We do not see that P . nudiflora of NuttalTs ms. in Herb. Hook, differs in any respect from the present
speeies. This was first discovered by Mr Meuzies, during Vancouver’s voyage.
1. Ce.xasDs ilicifolius {Nutt, ms.) ; foliis coriaceis perennantibus lucidis cordato-ovatis
breve petiolatis spinoso-dentatis, racemis densifloris axillaribus terminalibusque folia
æquantibus, bracteis pedicello brevioribus. ( T a b . L X X X I I I . )
This singular species has leaves resembling those of the Holly, equally harsh, rigid, and spinous ; but with
the fruit we are unacqusunted. The racemes are copious and thickly flowered.

1. Calycanthus occtrfenirt/ts; foliis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis rigidis nitidis utrinque

Branches smooth, of a rusty’ red colour. Leaves subcordate at the base, about six inches long and two
broad, gradually acuminated from below the middle, where they are broadest, to the apex, neither glaucous
nor tomentose underneath, even when young. The peduncles are either terminal, or from the forks of the
branches, and from two to three inches long when the flower is expanded.

removed ; fig . 2. Stamen ; fig . 3. Calyx-tube laid open, showing the ovaries.

Of this there are two forms in the collection : the one has the whole plant, but especially the leaves and
flowers, much more densely canescent than the other; its flowers too are smaller, and of a less lively red
colour.

2. C. elegans. L in d l.— Phæostoma Douglasii. Spach, Suites à Buffon, IV.;? . 393.
This varies much in the hairiness of the ovarium and calyx ; but is quite distinct from the following, with
which Spach unites it.

A solitary specimen of this we found mixed with Clarkia rhornhoidea, with the foliage of which it agrees
pretty well ; but it has very different flowers.
