V. V. in Hort. Fraser ; v. s. specimen imperfectum in 
Herb. Lewis. This singular species resembles O. acaule 
of Cavanilles. The flowers open in the evening, are 
white, changing to red, and of an agreeable scent. The 
erroneous description given in the place above quoted 
was owing to a very imperfect specimen in the Lew- 
isian collection. 
Eriogonumpaucijiorum.—F. caule siraplici basi folioso, nm- 
bellis paucifloris, floribus subsessilibus, foliis lineari- 
lanceolatis utrinque cano-tomentosis.

Resembles C. 7 nammiliaris '3 the flowers are large and 
red 3 the fruit the size of a grape, green and eatable.

mentioned in Fraser’s Catalogue 3 but only seeing the 
plants without flowers, I could not deflue their cha- 
racters.
