166 New Species of Lower Caltfornia Plants. [zow 
Santos down to Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and prob- 
ably northward along the east to Muleje, where it was first col- 
lected by Dr. Palmer. ‘The west coast specimens are more luxu- 
riant plants than the original one and aresometimes six feet high. 
The flowers are slightly larger and the conical beak is bidentate. 
Dr. Greenmann writes that the beak of the stigma is inconspicu- 
ously bidentate in the type specimens. Dr. Watson describes the 
flowers as yellow, but the outer side of the petals is lurid-brown, 
and I have never seen them open wide enough to display the dull 
yellow interior. 
Gilia scabra. Suffrutescent, branching, 4-8 dm. high, glandu- 
lar-roughened; upper leaves parted to the base into 6-7 linear di- 
visions, lower leaves linear, 2-4 cm. long, cleft into 2-3 pairs of 
linear-lanceolate lobes 1-2 cm. long, all mucronate; corolla sim- 
ilar to that of G. floribunda, 15 mm. long, the tube slightly exceed- 
ing the calyx lobes, these 7 mm. long, acuminate, scarious-mar- 
gined; ovules 4 or more in each cell. 
Collected at Santa Rosalia, Lower California, March 4, 1goo, 
by C. R. Orcutt. This Gilia is related to G. floribunda and be- 
longs to §. Siphonella, although it differs from the published 
characters of the section in many particulars. 
PHYSALIS GLABRA Benth. P. hastata Rydbg. ‘Todos Santos 
is hardly fifty miles from Cape St. Lucas, where the type of P. 
glabra was collected, and is in the same phytographical region 
below the Tropic of Cancer. Mr. Bentham describes the leaves 
of P. glabra as being sometimes hastate. Dr. Rydberg has con- 
founded the Cape Region ‘Todos Santos, with Ensenada de To- 
dos Santos near San Diego, Calif. P glabra usually grows with 
its long zigzag stems supported by bushes or fences, but is some- 
times prostrate on the sand, and is not always ‘‘glaberrima.”’ 
Lycrum CAROLINIANUM Walt. is common about San José del 
Cabo, growing in brackish depressions and salt marshes, 
Castilleia Guadalupensis. Stems frutescent, and intricately 
branched, 2-3 dm. high, glabrous, young growth tomentose, 
leaves narrowly spatulate, 1 5-18 mm. long, 2-4 mm. wide, tomen- 
tose; calyx cleft equally before and behind about one-half its
