1. Salpiglossis ? prostrata; sparsim glandiiloso-puberula, caule prostrate ramoso, foliis 
oblongo-spathulatis integris, pedunculis axillaribus uidfloris folio multoties brevioribus. 
Radix csespitosa, perennis ? Caiiles prostrati, teretes, filiformes, ramos opposites alternosve svibsimplices 
utrinque emittentes, g-landuloso-pulveruli. Folia anguste oblon^a, obtusa, basi lou^e attenuata, glandulosa, 
puberula, subenervia, parva,'vix semiuuciam longa. Pedunculi axillares, solitarii, uniflori, breves, semilineam 
longi. Calyx puberulus, quinquefidus, sinubus latis ; laciniae elongataj, foliaceae, lineari-oblougse, obtusse : 
tubus campanulatus, laciniis duplo brevior, e sepalis dorso viridibus margiue membranaceis constans. Corolla 
purpurascens, tenei’a, marcescens, puberula, calycera paullum superans, infundibuliformis, irregulariter quin- 
queloba. Stamina quatuor, fertilia, glabra, duo longiora, cum quinto interdum fertili saepiusve sterili: 
Anthera cordato-subrotundae, longitudinaliter dehiscentes. Stylus glaber, versus apicem crassior ; Stigma 
subpeltatum, planiusculum, medio linea exaratum. Capsida ovata, bilocularis, bivalvis, valvis apice subbi- 
fidis, dissepimentum a valvis demum liberum utrinque placentiferum : placenta planiuscula. Semina minuta, 
numerosa, subrotunda, scrobiculata. Albumen carnosum. Embryo teres, laeviter curvatus, albus, longitudine 
fere seminis, centralis j radicula ad bilum spectans: cotyledones marginibus ad embryonis flexuram, ideoque 
accumbentes. 
This certainly belongs to the same genus as S. linearis and jS". integrifolia. Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 3113; but 
they differ from the other of the Chilian species by tbe foliaceous lobes of the calyx, thereby approaching 
Petunia and Nierembergia\ indeed, the latter of these two species is Nierembergia phcenicea of Don, while 
the former appears to be N. intermedia, Graham, in Ed. N. Phil. Journ. n. 27. p. 175. From Nierembergia, 
even although it be united with Petunia, as Don proposes, these plants appear distinct by the inflated tube 
of the corolla, which has scarcely any limb. Lindernia Montividensis, Spreng. Syst. v. 2. p. 769, of which 
Chamisso and Schlechtendal remark, (Linnsea, v. 3. p. 24,) “ planta e Solanearum ordine, Nierembergice 
aflSnis,” is scarcely distinguishable from the present individual.

1. Scrophularia Calif ornica; caule acutangulo glabro parte florifero glanduloso-pubescente, 
foliis oblongo-triangularibus acutis basi cordatis duplicato-serratis supra glabris subtus parce 
glanduloso-pubescentibus penninerviis, thyrso apbyllo, laciniis calycinis ovatis acutis mucro- 
natis margine angustissime membranaceis, stamine quinto rudimentoso, capsula ovoideo- 
conica. — Cham, et Schlecht. in Linnesa, v. 2. p. 585. 
As remarked by Chamisso and Schlechtendal, this species approaches very closely to the Europteau S. 
nodosa: according to these authors the affinity is less with S. Marilandica, although to us it appears 
extremely allied to that species. From S. nodosa, the shape of the calycine segments and of the capsule 
will readily distinguish it. Our specimens have no root. 
1. Mimulus guttatus; glabriusculus, caide quadrangidari basi radicante, foliis inferioribus 
petiolatis ovato-oblongis obtusis superioribus subsessilibus subrotundo-ovatis basi subcordatis 
plurinerviis inaequaliter dentatis, pedunculis pubescentibus bractea sessili longioribus, calyce 
campanulato pubescente corollaque guttatun maculatis. De Cand. Cat.Hort. Monsp. p. 127. 
— M. luteus. Bot. Mag. t. 1501. 
'Although undoubtedly a distinct species from the Chilian M. luteus, it is by no means easy to point out a 
constant distinctive character. In M. guttatus the size of the flowers is usually much smaller, the peduncles 
are pubescent and shorter; but we do not find them so short as to verify the assertion that they are shorter
