with the axis rather woolly. Bracteas imbricate, conforming to 
the leaves; with ciliately-hairy segments. This genus differs 
from Gilia, sect. Dactylophyllum, in the form of the corolla. 
1 L. cRANDIFLO rus (Benth. |. c.) plant nearly simple; leaves 
7-11 cleft; segments subulate, straight, with revolute margins ; 
tube of corolla hardly twice longer than the limb; filaments 
very short. ©. H. Native of California, Douglas. Corolla 
blue, with a golden yellow or purple bottom. 
Great-flowered Leptosiphon. PI. 4 foot. 
2 L. anprosa‘ceus (Benth. I. c. hort. trans. n. s. 1. t. 18. f. 
l. bot. reg. 1710.) leaves 5-7-cleft; segments oblong-linear ; 
tube of corolla 2-3 times longer than the limb; stamens 3 times 
shorter than the limb of the corolla. (2. H. Native of Cali- 
fornia, Douglas. A bushy, pilose herb. Corolla smaller, and 
more intensely coloured than the preceding, from white to pale 
blue or pink: the tube usually red. The multitude of flowers 
gives the plant a very gay appearance. 
Androsace-like Leptosiphon. Fl. June, July.

3 L. xv rzvs (Benth. in bot. reg. under no. 1622.) leaves 5-7- 
cleft; segments oblong-linear; tube of corolla about 4 times 
longer than the limb; stamens about 3 times shorter than the 
limb of the corolla; style scarcely equal in length to the corolla. 
©. H. Native of California, Douglas. Corolla yellow, having 
the throat deeper coloured.

Yellow-flowered Leptosiphon. PI. 3 foot. 
4 L. rAnviFLO'Rus (Benth. l. c.) leaves 5-7-cleft; segments 
oblong-linear; tube of corolla 4 times longer than the limb; 
stamens hardly one-half shorter than the limb of the corolla ; 
style a little exserted. ©.H. Native of California, Douglas. 
Corolla pale yellow, with a deep yellow bottom. 
Small-flowered Leptosiphon. PI. 3 foot. 
5 L. pENsiFLO RUs (Benth. l. c. hort. trans. n. s. 1. t. 18. f. 2. 
bot. reg. 1725.) leaves 9-11-cleft; segments subulate, erect, 
with revolute margins; tube of corolla shorter than the limb. 
C. H. Native of California, Douglas. Habit of L. androsa- 
ceus, only it is gayer in appearance, being more glandular. 
The corollas in this are, however, 3 times larger, with a short, 
thick tube, instead of a long, slender one; its colour varies 
from purple to blue and white; but are not produced in the 
same profusion as those of L. androsdceus. From the short tube 
of the corolla, this plant probably belongs to Gília, sect. I.

Dense-flowered Leptosiphon.

Cult. All the species of this genus are very gay when in 
blossom, and are thérefore worth cultivating in every garden. 
The seeds of them only require to be sown in the open ground, 
in April; and if sown in large patches, the plants, when in 
blossom, will have, according to the size of the patch or bed, 
a gayer appearance.

Benth. in bot. reg. under no. 1622. 
Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx tubularly-cam- 
panulate, deeply 5-cleft, with membranous sinuses, and linear, 
acutish, erect segments. Corolla somewhat funnel-shaped, with 
a short tube, and a 5-parted limb; segments of the limb obo-

the tube. Cells of capsule many-seeded.

Lin. syst.  Pentándria, Monogijnia. Calyx campanulate, 5-

rolla funnel-shaped, or sub-campanulate (f. 28. b.); limb 5-

throat of the corolla, or hardly within the tube; anthers ovate-

cells many-seeded. Seeds angular. Albumen sparing. Radicle 
shorter than the cotyledons.— Usually annual, rarely biennial 
herbs. Leaves alternate, pinnate, with entire or cut segments,

subulate segments.
