vor. 5] New Species of California Plants. — 89 
mm. long, 10 mm. wide, ovate-acuminate in outline. Flowers 
in dense globular heads terminating the branchlets, those on the 
main stem largest and often consisting of several heads together. 
Bracts surpassing the flowers, bipinnatifid, with stiff, spreading 
filiform, spinulose divisions, the dilated rhachis and lower divi- 
sions clothed with long, white, jointed hairs, the upper divisions 
sparingly stipitate glandular, calyx with two divisions pinnatifid, 
filiform, spinulose, almost equaling the corolla, the other three 
half as long, subulate spinulose, with pubescence similar to that 
of the bracts; calyx tube white, equaling the divisions strongly 
ribbed, with membranous folds between the ribs. Corolla yellow 
with brown spots in the throat; tube filiform, 7 mm. long, some- 
what stipitate-glandular; throat funnel-form spreading campanu- 
lately to the oblong divisions 2.5 mm. long, 1.5 mm. wide. 
Stamens scarcely exserted, filaments unequal, inserted high in 
the throat of the corolla. Pistil with style 2-cleft at apex, 
stigmas capitate, not extending to the line of insertion of the 
stamens. Capsule obovate, mucronate, upper part thicker than 
the membranous lower half, 2 mm. long, 1.25 mm. wide; loculi 
2; seeds 8 or by abortion fewer, brown, irregularly angled, with 
the angles pale brown. 
This belongs to the same group as Navarretia cotulefolia H. 
& A. It is easily distinguished from the other members of the 
group by the yellow corolla spotted with brown. There is no 
noticeable odor about the dried plants as is often the case with 
other species of the group. 
It was collected by Mr. L. Jared at Goodwin, San Luis Obispo 
County, February, 1896. 
Navarretia Jaredi. Slender annual, about 7 cm. high, 
branching from the base or along the main stem, sparingly 
cinereous-tomentose, the upper leaves, bracts and calyx clothed 
with gland-tipped hairs. Leaves 15-20 mm. long, simply 
pinnatifid with narrow linear divisions diminishing downwards 
to the leaf axil or with the upper part laciniately cleft, the 
divisions all spinulose. Bracts carinate, with a strong mid-nerve, 
pinnately 5 to 9-cleft with spinulose divisions, the involucrate 
bracts surpassing the flowers, the inner ones surpassing the calyx.
