CALIFORNIA.— SUPPLEMENT. 



[Jasminea. 



This belongs to the Lactucem, but the true genus is very uncertain, as we have only seen the immature 

 achenia ; these are oblong-cylindrical, striated, and truncated at the apex, without any beak ; pappus soft 

 and pure white ; hairs linear, apparently in a single series, closely denticulated or almost plumose at the base ; 

 flowers purple ; capitula, when young, campanulate, afterwards expanding and somewhat hemispherical, never 

 dilated at the base.

1. Lobelia carnosula; nana glaberrima ramosissima diffusa basi subrepens, caulibus 

 exsiccatione alato-marginatis, foliis linearibus integerrimis acutis, pedunculis axillaribus 

 fructiferis patenti-recurvis, pedicello folium superantibus, laciniis calycinis linearibus 

 ovarium corollaeque turn aequantibus, capsula oblongo-obovata. 



Hab. Blackfoot River, Snake Country. Mr Tolmie. 



A small tufted plant, with pale blue flowers, evidently growing in very wet muddy places, bearing flowers 

 numerous in proportion to its size, of which the peduncles become more elongated, patent, and at length 

 recurved, as the fruit advances towards maturity. It is somewhat allied to L. alata, Labill., but is much 

 smaller.

1. Rhododendron calendidaceum. Torr. Fl. Un. St. 1. p. 425. — Azalea calendulacea. 

 Mich. 



The tube of the corolla is scarcely so long as the segments, pubescent, but apparently not at all viscid ; 

 stamens much exserted ; calyx small, segments oblong, and, together with the pedicels, covered with glan- 

 dular hairs ; ovary and lower part of the style villous. Leaves oblong-obovate, nearly glabrous, deciduous. 

 — The forms of the pentandrous species have been so much multiplied of late years in our gardens, that we 

 scarcely know to what to refer our native specimens, and among others the present is attended with consider- 

 able difficulty ; we have, however, in the mean time, referred it to R. calendulaceum.

Ord. XXXIV. JASMINES. Juss. 



1. Fraxinus (Oralis) dipetala ; foliis 3-jugis, foliolis ovalibus obtusis acute serratis 

 glabris basi cuneatis, inferioribus in petiolulum longiusculum attenuatis superioribus duobus 

 sessilibus, supremo longe petiolulato, paniculis multifloris longitudine fere foliorum ac 

 infra folio ortis, petalis 2 obovato-oblongis obtusis unguiculatis. (Tab. LXXXVII.)
