the opposite is the case; the ovules are much more numerous in 
this species, and shaped differently. ; 
The plants were collected at Hatch’s Wash, in southeastern 
Utah, between Moab and Monticello, on May 29, 1892. They 
were abundant in a limited area, on sandy knolls formed by the 
accumulated sand that had been washed down from the basin” 
like sides of the shallow cafion, and were not met with at any 
other place. 
96. PuHLox NANA. Growing at the base of a cliff between 
Hatch’s Wash and Monticello. 
97. PHACELIA NUDICAULIS 0. sp. Annual, low, and almost 
prostrate, stems several (4-7) from the root, naked to the inflor- 
escence, nodes 1-2 cm. long, internodes shorter; glandular and 
hirsute, with short, white bristles; leaves thick, orbicular, or 
broadly ovate, abruptly tapering to the petiole, blade about 1 cm. 
long by not quite so broad, petiole equalling or surpassing it in 
length, margins slightly undulate and revolute; radical leaves 
few; cauline, crowded at the ends of the branches, surrounding 
and almost hiding the flowers, which are solitary in the forks of 
the branches or in few flowered spikes which are cymosely 
arranged; sepals linear-spatulate, united at base, spreading, and 
surpassing the capsule; corolla 3 to 5 mm. long, surpassing the 
immature calyx, violet, tubular funnel-form, with rounding lobes 
acute or obtuse, hairy on the outside but smooth within, the folds 
at the base linear and attached to the stamens; filaments smooth, 
equally inserted, but of unequal lengths; style cleft half-way 
down, with capitate stigmas, hairy to the forks; capsule blunt, 
hairy; seeds about 16, oblong, pitted, variable in thickness, from 
flat to lens-shaped, probably modified by the pressure from each 
other in the crowded cells. 
This desert Phacelia was collected on the road from Phoikip: 
son’s Springs to Moab, May 24, 1892. It grew ona flat, adobe 
desert with Cleomella plocasperma (?), and was abundant 
over a very limited area. It most nearly approaches P. cephalotes 
Gray, from which, however, it is quite distinct. 
98. PHACELIA CEPHALOTES Gray. This presents some very 
interesting variations in the style branches. In some flowers it
