CALIFOENIA. 
[ Onagrariae. 
1. Rubus rnacropetalus ; hirsutus, caule elato fruticoso, ramis angulatis gracilibus elong- 
atis, petiolis costis subtus pedunculis calycibusque aculeato-setaceis, foliis trifoliolatis, foliolis 
ovatis inciso-lobatis serratis membranaceis, terminali majore longe (lateralibus brevi-) 
petiolulatis, stipulis lanceolatis, pedunculis subbifloris, calycis segmentis longe acuminatis 
petala (alba) subaequantibus. — Douglas, in Hook. FI. Bor. Am. v. 1. p. 178. t. 59. 
2. Rubus Menziesii; caule procumbente terete aculeate glabro, ramis brevibus pubes- 
centi-tomentosis aculeatis, foliis 3-foliolatis, foliolis lato-ovatis sublobatis inaequaliter serratis 
brevi-petiolulatis supra hirsutis subtus pallidioribus birsutissimis, paniculis terminalibus 
paucifloris, pedicellis calycibusque aculeatis, segmentis calycinis ovatis acutis mucronatis 
tomentosis corolla (rubra) brevioribus. Hook. FI. Bor. Am. v. 1. p. 179. — R. ursinus. 
Cham, et Schlecht. in Linnesa, v. 2. p. 11? 
This is a more luxuriant plant than Mr. Menzies’ specimens, but in every other respect the same. In 
many points, it agrees with the Jl. ursinus of Chamisso and Schlechtendal ; but in that, the leaves appear 
to be frequently simple, and those authors compare it with R. Idaus. 
3. Rubus velutinus; inermis, caule fruticoso erecto flexuoso pubescente basi nudo, foliis 
amplis simplicibus profunde cordatis acute 5-lobis serratis reticulatis molliter densissime 
pubescenti-tomentosis subtus pallidis velutinis, stipulis ovatis acuminatis sericeis, coi'ymbis 
paucifloris, calycibus velutinis laciniis obtusis corolla (alba) brevioribus longe cuspidatis. 
This is abundantly distinct, both from R. odoratus and R. Nutkanus, and, as far as can be judged from 
the description, equally so from the A. vitifolius of Cham, et Schlecht., which, however, like the present, 
is a native of San Francisco : all belong to the simple and lobed fruticose species of the Genus. The 
underside of the leaves is pale and velvety, and beautifully relieved by the’ reticulations. 
1. Fragaria Chilensis; floribus (magnis) patentibus, foliolis late obovatis obtusissimis 
apice grosse serratis coriaceis rugosis subtus sericeo-villosissimis, pedunculis calycibusque 
sericeis. — Ehrh. Beitr. — De Cand. Prodr. v. 2. p. 571. Hook. FI. Bor. Am. v. \. p. 185. 
2. Fragaria Californica. Cham, et Schlecht. in Linncea, v. 2. p. 20. 
Specimens, quite according with the description in the Linnsea, are in the Collection ; but in a very 
imperfect state. Perhaps the var. /3. of the F. Chilensis, noticed in Hook. FI. Bor. Am., should be referred 
to it : but here, the peduncle is single-flowered, and very short. 
Rosa ; — Of this genus, three species are in the Collection : one with double flowers, and probably the 
inhabitant of a garden. The others are too imperfect to be satisfactorily detennined, having no perfect flower 
nor fruit. Neither of them, however, accords with the R. Californica of Schlechtendal, and must be different 
from it, unless we make great allowance for the sportive natm’e of the species of this most difficult genus.

1. Zauschneria Californica; foliis linearibus den ticulatis integrisve, bracteis ovario brevi- 
oribus, capsulis subsessilibus. Prcsl, in Reliq. Hcenk. v. 2. p. 28. t. 52. 
This very remarkable genus, with flowers in shape and colour resembling, a Fuchsia, but with the 
fruit of an Epilohium, was first discovered in California by Mr Menzies, and noticed in the “ Annals of 
Botany,” by Mr. Konig (v. 1. p. 543.) It was not, however, described .and named, till it appeared very
