trate, only the spicate ends assurgent.’’ The plant in Montana 
from which the seeds were gathered was, however, according to 
the collector, entirely erect. 
Godetta micropetala Greene is G. guadrivulnera (Dougl.) with 
depauperate corolla. Mr. Greene in Flora Franciscana says: 
“ spike rather short,’’ but his type shows it to be nearly a foot 
long with remote flowers. 
G. pulcherrima Greene is what has been known as G. Botte 
Spach. Mr. Greene finds it quite different in color from typical 
@. Bottz, but fails to explain how he came by his exact knowl- 
edge of the coloring of @, Botte. It is indeed too probable 
that a part of the southern @. Botte as received, belongs to 
@. amena V,ilj. and the remainder to GZ. dzloba Wats. CG. 
pulcherrima Greene is very common, ranging from Lake County 
to San Diego. It is not distinguishable by any character from 
entire-petaled forms of @. éz/oba and shares with it a somewhat 
inconstant character—the purple or lilac sepals—which is the 
most striking difference readily observable between forms of @. 
amena, and these others. 
Godetia purpurea Wats. of which Mr. Greene writes: ‘‘ Mr. 
Watson attributes to this species two rows of seeds in each cell of 
the capsule. No such plant has been recognized by the present 
writer,” is not uncommon in the Sacramento Valley. Mr. 
Greene will find it if he looks along the trenches by the side of 
the railway near Elmira. The character ‘‘ two rows of seeds in 
each cell’’ is probably as inconstant as the pedicel of the amena 
group. Specimens of what Mr. Greene would probably call G. 
rubicunda collected near Sonoma by John ceca show two 
rows in their very large capsules. 
Stum heterophyllum Greene is probably not a native species, 
Selinum eryngiifolium Greene is a common form of 5S. capi- 
tellatum B. & H. with rather more dissected foliage. 
Galium buxifolium* Greene is G. Catalinense Gray. 
Galium flaccidum Greene is G. Californicum F. & M. 
Galium Miguelense Greene is G. Nuttallii Gray.
