Godetiae novae Americae borealis. |07 



Godetia hispidula Watson, Proc. Am. Acad., vol. 8, pp. 599, 609 

 (1873). Watson in citing specimens mentions first Fremont's nos. 307 

 and Ppp. Part of the no. 307 as seen by me at Kew, that is. the 

 specimen with long-pedicelled and beaked squarish capsule with 2 sides 

 flattish or very shallowly grooved, I include under G. arcuata. The 

 other specimen and the specimens under „Ppp." I refer to Godetia Dud- 

 leyana. The dried pods in all specimens appear squarish or 4-sided 

 with two opposite sides each 2-ribbed, the other sides smooth or in- 

 distinctly 2-ribbed. 



10. Godetia Hansenii Jepson. 1. c, p. 336. 



Plant very slender, sparingly branched, 0,8 to 2,4 cm high: herbage 

 puberulent or the stem glabrous; leaves narrowly linear (1 to 2 mm 

 broad), acute or long acuminate, entire and sparsely or obscurely denti- 

 culate, 2,5 to 4 cm long, subsessile or shortly petioled : buds at an early 

 stage nodding but soon erect, the calyx- tips not free; flowers few. 

 scattered in the upper axils; sepals in anthesis remaining united and 

 turned to one side; calyx-tube narrowly vase-shaped, 6 or 7 mm long, 

 with a distinct annular swelling at summit of the ovary: ovary appa- 

 rently glabrous, but sparingly covered with minute short spreading 

 gland-tipped hairs, inversely clavate, 1 to 1,5 cm long, and borne on 

 pedicels 2 to 7 mm long; long stamens about half the length of the 

 petals; style nearly as long as petals, the stigmas whitish, elliptic-oblong; 

 young capsules 1.3 to 2 cm long including the marked beak which is 2 

 to 6 mm long; lateral faces of capsule with a very shallow furrow 

 sloping to center, the other faces with 2 or 3 filiform ridges; stipe 1 to 

 3 mm long.
