upper part foliaceous. Corolla with the slender exserted part 
of the tube as long as the calyx, throat funnel form, bordef almost 
equally 5-lobed, about 1 cm. in diameter, crimson with the three 
ower lobes deeper crimson at base and mottled with white and 
yellow deep in the throat. Stamens equally inserted in two pairs 
with glabrous filaments and minutely tuberculate anthers; the 
longer pair with anthers connivent and forming a cross, the cells 
of each part confluent at apex; the lower with but one anther 
fertile. Style hairy. Stigma purple, bilamellar, the upper part 
ovate-acuminate, 2 mm. long, ciliate, papillose on one side, hairy 
on the other; the lower part triangular, minute, scale-like. Cap- 
sule 5-6 mm. long, sulcate on the valves, with a wing-like ridge 
down one side where it is gibbous at the base, obliquely ovate, 
acute. Seeds (immature) oblong, tuberculate, numerous. 
This undoubtedly belongs to § Hunanus but differs from any 
other that has been described. 
It was collected on the old Bolinas Trail on Mount Tamalpais, 
March 18, 1900. It monopolized the ground for a few square 
yards not far from the top of the ridge, where the ground was 
dry and hard as if it contained clay. Two years ago the writer 
found a single specimen of the same A/mu/lus on the Bolinas 
Road, not far from Fairfax. - 
Aphyilon violaceum., Stems 6 cm. underground, one to 
many from a fleshy rootstock from 5-15 mm. in diameter; 
scales deltoid. Entire plant glandular viscid even to the corolla. 
Flowers crowded in corymbs blooming from the ground or below 
and 3-4 cm. high. Pedicels thick, 2-5 cm. long; bracts linear, 
close to the calyx. Calyx dull violet unequally divided almost 
to the base, with the divisions 1 cm. long, 1-nerved almost sub-

stipitate glands. Corolla dark violet, veiny with tube twice as 
long as the calyx, curving outwards, ringent; upper lip 12-15 
mm. long, 10-12 mm. wide, with the lobes almost half the entire 
length, 5 mm. broad, acute or obtuse; sinus separating the lobes 
-obtuse. Lower lip 3-cleft to the throat with widely separated 
divisions, oblong-ovate, acuminate, 12-13 mm. long, 5 mm. broad;
