ceis. Corolla infundibuliformis, limbo patente, lobis obovatis obtusis. Stamina intra partem superiorem

1. L. Californicum ; foliis patentibus, floribus subcapitatis, corollse tubo calycem sub- 
aequante, stigmatibus stylo duplo longioribus. (Tab. LXXXIX.) 
The corolla is large. Another species of this genus is Phlox Hookeri, Dough in Hook. Flor. Bor. Am.

Our specimens are more leafy and not so much advanced as those from Columbia ; but they appear to 
be the same species. M. versicolor, of the Flor. Bor. Am., with small flowers, seems to be M. verna of 
Nutt., and has its calyx oblique ; the larger-flowered specimens are perhaps referrible to M. Jlaccida. 
2. M. muricata; caule erecto stricto foliisque linearibus obtusis ubique piloso-hispidis, 
racemis densis bi-trifidis terminalibus ebracteatis, calycibus hispidis, nucibus ovatis ob- 
tusiusculis dense muriculatis. 
From six inches to a foot high, erect, straight, rather stout, throwing out numerous lateral leafy branches, 
which, in our specimens, are short, from not being sufficiently developed. Flowers white ; limb flat ; seg- 
ments as long as the tube. The hairs on the calyx and raceme are yellowish-white.

(Chil.) No. 707. Bridges (Chil.) No. 309. 
The flowers are white ; the limb flat and broad ; the segments about the length of the tube. The achenia 
are wrinkled, but not always black, and not in the slightest degree hispid or muricated.
