Sanguinaria Canadensis, Linn. Rich woods about Council bluffs. 
FUMARIACEvE. 
Corydalos aurea , Willd. Not seen on the bottoms to mountains. 
Dicentra cucullaria, I). C. In shady woods to mouth of Big Sioux. 
CRUCIFEILE. 
Nasturtium palustre, D. C. Not uncommon to mountains. 
Nasturtium obtusum, Nutt. On the Upper Missouri and Yellowstone. 
Nasturtium sinuatum, Nutt. Fort Clark, Upper Missouri. 
Nasturtium sesilifiorum , Nutt. Along Missouri. 
Nasturtium limosum, Nutt. Along low bottoms near to Council bluffs. 
Nasturtium calycinum * Engelmann. N. sp. Annuum erectum seu diffusum, hir- 
sutulum; foliis caulinis anguste oblongis sinuatis seu subpinnatifidis basi au- 
riculata arete sessilibus vel semi amplexicaulibus; racemis confertifloris demum 
elongatis; pedicellis flore flavido et silicula ovoidea acuta parva hispidula cum 
stylo gracilis vix longioribus; calyce persistente. In aspect as well as in the 
style (fully a line long on a silicle li line in length), this species resembles some 
Vesicariae, but the numerous seeds are those of a Nasturtium. The stem is about 
a foot high, often much branched and diffuse. The ovate lanceolate acutish 
sepals commonly persist until the valves of the pod have fallen. The pubescence 
of the pod consists of very short and pointed thick-based simple hairs. (A. Gray.)
