376 ; Californian Lobeliacee. [ ZOE 
A specimen collected by Mr. C. E. Unangst, Plainsberg, Cal., has 
the lower lip 2-saccate, with two lateral folds at the constriction in 
the throat. The upper acute lobes are broad at the base, with a 
broad, somewhat saccate sinus between them, and are auricled at 
the sides above the base. The sete of the anthers are very short,, 
scarcely longer than the penicillate hairs surrounding them. The 
‘three upper anthers are also minutely penicillate. The plant is 
scabrous all over, and is perhaps D. ornatissima Greene, but pos- 
terior segments of the corolla not rolled up either in this or ina 
similar specimen collected by Professor Greene, ‘‘ near Vallejo, 
May, 1874.”’ : 
Specimens collected by Dr. Gustav Eisen, Fresno, April, 1879, 
are similar to the last, but the upper lobes shorter and more acute. 
Specimens from Lake County, more leafy than the southern ones, 
have short and small flowers, the lower lip plane and the posterior 
cleft not so deep as the lateral ones. 
A specimen from Hyampum, Trinity River, 1883, collected by 
Volney Rattan, has very large flowers, the tube broad, the lateral 
clefts so deep that the tube is only about one-fifth the length of the 
flower, the posterior cleft not so deep, lower lip plane. ; 
A specimen collected by Mr. Elisha Brooks at Forbestown has 
the posterior segments acute, with triangular sinus and two very 
small conical prominences on the ample lower lip. 
Specimen of D. elegans, Barren Valley, Baker County, Oregon, 
June, 1885, has short and broad, nearly equally cleft tube, lower lip 
large, with two yellow longitudinally saccate folds in the throat and 
long stamen tube. 
Specimens from Antioch have a similar broad tube, cleft a little 
more deeply at the sides than on the back, the saccate folds of the 
throat a little more elevated and not so long. They are perhaps D. 
insignis, which is described, however, as having “the upper lip 
merely bifid, cleft only two-thirds down,’ and thereby separated 
— from D; ek itd which is credited with “upper lip cut completely 
to the base’! These specimens from Antioch have the anthers 
: densely hispid, and the longest capsules (three inches) observed. 
D. bicornuta is in the herbarium from “Mokelumne River, 1885.” 
The conical processes in the throat are very prominent, and the two 
setae are twisted together so as to appear but one, and are nearly 
as long as the anther, -
