described.

2. S. diploscypha ; annua herbacea, caule petiolis bracteisque patenti-pilosis, foliis 

 digitatim 7-partitis, laciniis bi-trifidis oblongis obtusis, stipulis bracteisque lineari-setaceis, 

 fioribus aggregatis, calycis 5-partiti laciniis acuminatissimis. (Tab. LXXVI.) — Torr.et 

 Gr. Fl. 1. p. 234. 



Column of stamens, as Messrs Torrey and Gray have described it, double ; outer one hispid externally 

 lobed below the middle, the anthers in a single row, about five at the summit of each of the lobes ; inner one 

 irregularly lobed, rather shorter than the outer, and connate with it above the base. Ovaries 9, one inserted 

 into a shallow 9-toothed cap.
