BOTANY. 
Crataegus coccinea, Linn. Var. viridis, Torr. & Gray, l. c. In the Sandia mountains, New 
Mexico ; October. With ripe fruit. 
Cratjegus subvillosa, Schrad. Hort. Gcett. C. coccinea, var. mollis, Torr. & Gray , l. c. 
Shawnee villages on the Canadian River ; August. In the great size of the fruit, no less than 
in the foliage, this differs from C. coccinea. 
CALYCANTHACEiE. 
Calycantiius occidentalis, Hook. & Am. Bot. Beecliey, p. 340, t. 84; Torr. & Gray, FI. 1, p. 
476; Bot. Mag. t. 4808. Deep ravines, Napa Valley, California; (with old fruit). 
LYTHRACEJE. 
Ammannia latifolia, Linn.; Torr. & Gray, FI. 1, p. 480. Near Beavertown, on the Cana¬ 
dian River, in low places ; August. 
ONAGRACEiE. 
Epilobium coloratum, Mulil. Wet places, near San Domingo, New Mexico ; October. 
Epilobium palustre, Linn. In a spring, on the Upper Canadian ; September. 
Epilobium tetragonum, Linn.; Hook. FI. Bor. — Am. 1, p. 206. Corte Madera, California; 
April 20. Near San Francisco Dr. Bigelow also gathered, early in April, specimens of an 
Epilobium, with purple flowers as large as those of E. montanum or E. parviflorum, hut too 
young for satisfactory determination. 
Epilobium minutum, Lindl. in Hook. 1. c.; Torr. & Gray, FI. 1, p. 490. Hill sides, Napa 
valley ; April 24. Knight’s Ferry on the Stanislaus river ; May. 
CEnothera jamesii, Torr. & Gray, FI. 1 , p. 493. Comanche Plains, etc., New Mexico; Sep¬ 
tember. 
CEnothera coronopifolia, Torr. & Gray, l. c. Laguna Blanca, New Mexico ; September. 
The corolla is sulphur color in the dried specimens: it was probably white in the living plant. 
CEnothera albicaulis, Nutt.; Gray, PI. Wriglit. 1, p. 69. One of the cinereous varieties, 
with leaves toothed at the base. Sandy bottoms of the Upper Canadian ; September. 
Oenothera speciosa, Nutt.; Torr. & Gray, l. c. Near Shawneetown and Beaverstown, on the 
Cat adian river ; August. 
CEnothera missouriensis, Sims. Naked prairies of the Upper Canadian. The smooth and 
broader-leaved form. Yar. incana. False Washita and Comanche Plains ; September. 
CEnothera serrulata, Nutt. Gen. 1 , p. 246. Walnut Creek, etc. ; August.

CEnothera tenella, var. tenuifolia, Lindl.; Hook. & Am. Bot. Beech, p. 342. Ilill-sides, 
Knight’s Ferry, California; May 7.* 
CEnothera densiflora, Lindl. Bot. Beg. t. 1593. Knight’s Ferry, Stanislaus river ; in dry 
ravines and on plains ; May 8. 
CEnothera clav^eformis, Torr. in Fr'em. 2d Bep. p. 314. Mohave Creek; March 2. Rocky 
arroyos of the Colorado ; Feb. 22. The petals barely equal the stamens, (2 or 3 lines long,) 
and the style is soon much exserted. The corolla would seem to he whitish ; but specimens 
gathered at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, by Lieut. Beckwith, (Beckwith’s Report, p. 115,) are 
plainly yellow-flowered. The following is a third and very striking species of the same group, 
(Chylismia of Nutt-all,) connecting it with Sphasrostigma. 
« CEbiloba, Durand, PI. Pratten. Calif, in Jour. Acad. Philad. 1855, (the same as Hartweg’s, No. 1,728,) appears to be a 
well-marked species. The petals vary, however, in the degree in which they are obcordate or two-lobed. In specimens 
raised by Dr. Short, from seeds collected in California by Dr. Dayton, the petals (“delicate rose-color, changing to violet”) 
are nearly two-cleft.— Gray, Mss.
