I find on the shelf of the rock the Turritis stricta, now gone to seed, but two feet two inches high (Gray allows but one foot?); Pod upright and nearly three inches long, linear, and flat leaves decidedly lanceolate or linera; but some minute imperfect unexpanded flowers still on it appear as if they would have been yellowish."
