We have described the position of the llowcrs of this plant, from the remains of the peduncles and pedicels ; both (lowers and fruit have fallen ott'. The genus, therefore, is very obscure ; it has more the habit of Tacsoitiu or Pnssijlura than of the Cucurbilacete, but there are no glands on the leaves or petioles, and the cirrhi are lateral. Ord.

In the other, from Tepic, the tlowers are umbellate, from fifteen to thirty in each umbel : these umbels form a corymbose patmiulc, the branches of which are covered with a mealy pubescence that is easily rubbed otf; there arc five styles, which are united into one to near the middle, the upper portion beiuf.' recurved.

Indeed all the three uro so closely allied, that they may possilily constitute hut one species, the only slrikinif diUfrfiice I can find beinK that Andrieux's specimens (which are not very perfect) have singularly dilated footstalks to the leaves. In the n. 117 of Andrieux, there is, on each side of the stem, at the hase of the petiole, a rather large transverse stipule ; hut in the other specimen, or species, the Imse of the petiole is continued merely in the form of a slightly elevated line ail round the stem, as in our plant. I'erhaps the stipules themselves have heen very early tieciduous. In our specimen, again, there is a slight tliirercnco in the (lowers, which have three outer leaves of the perianth considerahly larger than the rest ; Mid there are three inner ones, of which one is gene- rally aliortive.

Hy a reference to the first pnge of this work, it will now be seen that we liave described, ns far as hiy in our power, the species of the various collections miule during the voyage of H.M.S. Biosxom, with the exception of those of Rio Janeiro. This was the first and it was the last place visited by the Naturalists. But the collection is so siiudl, the speci- mens in such very wretched condition, aiul those few plants which can be determined so well known, that we think it unnecessary to enumerate them. We believe we shall further the cause of science much more by occu[)ying the reuiaining pages of our work with a Supplement to the Culijornian Colhction, which we are enabled to do from that made, chiefly at Monterry and San Francisco, (at no great distance from the coast,) by tlie unfortunate Dou^js^ as narrated in the Companion to the Botanical Magazine, vol. 2. p. 79, &c. ; and from another, very recently sent to us by Mr Tolmie, from the ^^ Snake Country," in the interior of California. This is a name given to the vast extent of Prairie through whicii Lewis* branch, or the Snake River, holds its course. Fort Hall is situated at the confluence of Blackfoot with Snake River, near Blackfoot Hill, in N. Jat. 42° 30', W. long. 114°. Snake Fort is built at the junction of Reed's River with the Snake, the position of which is in N. lat. 44° 20', long. 116° VV. The specimens, in beautiful preservation, were gathered, in the summer of 1837, by a friend of Mr Tolmie, who conducted a party fronj Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia, to the rendezvous of the American Trappers, in the interior of California. Some few of the specimens are from the " Green River :" for the meeting of the Beaver Trappers, who, to the number of 500 or 600, are scattered through the Rocky Mountains and adjacent country, was heltl in that year in the valley of the " Grteu River," a stream which is considered to be probably the main branch of the Rio Colorado, and which empties itself into the Gulf of California. There is not, perhaps, in the whole of North America, a district more interesting to the Botanist than that from which these plants are derived; situated near the western foot of the Rocky Mountains, at an iuimense distance from the coast, and at a great elevation, as may be inferred from the fact of its being near the sources of two great rivers, the one having its course to the north (into the Columbia), the other to the south (into the Gulf of California); and whose respective windings seem to circumscribe the whole of New California, except that portion of it whicii is washed by the Pacific Ocean. If other gentlemen attached to the hunting expeditions of the Hudson's Bay and American Com- panies would thus occupy a portion of their leisure time, we should soon be as well acquainted with the vegetation of the interior of this vast continent as we now are with that of its coasts. t:A 1 . ■M 316 CALIFORNIA.— SUPPLEMENT.

Our specimens are from California. When we compare this with //. Califoniica, Cham, et Schlecht. in Linneea, 2. p. 27, wo find so many points of resemblance, that we are almost inclined to suppose them the same, and that the present plant may not be completely developed, and therefore not exhibiting the ample panicle described by these authors. The points of resemblance are — 1. H. Californi< a, like ours, does not seem to have the flowers capitate, as in all the other species, but has them disposed in " paninila multiflora ampla, basi pluries dichotoma cum alari, apice raeemosa." 2. The outer segments of the c.ilyx are broader and less sharp than the inner, and are usually furnished with a small tooth or incision on one it lioth sides. 3. The plant is more villous towards the extremity. 4. The leaves are large, and the leaflets, ot .t similar shape, ari' few, and somewhat alternate or pseudo-opposite, b. The calyx is large, and the petals small. — The chief discrepancy lies in the leni;ili of the peduncles j in our plant, those belonging to the lower flowers are up- wards of an inch long, «iiereas, in U.

This plant has quite the habit of Mentzelia, especially in the broad foliage and few-seeded fruit, and the B. albicaulis tends to unite Acrolasia of Presl again to Bartonia ; indeed we scarcely find a single character left to distinguish that genus. None of the species can be said to have more than 5 petals : B. omata has 5 sterile petaloid stamens ; B. Icevicaulis, po.rvifora,micrantka,anA probably also S. nuda, have the petaloid sta-nens antheriferous ; while 5. albicaulis, aurea, and Acrolasia Bartonoides are destitute of the petaloid stamens. In B. omata, Itevicaulis, and some others, the stamens are very numerous ; in B. albicaulis there are about 30 ; in B. micrantha not more than 20 J and in Acrolasia, 10. The seeds in most of the species are very numerous ; in 3. albicaulis fewer ; but in B. micrantha, and in Acrolasia they are reduced by abortion to one to each placenta, placed in the cap- sule one above the other. The only difference then between Acrolasia and Bartonia lies in the style of the former not being twisted, and spirally twisted in the latter ; but that character again is weakened by our present species, for here the style is so slightly twisted as scarcely to be perceptibly so. From Bartonia we do not see how Mentzelia can well be distinguished.

Others, collccteil by Mr Tolmie himself, to the north of the Columbia, have the isaves and roots iiuitc perfect, and the flowers with capsules almost fully formed. Thus we are enabled to give a more complete account than has yet appeared of this plant, so well known to the Indians of N. W. America, and SI) much employed by them as un article of food. We may premise, that the account of the foliage and scapes and Hower-buds, given in the Botanical Miscellany, is quite correct. But the roots were imperfect, t'rnui having been prepared for food ; in which operation not only the fibrous parts arc removed, but the whole of the bark also, (dark brown externally, bright red within,) leaving only the nearly pure white fleshy inner por- tion of the root. The flowers are large, the scapes succulent, jointed above the middle, and involucrated with !)•! subulate membranous scales. Sepals about 7, orbiculari-ovale, membranous, spreading, obtuse, pale brown, persistent. Petals 8-10, of a delicate filmy texture and rose colour, 2 or 3 narrow and almost linear, the rest ovate acute, spreading, marcescent, and ultimately twisting around the stamens and pistil, while the sepals retain their form and colour. Stamens numerous, inserted at the base of the calyx. Filaments slender, shorter than the petals. Anthers linear-oblong, yellow, slightly bifid at each extremity, inserted by the back just above the fork.

Seeds numerous, dark-brown, hard, shining, smooth, reniformi-globose, each attached to a long white podo- sperm, arising from the base of the cell. Embryo terete, yellow, curved round the white mealy albumen. Radicle short. Cotyledons long, unequal. Wo do not find all the petals equal and narrow-lanceolate, as represented by Mr Nuttall. Mr Nuttall considers this plant as intermediate between Ficoideie ai.d Cactoidea ; but the above descrip- tion and accompanying i)late confirm the views wo have all along entertained of its close aflinity with Portu- lace(B. With that Order i^ agrees in the one-celled capsule, the long podosperms and stigmas, the structure of the seed-coat, albumen, and embryo, and with some of the species in the marcescent corolla twisting round the pistil. It differs principally in the more numerous sepals (Torrey and Gray having lately limited Portulaceie to those genera which have two or rarely three sepals), and by the capsule bursting from the base upwards. If, however, it be thought necessary to form of it a new Order, surely the name Lewisiea is much to be pre- ferred to the barbarous one given by Nuttall, derived from that by which the plant is known to some of the Indian tribes.

The pappus of P. carthamoides, as well as of the present species and of the folic wing, is certainly in a double scries, the outer row similar to the inner, but shorter and more slender. There is therefore reason to fear that the genus must be either distinguished from Aplopappus solely by the homogamous capituia (but there are some Chilian species ai Aplopappus without a ray) and tawny rigid patulous papjms, or the two should be united. 2.

The description given by De Candollc is extremely correct : he has omitted, however, to take notice of a remarkable structure in the ray : the ligula is oblong, very obtuse, cordate at the base, destitute of tube, and therefore sessile on the top of the ovarium, embracing the base of the style. The florets of the disk are broadly infundibuliform ; the anthers included, as well as the abortive style and capitate sti[^ma ; these are apparently quite destitute of an ovary. The achenia (of the ray) |)ossei)S that remarkable property noticed by De Candolle, which was first observed in the seed of the genus Gilia, and of the common Cress, of emitting horizontal filaments, which, after being kept some lime in water, unite and form a radiatcly striated gelatinous mass or limbus, equal in th'ckness to the seed itself. Mr Joseph Hooker has observed the same ))eculiarity in ont- or two species of Composita from Van Diemen's Land. 1. Leptosyne Douglasii. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 531.

It is a slender sjjecios, about four inches iiigh ; leaves free from glands, half an inch long and half a line broad ; branches filiform, few, leailess, one-tlowcred, about an inch and a half long, with a few glandular hairs near the apex ; involucre of few leaves, covered with glandular hairs ; dowers of the ray from four to seven ; the ligula small and inconspicuous ; the florets of the disk are cpiite abortive. 1. Hemizonia congesta. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 692. Our specimen is shrubby at the base, the leaves linear-lanceolate and quite entire.

To the description given by De Candolie of H. luzulwfolia, this certainly approaches ; but theie is no corymb, and we do not find palejc over the whole receptacle. 4 I 856 CALIFORNIA.— SUPPLEMEM'.

To this we presume a specimen wc have from Mr Douglas belongs, but it differs considerably from the definition given l)y Do Candolle. In that before us the stem seems to have been decidedly shrubby, branclied only towards the extremity, the branches simple, or sometimes bearing again a couple of branches at the apex ; these, as well as the foliage, arc slightly hairy ; leaves linear, lower ones about an inch and a half long, and decreasing u])wards to scarcely half an inch ; about half a line broad, quite entire, often bearing fascicles of young leaves in their axils. Capitula sessile, solitary, terminal, or on very short leafy axillary opposite nearly terminal branehlets ; involucre braetcated j braetere and uppermost leaves terminated by a sessile brown shining gland ; leaves of the involucre terminated by a large thick cylindrical gland, concave at the iipex, the margin serrated, the serratures thick, cylindrical, and resembling callous glands. Aehcnium obovatc, uibbons, without any beak ; receptacle covered with palcie, which are curiously and irregularly unhed toge- ther, like honeycomb, at the base— De Candolle says of his plant, " Priori {H. luzulafolia;) prima fronte simillima," whereas ours bears no resemblance to any other of the genus. 1. Oxyura chrysant/iemouies. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 693. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. fol. 1850 (quoad descriptionem). De Candollc's description agrees well with our wild specimens from Douglas, but not with the figure in the Hot. Uegister, which, however, appears to be the plant generally, if not solely, cultivated under this name. Lindley, indeed, says, that the pappus there represented to the florets of the disk, was introduced by an inadvertency of the draughtsman ; but seeds sent to the gardens of St Petersburgh and Breslau, produced plantH with a pappus. The branches of the style of the florets of the disk present also a different appearance. 1. Calliglossa Douglasii. — Oxyura chrysanthemoides. Dot.

This genus differs from Oxijura by the aclicnia of tiio disk having a pappus and boing pubcsct-nt ; from Callicliroa, by the form of tiic achenia, the entirely paleaceous receptacle, and the pappus being unequal in length and rather more paleaceous ; from Harlmannia, by the paleae of the pappus not being membranous, and the form of the achenia of the ray ; and from Madaraglossa, by the paletu of the [)appus not plumosely riliated or villous at the base. It is unnecessary to propose a new generic character, as that given by Fischer and Meyer, combined with Schauer's observations, 1. c, under Oxi/ura and Callichroa, is sufficient. 1.

Between llio above three supposed species, as defined by De Candollc, we can perceive no difference. C Mtlilcnsis is said to have capitula solitary and tomontose, and the canline leaves toothed ; in C. apu/u the capitula are usually aggregated and glabrous, and the caulino leaves quite entire ; while C. Patibilcensis has the leaves of the latter and involucres of the former. But from a comparison of specimens, from Europe, the Cape of Good Hope, the Canary Isles, Monte Video, Chili, and California, these characters vary on the same specimen ; and we have no doubt whatever that the species has migrated with grain from the south of Europe. Dc Candollc refers Douglas' plant to his G. Melitensis, although the cauline leaves (in our specimen) are (piite entire. » Composila.] CALIFORNIA— SUPPLEMLNT. 361 I .

The achenia and pappus of the outer and inner florets are |ireciscly alike. Having published our former notice before we were acquainted with Lessing's Synopsis of the genera of this order, we placed this in Borkhausia ; but now that that genus has been separated into others, the Californian plant must unquestionably be removed to the same as the Chilian species.

In the wild plant the flowers are densely capitate, nearly sessile, and the calyx almost woolly ; but when cultivated, the former arc fascicled and on long pedicels, while the latter are merely pubescent. It therefore becomes a matter of great difficulty to distinguish the present from the two preceding species ; and if the relative length of the calyx and corolla, and of the corolla and stamens, prove not constant, we fear that all must be reduced as varieties to G. laciniata of Ruiz and Pavon.

Hab. Snake Fort, Snake Country. Mr Tolmie. The flowers are very minute, and white with a yellow eye ; the calyx is 5-anglcd ; the segments arc about as long as the tube, and in frnit are patulous or somewhat recurved ; the base of the tube is membranaceous between the ribs or angles, and separates transversely with five teeth. The nuts do not appear to be at all perforated at the base, and are inserted into the bottom of the calyx. 1.

This approaches closely to A. angustifolia, Lehm. (Fisnh. ct Mcy. Ind. Sem. Hort. Pctrop. Secundus, p. 26), but that we believe to be a (^hilian species, transmitted by Bertero, and therefore probably the same with Cuming's No. 512, and Bridges' No. 311. In the Chilian plant, the flowers are almost entirely the same as in A. vernicosa, but the nuts are ovate, keeled and transversely wrinkled on the back, and all over minutely muricated, the points on the keel and wrinkles being much larger than the others ; of this Mathews' No. 193 is perhaps a mere variety, but the leaves are much broader, and, when dry, of a blackish colour. Lithospermum lycopsoides, Lehm. in Hook. Flor. Bor. Am. 2. p. 89, is the same with Amsinchia li/cop- soides, Lehm. Del. Sem. H. Hamb. 1831. 2.

We do not possess the fruit of this species, but in habit it accords with Amsinchia, and in specific charac- ter with A. spectabilis, F. and M. It certainly is an extremely liandsoirie plant, with large yellow flowers ; the corollas much exserted, and the calyx thickly clothed with white and golden-coloured hairs. Leaves 2-3 inches long. The genus Amsinchia is not, so far as we know, as yet further characterized, than by having four cotyle- {.BoruginecB. 152.

It was noticed by Lindloy in his first edition of the Introduction to the Natural System, and called there Benthamia ; as however no reasons were assigned for reducing the genus of Richard of that name, Lehman supposed it to be un oversight, and altered it to Amsiiichia. Since then, Dr Lindley lias bestowed the name Benthamia on an East Indian plant. This confusion is to be regretted ; and now that Richard's genus has been ascertained to be I'eristi/lus of Biunie, it were better that Atnsinc/iia should bear the appel- lation originally given to it. 1.

This ought, perhaps, to bo removed from the genus: it is so extremely allied to C. liUeriJtorun, Lam., or C. lincare, Ruiz et Pav. (Mathews, No. 332, Bridges, No. 253, and Ginning, No. 721), that it can only be distinguished by a close examination of the nuts, which, in tiio Chilian plant, arc pectinatcly toothed all round the margin. Lehman ])laces this last in liindcra, an arrangement to which we can scarcely assent. Another plant of the same group is C. /lilosum, Ruiz ct Pav. (Mathews, No. 989, and Cuming, No. 1070). Ono. XLI.

The Californian specimens have quite a different appearance from those gathered at Fort Vancouver ; both are canesccnt on the under side of the leaves, from the presence of adpressed white rather soft hairs ; but these are much more numerous in the Californian form than in the other. The hairs on the branches and petioles are whitish and somewhat soft to the touch. In //. macrophyllum (Nutt. Indig. PI. Un. St. p. Ill), which Mr Bentham seems to think may be the same, the hairs on the stem, branches, and petioles, are longer and much more harsh ; the under side of the leaves is only sprinkled with a few bristly hairs, and these exist chiefly on the nerves and veins ; the flowers are either capitate (as in a specimen from Drummond found in the Alleghanies) or they form a corymbose compact cyme (as in the specimens from Dr Short), with the pedicels thick and stout, and shorter than the calyx ; divisions of the calyx attenuated from a broad ovate base. Nuttall's species approaches, in some respects, to //. Virginicum, but that has a loose dichotomous inflores- cence, with slender pedicels that are often longer than the calyx ; the calyx-segments narrow-linear ; and the stem is much more free from hairs, often nearly quite glabrous.

C. hispida. BetUh. in Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 2. p. 103? Hab. Bruneau, Snake Country. Mr Tolmie. The height of our plant is, according to Mr Tolmic, one to three feet. The loaves are divided as in C. coccinea, but the calycino segments are ovato-oblong, almost like those of C leptentrioualii. It is hispid, as the original C. hitpida, but the calycine lobes are shorter, not oblong-linear, as in C. pallida. The flowers and bracteas appear to have been red. 3. C. septentrionalis. Kunth. — Benth. in Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 2. p. 105. This Californian plant may perhaps be very different. The lobes of the calyx arc broader and shorter than in North American specimens ; the bracteas and calyx, although pale, have a tinge of red, and may have been deep red when fresh ; the leaves on the young branches are linear and obtuse ; those on the tten.. at the origin of the branches, trilid to about tne middle, their segments linear and obtuse ; bracteas (at least the lower ones) cuneate and trifid ; flowers subscssilc. The habit is somewhat that of C. lilhotpermoida. 4. C. affinis. Hook, et Am. supra, p. 154. 5. C. latifolia. Hook, et Am. supra, p. 154. — C. inacrocarpa. Benth. Scroph. Ind. p. 13. The upper lip of the corolla is shortly exsertcd beyond the calyx. 6. C. /oliolosa. Hook, et Am. supra, p. 1 54. Our original form of this plant has the leaves approximated, the axils bearing iuha of similar leaves, so that the whole merited well the name we gave. But in Douglas' collection are specimens of two other varieties or forms, which assume a considerably different appearance. The first of these has the leaves twice the length of Becclicy's specimens, and their secondary leaves in the axils are very small and few. The second has the primary leaves still larger, less tomentose, and sometimes trifid to beyond the middle ; the secondary leaves are copious, as in Becchey's plant ; the spike is partly in fruit, and much more elongated and lax than in the other specimens. In Beechey's and the last m'jntioned form, the stems seem decidedly woody, in the other one somewhat herbaceous ; so that we have i o doubt but the above different appear- ances arise from the plants having been in different stages of growth, and from the specimens having been taken, in the one case, from the old branches, in the other from the young shoots.
