distributed, ovate or broadly lanceolate, the upper subacute 
and serrate, the lower blunter and finely denticulate or 
nearly entire, very abruptly rounded to the sessile base ; 
flowers few, erect or somewhat nodding; petals white or 
lavender, about 5 mm. long; capsules ascending, 30 mm. 
long, on very slender peduncles of more than half their 
length, soon glabrous; seeds often very rough, short-beaked, 
.5 x 1.5 mm.; coma rather scant, white. —San Bernardino 
county, California (Parish, 1882, no. 1619) to Washington 
(Suksdorf, 1880, 372). A specimen from the Snake 
River (Hayden, June 15, 1860) also appears to go here. —

Var. SUBFALCATUM. — Lower but often branched below, 
almost without decurrent lines, densely tomentose or pilose 
to the glandular shorter inflorescence; leaves narrower, 
sometimes falcate, entire or remotely and inconspicuously 
denticulate, mostly obtuse, more cuneate at base, more 
tomentose, and with inconspicuous lateral veins; capsules 
at first very short stalked. — California (Gray, 1872; Mrs. 
Austin, 1877; Pringle, 1882) to Oregon (Howell, 1887, 
no. 694).— This bears the same relation to ursinum that 
the var. ¢enue does to delicatum. — Plate 32. 
27. E. Hatieanum, Hausskn.— Tall and slender, glan- 
dular-puberulent throughout or soon glabrous below; leaves 
remote, mostly ascending, 20 to 30 mm. long, ovate- or 
oblong-lanceolate, the lower obtuse, decidedly undulate- 
serrulate, abruptly sessile or some of them clasping- 
decurrent by the broad base; flowers and capsules ultimately 
rather remote in the upper axils; petals 5 to 6 mm. long, 
pale to mostly rather deep violet; capsules about 50 mm., on 
slender peduncles of nearly equal length and exceeding the 
subtending leaves; seeds sometimes smooth, usually very 
finely papillate, .4 to .6x 1.5 to 1.7 mm., fusiform, blunt 
at base, with gradually narrowed pale apex and hyaline 
beak ; coma scarcely dingy. — Monogr. 261. — Vancouver
