Enemion trilernatum, the capsules are only two or three in number, reflexed, broadly ovate, with two or three 
oblique veins, two- or at most three-seeded, tapering gradually into a long recurved style. This also seems 
to be the structure of the fruit of Isop thalictr aides, judging from Jacquin’s figure (F’Z. Austr. t. 105), for 
my own specimens of that species do not possess the fructification.

(Tab. LXXII.) — Torr. el Gr. FI. \.p. 30. — A. leptocera. Nutt. 
Hab. Snake country, between Henry’s and Fish Rivers. {Tolmie.) — The flowers will at once distinguish 
this from all the other Aquilegice, for they are nearly three inches in diameter, and the long subulate slender 
straight spur is also nearly three inches long. The colour is probably blue in the recent state, nearly white 
when dry.

In the Californian plant, which is, I think, identical as to species with the D. grandiflorum of Siberia and 
China, the upper petals are yellow, the lower ones with the yellow spot less distinct than in the variety of 
the Old World, and the leaves have shorter and thicker segments. In one of our specimens, the W'hole of the 
petals are variegated, dingy yellow and blue.

Very similar in the structure of the flowers to the preceding, but these flowers are larger and more hairy.

calycem suhaequante. 
Of this variety, which differs from Mr Douglas’ in no essential particular, except in the shorter spur, there 
are two states in the collection ; one with the stem and leaves downy, the other quite glabrous. In all, the 
form and relative size of the petals are the same ; and I cannot agree with those botanists who have multiplied 
the species of the Genera Delphinium and Aconitum upon the slightest possible grounds. Perhaps indeed 
Messrs Torrey and Gray are right in referring this to D. Menziesii. 
5. D, (Delphinastrum) exaltatum. Ait. — De Cand. Prod. v. 1. p. 54. Hook. FI. Bor.

These are very fine specimens, with their densely flowered racemes sometimes a foot in length. In other 
respects, this plant entirely agrees with my specimens from the eastern side of North America, Messrs 
Torrey and Gray consider it a distinct species.
