order between the two, from both of which, however, it is separated by very striking marks of distinction.
The structure of the whole flower is indeed most singular, but no part of it so much so as the great peltate
foliaceous stigma. In the present species I have examined the seeds with much attention: they are ovate,
pale reddish brown, minutely tuberculated, having a sharp keel on their under side, inserted by their narrowest
point, upon a large club-shaped, or, rather, an oblong and stipitate receptacle, which stands out from
the central column or axis, into the middle of each cell. The albumen is waxy, but granulated. At its base,
near the hilum, and with its radicle pointing to the hilum, is a small entirely immersed Embryo, cylindrical,
cleft at one extremity into two cotyledons, notwithstanding that De la Pylaie did not perceive them. The
valves of the capsule open from above, between the cells, whose dissepiments are attached to the centre of
each valve and separate from the central axis or column.

the plains of the River Multnomah, in N. lat. 4 3 ° , and southward to the Spanish Possessions.—This, which
was, long after its discovery by Mr. Menzies, found by the Russian Expedition under Kotzebue, and
described by the Naturalists of that voyage, is now become in a few short years, since the journey of Mr.
Douglas in 1 8 2 4 -7 , one of the most common and most beautiful ornaments to our gardens. Leaves very
glaucous, tripinnatifid, the segments linear. Flowers large, yellow, not much unlike those of Glaudum luteum,
with a deep orange spot at the base of each petal. Stigmas 4, two longer than the other two. Seeds globose,
almost black, wrinkled, attached to a rather long seed-stalk.
