(8-) ovulatis. Capsula dissepimentis semi-completis ad axin incrassatis pseudo-bilocularis. — Herba erecta 

 ramosa. Folia alterna pinnatifida, semiamplexicaulia, exauriculata. Racemi nurnerosi erecti graciles. 

 Flores penduli, tenuiter pedicellati. Corolla campanulata, squamis 1 minutis ad basin. 



1. E. penduliflora. Benth. I. c. p. 281. 



The genus Emmenanthus, supra, p. 217, was named and described long before the present one of Mr 

 Benthara, but as it was not published till after his was, it must receive a new appellation. 



Ord. XLII. SOLANEiE. Juss. 

 1. Nicotiana rustica. Linn. 



1. Solatium nigrum. Linn. — var. pubescens. Hook, et Am. supra, p. 152. 



2. S. umbelliferum. Escholtz in Linncea, 3. Litter, p. 148. Hook, et Am. supra, p. 152. 



Of this plant we have two forms, the one three times the size of the other in all its parts, more succulent 

 and tomentose. The lesser one has wiry branches, with the angles on them more conspicuous from the 

 tomentum being nearly absent. 



Ord. XLIII. SCROPHULARINEiE. 

 1. Linaria Canadensis. Spr Antirrhinum Canadense. Linn. 



1. Antirrhinum glandulosum {Benth.); undique pilis capitatis subviscidis conspersuin, 

 foliis alternis petiolatis anguste ovato-lanceolatis, racemo denso folioso, calycis lobis 

 lineari-lanceolatis inaequalibus. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1893. 



1. Maurandia (?) stricta; erecta ramosa annua glabra basi solummodo pubescens, 

 foliis infimis parvis ovatis petiolatis, reliquis lanceolatis linearibusque sessilibus omnibus 

 integerrimis, pedunculis solitariis axillaribus unifloris elongatis recurvis apice sursim 

 curvatis. 



A foot to a foot and a half high, slender, branched, annual ; the lower leaves small (5 an inch long), ovate, 

 petiolate, gradually becoming more and more remote, upwards on the stem lanceolate or the superior ones 

 linear, all entire. Peduncle from the axils of the narrow upper leaves, 2-4 inches long, at first reflexed, then 

 towards the apex bent upwards. Flower scarcely an inch long. Calyx gibbous below, of 5 deep lanceo- 

 late segments, curved up a little, nearly equal. Cor. ovate-oblong, also curved upwards, the limb 2-lipped. 

 Capsule globose, terminated by a moderately long tapering style, and that by a capitate stigma. Cells 2. 

 Seeds attached to each side of a central dissepiment. 



A singular looking plant, which, from the withered state of the flowers, we are unable satisfactorily to refer 

 to any known genus. The general form of the blossoms, however, the long curiously curved peduncle, desti- 

 tute of bracteas, the shape of the calyx, of the capsule, and style, are quite those of Maurandia, but the 

 stems are not scandent, and the leaves (except those near the root) are very narrow, lanceolate or linear. 



1. Collinsia bicolor (Benth.); foliis ovato-lanceolatis serratis basi subcordatis, nervis 

 subparallelis, verticillis (infimis exceptis) aphyllis, calycis laciniis ovatis acuminatis. — 

 Benth. in Hort. Soc. Trans. N. Ser. 1. p. 480. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1734. Hook, in Bot.
