Nasturtium calycimm* Engelmann. N. sp. Annuum erectum sen diffusum, hir- « 
sutulum; foliis caulinis anguste oblongis sinuatis seu subpinnatifidis basi au- 
ri’culata arete sessilibus vel semi amplexicaulibus; racemis* cdnfertifloris dernum * 
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 Ipng on a silicle 1 i 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 orate 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,)
