408 Report on some remarkable Hardy Ornamental Plants, §c. 



The following new species of the same genus have been sent 

 home in a dry state by Mr. Douglas ; but no seed of them has 

 vegetated. 



E. caspitosa ; caulibus abbreviatis basi foliosis, foliis subradicalibus segmentis linea- 

 ridilatatis cuneatis, pedunculis elongatis erectis, cyatho tubuloso limbo subnullo, 

 calyce apice attenuato longe acuminato. 



Flowers yellow, considerably smaller than E. crocea and califor- 

 nica. 



E. tenuifolia ; caulibus abbreviatis basi foliosis, foliis subradicalibus segmentis 

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

 apice obtusiusculo acuminato. 



Stature and flowers of E. ccespitosa, but easily distinguished by 

 its very finely cut leaves and by the form of the calyx. 



E. hypecoides; caulibus elongatis ramosis foliosis foborum segmentis breviter lineari- 

 cuneatis pedunculi appendice tubuloso limbo subnullo calyce apice breviter acuminato. 



Habit nearly that of E. californica ; but the leaves are much 

 smaller and the flowers not one third the size. It bears much re- 

 semblance to Hypecoum grandiflorum. 



Meconopsis. 



The dried collection contains two species of this genus, one of 

 which was raised in the garden, but died before it could be deter- 

 mined or drawn. As however a small quantity of seed has been 

 saved, it is probably not lost to us ; and I therefore give here the 

 botanical characters of both of them. 



M. heterophylla ; foliis paucis remotis pinnatisectis segmentis inferiorum ovatis 

 subincisis subpetiolulatis superiorum Unearibus integerrimis subconfluentibus, cap- 

 sulis laevibus 5-6 valvibus. 



M. crassifolia ; caule basi folioso foliis crassiusculis glaucis pinnatirectis segmentis 

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

 cuneatis capsulis laevibus. 



These species belong to the section Meconopsis of De Candolle. 

 The flowers of both are of an orange red, about the size of those of
