350 Henderson : New Plants from the Northwest 



rounded or obtusely triangular lobes, blade round to ovate in out- 

 line and more or less decurrent on the petiole : corolla equaling 

 calyx or slightly shorter : appendages of the calyx ovate, a quar- 

 ter the length of the ovate-lanceolate lobes : corolla white, 2.5 

 mm. long, the widely oblong lobes equaling the tube : stamens 

 about equaling the tube, with small cordate anthers, the filaments 

 attached from near the base to one third the way up the tube : in- 

 ternal appendages of the corolla small, narrow, attached to their 

 bases, either acuminate or delicately fimbriate at apex in the same 

 flower : style rather conspicuous and cleft to near the middle : 

 seeds 4, the strong caruncle disappearing with age, deeply pitted, 

 and with innumerable small punctures between the pits.

it differs in the short corolla, shape and attachment of internal 

 appendages, shape and size of anthers : from N. breviflora in the 

 number of seeds, smaller appendages to the calyx, equality of 

 corolla tube and lobes, shape of internal appendages, and noticeably 

 2-cleft style; from N. spathulata Coville in manifest style, pres- 

 ence of internal appendages, and round capsule.

^Nemophila Kirtleyi 



From 5-20 cm. in height, diffuse and weak ; stems leafy to 

 the top, purplish, shortly hispid below, longer hispid above, 

 the hairs strongly divergent to retrorse ; all the lower leaves op- 

 posite, the upper alternate, ovate in outline, irregularly 5 -parted 

 with oblong to ovate lobes, these latter rarely 3-lobed or strongly 

 dentate, slightly retrorse ; petioles destitute of auricles, but nar- 

 rowly winged, hispid-ciliate, as are the sepals and to a less degree 

 the petals : appendages of the calyx ovate, less than ^ the length 

 of the lobes ; these lanceolate, enlarging in fruit, nearly as long as 

 the lobes of the corolla : corolla one-half to three-quarters of an inch 

 wide, with violet border and whitish center, conspicuously green- 

 spotted near the junction with the stamens : internal appendages 

 conspicuous, half fan-shaped, attached along the greater part of 

 one side, cut into many lobes, these delicately fimbriate : stamens 

 slightly over half the length of the corolla, with anthers- oblong- 

 sagittate, retuse, 2.5 mm. long : style half as long as the sepals, 

 cleft one third the way down : peduncles slightly longer than the 

 leaves and proceeding from their axils : pod 4-ovuled, 2-4-seeded : 

 seeds oval, large, deeply pitted.
