458 Nasu: REVISION OF THE FAMILY FOUQUIERIACEAE 
the apex of the trunk, the flowers rather crowded and almost ses- 
sile upon the ultimate divisions of the panicle, Corolla yellow, 
campanulate, the lobes orbicular, concave, incurved, shorter than 
the tube. Stamens 10, adnate at the very base to the corolla- 
tube: filaments pubescent below. Styles short, thick, united 
their entire length, but little longer than the ovary, forming a stout 
3-angled body, the angles rounded. 
Species one; Lower California.

Fouquiera gigantea Orcutt, West Am. Sci. 2: 48. 1886. 
A tall tree with a tapering trunk up to 3-4 m. in height or 
even taller, and a diameter at the base of about 3 dm. or more, 
from which arise the short spreading spiny and leafy branches. 
Leaves of the new growth unknown : fascicled leaves 1.5—2 cm. long 
and 5-8 mm. wide, oblanceolate to narrowly obovate : panicles 
3 4 dm. long, flowers rather crowded and nearly sessile upon the 
ultimate divisions : flowers, including the exserted stamens, 12-14 
mm. long: sepals orbicular, about 4 mm. long: corolla yellow, 
6-7 mm. long: stamens exserted, the filaments pubescent below, 
the anthers about 3 mm. long: styles about 2 mm. long, thick. 
Lower California. 
Specimens examined. — Rosalia Bay, Anthony 120, July to 
October, 1896. 
Originally collected by Dr. Veatch near the Bay of Sebastian 
Viscaino, on the mainland east of Cedros Island. The tree was 
described by Dr. Kellogg as spineless, but this must have been an 
error, as others who have visited the same region remark upon the 
long spines which are found on the short branches arising from 
the trunk. Moreover, a specimen in the herbarium of the New 
York Botanical Garden, collected by Anthony at Rosalia Bay, 
but a few miles north of the original station, shows these spine- 
bearing branches, the spines being similar to those occurring in 
the other members of this family. Dr. Kellogg describes the 
trunk as undivided, while Orcutt, in the description of his 
Fouquiera gigantea, states that the trunk branches above the 
middle, sending up a few simple branches to nearly the height of 
the main stem. Brandegee, in his account of a collection of plants
