 Ic. Mex. ined. pi. 70. The figure leaves no doubt that the common 

 species of the Californian Coast is the one intended.' It represents 

 a weak-stemmed plant with all the leaves 6-8-parted, large flowers 

 and a copious hirsute pubescence. It is incompletely dic^cious, the 

 larger-flowered form frequently developing seeds in the later flovvers. 

 The sterile flowers are sometimes deeply fringed.
