than 15 mm. long, somewhat crowded at base, alternate 
and remote above, linear or oblong, obtuse, remotely 
denticulate, sessile, l-nerved; flowers pale, not very 
numerous, nodding ; capsules erect, 40 mm., on long slender 
peduncles; seeds .4x1.5 mm.; coma white. —Hornem.

++ ++ Coarser, branched plants, of the habit of EZ. coloratum: stems with 
rather prominent ridges decurrent from some of the leaves (or these 
more or less evanescent in holosericeum): leaves usually ample, com- 
monly toothed, and with evident lateral veins: capsules 40 to 50 mm. 
long: seeds mostly broadly obovoid, short-beaked, sharply papillate in 
rather distinct longitudinal lines, (finely papillate in holosericeum, 
nearly obconical and beakless in coloratum, and more fusiform in 
Fendleri). 
COE. EP Mts tan ee a 
: = Large flowered for the group, with rather deep violet petals 6 to 10 
’ mm. long: hairs within calyx-tube well developed: leaves mainly 
opposite, 25 to 50 mm. long. — Two Species closely related to E. 
adenocauion, 
13. E, Franciscanum, Barbey. — A span to mostly a 
foot or two high, the larger forms much branched, glabrate 
below, subcanescent or more or less pilose above; leaves 
elliptical-lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, with rather 
numerous and prominent serrations, rounded to the very 
short and broad petioles, the uppermost frequently pilose 
along the midrib, etc.; flowers at first crowded, scarcely 
exceeding the somewhat reduced leaves clustered at end of 
branches ; seeds broad, very hyaline-papillate, .4 to .5 x 1 
mm., the short beak also more or less papillate ; coma some- 
times tawny. — Brewer & Watson, Bot. Calif. i. (1876),
