160 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
DICHONDRACEAE. 
Dichondra brachypoda Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial from a slender root; stems slender, creeping, 50 cm. long or less, 
seldom rooting at the nodes, villous; petioles slender, erect, 12 to 80 mm. 
long, villous; blades reniform, with broadly rounded lobes and a narrow sinus, 
emarginate, 2 to 3 cm. wide, bright green, pubescent on both surfaces, more 
densely so beneath; pedicels stout, 4 or 5 mm. long; sepals oblong-obovate, 
rounded at the apex, 3 to 4 mm. long, villous; capsules pubescent, 4.5 mm. high, 
much exceeding the calyx at maturity. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 564085, collected in Filmore 
Canyon in the Organ Mountains, high up in deep ravines, September 23, 1906, 
by E, O. Wooton and Paul C. Standley. Altitude about 1,800 meters,

TEexas—1849, Wright 515, 516. 
A most distinct species, evidently related to D. caroliniana Michx. That, how- 
ever, has smaller leaves, much longer petioles and pedicels, and its capsules 
are shorter than the calyx.

Gilia brachysiphon Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial from a usually slender root; stems stout, 15 to 50 em. high, 
cinereous-tomentulose, simple or branched; leaves petiolate, pinnately parted 
into linear, spinulose-tipped segments, cinereous to glabrate; inflorescence 
thyrsiform, often short and somewhat congested, in age elongated, the flowers 
collected in small, pedunculate, close clusters; calyx 8 to 4 mm. long, villous, 
sparingly viscid, with lanceolate-subulate, spinescent lobes nearly as long as 
the tube; corolla bluish, 8 to 10 mm, long, the tube usually not at all exserted, 
about equaled by the oblong, apiculate lobes; stamens exserted ; capsules obtuse, 
4 mm. long. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 561092, collected at Van Pattens 
Camp in the Organ Mountains, August 29, 1894, by FE. O. Wooton. The plant 
is not uncommon in this range, growing on slopes near the summit, in the thin 
shade of yellow pines.

This is related to G. multiflora, but the corolla is very different, the tube 
in that species equaling the lobes, while in G. brachysiphon it is often shorter. 
Gilia campylantha Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial with numerous clustered stems from running rootstocks; stems 
tall, 30 em. high, very slender, densely tomentulose; leaves numerous, pecti-
