To the above species, fully described by Agardh, we have the two following to add : — 



24. L. truncatus ; appresse pubescenti-pilosus demum glaber, foliolis 5-7 linearibus 

 basi angustatis apice bi-tridentatis, stipulis rninutis linearibus brevibus, racemis elon- 

 gatis, floribus alternis, bracteis pedicello brevioribus persistentibus, calycis bracteolati labio 

 superiore bipartito inferiore integro (minute tridentato, Nutt.), ovario lineari-oblongo 

 hirsutissimo. — Nutt. mst. — Torr. et Gr. Fl. ined. 



Nearly allied to L. linifolius, Roth ; and an imperfect specimen, in Dr Lindley's collection from Douglas 

 (California), is doubtfully referred to that species by Agardh. But it is truly distinct, in the more truncate 

 leaflets and the much smaller stipules and bracteas, which latter are also persistent. Mr Nuttall found it at 

 San Diego, N. California, and his name we adopt. Flowers deeply tinged with purple. 



25. L. parviflorus ; elatus erectus ramosus pubescenti-hirsutus demum glaber, foliolis 

 5-7 obovato-lanceolatis, stipulis rninutis subulatis persistentibus, racemis elongatis, flori- 

 bus (parvis cseruleis) subverticillatis, bracteis subulatis pedicellum aequantibus deciduis, 

 calycis sericei labiis suboequalibus superiore bidentato inferiore integro, (legumine hirsuto 

 subtrispermo). — Nutt. mst. — Torr. et Gr. Fl. ined. 



Hab. Between Henry and Smith's Rivers, Snake Country. (Tolrnie.) — An exceedingly well-marked 

 species, H to 2 feet high, subglaucous. Leaflets broader upwards, acute or generally very obtuse. Racemes 

 long, slender, of numerous small bluish flowers.

The NuttalUa of De Candolle, founded upon the Ilex Canadensis, Mx., is the Nemopanthes, Raf'., and the 

 Nuttallia of Dick is now divided between Sida and Malva.
