The only specimen of this in the CoUection, is in exactly the same state as that which was received
from Mr. Douglas, and described in the Flora Boreali-Americana, that is, destitute of flower and fruit-
w e ^ e therefore unable to add anything to tho very unsatisfactory account there given of this highly curious

The specimens in the Herbarium differ in no respect from the more northern ones discovered by Mr.

The plant in this Collection differs from the more northern H. dmimhms of Mr. Douglas, in the smaUer
size of the leatlete and flowers, in the less degree of pubescence, and. when dry, in Us becoming of an almost
mruginose green colour. Iu other respects, the two species accord.
3. Hosackia tomentosa; tota iiicano-tomentosa, foliolis 5 obovatis acutis, floribus umbel-
latis sessilibus, bractea folium simulante.
This will assuredly rank next to H. decumbens, from which it differs almost solely iu the very dense
covering of white hah-s. Only one specimen exists in tlie CoUection, aud that has jomig frmt and no
flowers The legumes arc short, in proportion to the length of the style. H '« »^7“ isn o t capitate, but
simply obtuse, as in Lotus subbipimatus of Lagasca, aud of this work, p. 17. t. 8; which, Mr. Bentham is decid-
edly of opinion, should be referred to Hosackia.
