BOTANY. 
Anthers uniform. Fruit globular, flattened, glabrous or nearly so. This should he compared 
with P. laxiflora, Nutt., which we have never seen, and which is compared with P. lanceolata, a 
species having much affinity with the present one. Nuttall’s plant, however, is characterized 
as having the leaflets longer than P. lanceolata, and linear or oblong, the peduncles longer than 
the leaves, the flowers somewhat distant, etc.— Gray, Mss.
