Mr Bentham describes the lobes of the leaves as broadly lanceolate, but in all our specimens they are
broadly linear and obtuse.

l a the Columbia plant, the leaves are almost as broad as in iVi pareiflora ; in that from California they
are narrower, the lobes shorter, more distant from each other, and quite entire. The calycine appendages
are so very minute as not to be detected without careful examination.

Onr first variety has the fiowers considerably smaller than 0., as small indeed as in N . alomaria. Fisch. et
Meyer, Ind. Sem. Hort. Petr. 2. p. 43 (Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1940), but the flowers of the latter are white,
and strongly marked with numerous dull lead-blue specks, and therein seems to lie the principal difference
between the two species. Dr Lindley states that in N. ntomaria the peduncles are hairy, and in N . insignis
glabrous ; but in our specimens of the latter, the peduncles vary from almost glabrous to perfectly hairy.
We fear that the two species ought to be uniied. N . phaeelioides, of the Bol. Reg, t. 740, appears to us
a large cultivated form of the true N. phaeelioides of Barton.
