Excerpt from Botanical Contributions, Vol. 3 This is doubtless a truly distinct species, growing six or seven feet high in alluvial soil, the greenish-white Howers fully half an inch long, the stem glabrous and glaucous. Thelypodium (Pachypodium, Nutt.) Brachycarpum, Torr. (in Wilkes's S. Pacif. Ex. Exped. Bot. W. Amer. t. 1); caule virgato; foliis caulinis parvis crebriusculis sagittatis integerrimis erectis; racemo elongato angustissimo spiciformi; pedicellis calyce brevioribus; sepalis linearibus; petalis angustissime linearibus; antheris mucronatis; siliquis semi- aut sub-pollicaribus, valvis carinato-uninerviis. - Valley of Mono Lake, alt. 6,500 feet. This well-marked species having been rediscovered by Prof. Brewer, a diagnosis is here given, since that of Dr. Torrey is still unpublished, and the plate is little known. Dr. C.L. Anderson has collected it in Nevada, with a very long virgate spike, and with some mature fruit. Smelowskia? Californica: cinereo-puberula, glabrata; radice ut videtur annua vel bienni; caule 1 - 2-pedali; racemis demum paniculatis; foliis pinnatipartitis, segmentis 5 - 7 oblongis obtusis saepe 3 - 5-lobatis; floribus parvis luteis; calyce deciduo; siliculis pusillis elliptieis oblongisve utrinque acutis stylo brevissimo apiculatis, loculis 1 - 2-spermis. - On Mount Dana, alt.10,000 feet, June, in flower; and near Mono Lake, alt. 6,450, July, with young fruit. - With its annual or biennial root, and much the habit of Sisymbrium canescens, this would render the genus Smelowskia yet less natural; but here it technically belongs. The flowers are only a little long; the elliptical, ovoid, or somewhat fusiform silicles one or two lines long; valves very obscurely one-nerved; cells 2-ovulate. Young seeds oblong. Draba eurycarpa: multiceps, nana, stellato-tomentosa; foliis spathulatis integerrimis in caudice rosulato-confertis; scapo leviter exserto paucifloro; siliquis ovatis stylo subulato acuminatis glabris (1/2 - 3/4-pollicaribus). - On a
