1. Streptanthus glandulosus ; inferne piloso-hlspidus, foliis lineari-oblongis dentato-sub- 
pinnatifidis dentibus glandulosis, radicalibus petiolatis caulinis profunde sagittatis am- 
plexicaulibus, floribus erecto-patentibus (purpureis) secundis, siliquis longe linearibus 
paten tibus curvatis valvis reticulatis uninervibus. Hook. Ic. PL 1. t. 40. Torr. et Gr. FL

Quite different from theS. maculatus, Nutt., from the obtusifolius. Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 3317j as well as from 
the .S', hyacinthoides. Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 3516. The lower part of the plant is always more or less hispid, 
the leaves pinnatifid (the uppermost ones sometimes excepted), with the teeth or segments terminated by a 
gland ; the flowers (of the same colour as the last-mentioned handsome species) never drooping, but secund ; 
the siliqua always curved, glabrous. 
2. S. sagittatus ; subglaber, foliis radicalibus spatbulatis caulinis sessilibus sagittatis 
integerrimis acutis inferioribus oblongis superioribus linearibus, floribus siliquisque erectis, 
petalis obovatis longe tenuiterque unguiculatis — Nutt, in Torr. et Gr. FI. 1 . p. 76. 
Hab. Snake Country, about Thomas’ Fort. {Tolmie.)—Na. erect, rather stout plant, a foot to 18 inches 
high, glabrous, except in the petioles of the lower leaves, which are distantly ciliated. Stem-leaves strongly 
sagittate, in our specimens 4-5 inches long ; but in general 2-3 inches. 
3. S. flavescens ; pilosus, foliis lineari-oblongis inferioribus petiolatis dentato-pinnati- 
fidis dentibus glandulosis caulinis sessilibus integerrimis, floribus erectis (flavescentibus,) 
petalis linearibus acutis, siliquis (immaturis) erectis hirsutis. Hook. Ic. PI. t. 44. Torr. et 
Gr.Fl.l.p.ll. 
The few specimens of this plant in our collection appear to have the habit and character of Streptanthus. 
They are small, 6-8 inches high, simple, nnbranched ; the cauline leaves sessile, but not amplexicaul, nor in 
any way auricled at the base. The flowers are yellow, but the anthers have a purplish tinge. Germen and 
young fruit (which is erect) hairy ; style evident ; stigma capitate. 
1. Hesperis Menziesii. (Tab. LXXV.) — Hook. FI. Bor. Am. \.p. 60. — Phoenocaulis 
cheiranthoides. Nutt. Torr. et Gr. FI. \. p. 9\. 
Hab. Pine Creek, in the Snake Country. ( Tolmie.) — Very fine specimens of this plant are in the beauti- 
ful collection of Mr Tolmie, from the Snake Country, which enable us to give a figure of it. Radical leaves 
large, oblongo-spathulate, hoary, with minute, dense, stellated down, tapering into petioles, which are dilated 
at the base, quite destitute of pubescence, glossy, and of a bright straw-colour. Scapes, as they may be 
called, (rather than stems,) scarcely twice the length of the root-leaves, nearly glabrous, as are the small 
oblong leaves which they bear themselves. Corymbs of many large bright purple flowers. Young siliquse 
spreading.*

• Since the above was in type, we have had the pleasure of seeing the fruit of this beautiful plant, sent to Dr 
Boott by Mr Nuttall, as his Phcenocaulis cheiranthoides. This fruit indeed differs (as may be seen from that which 
we have now added to our figure) from Hesperis (we more particularly allude to H. aprica'), in the pods being 
broader, fewer, about (3)-seeded, the seeds without margin ; and in having the cotyledons accumbent ; though in 
our seed, which had a third imperfect cotyledon, the cotyledons were incumbent. In every other respect the flowers 
and the fruit quite agree with Hesperis, on which account we are led, for the present, to continue it in that genus.
