New Species of Nemophila from the Pacific Coast 
By ALice Eastwoop 
(WITH PLATE 21) 
/ Nemophila Brandegei sp. nov. 
Stems branching, erect, sparingly retrorsely pubescent. Leaves 
generally 5-lobed, with rounded, entire or occasionally lobed, 
mucronate divisions, clothed with appressed pubescence, denser 
and finer on the lower surface, somewhat pustulate on the upper ; 
petioles broad, dilated at base, ciliate on the margins especially at 
the base, about as long as the blade: peduncles 3-5 times as 
long as the leaves, erect in flower, recurved spreading later : calyx 
7 mm. long, with lanceolate-subulate acute divisions extending 
almost to the base ; auricles narrowly linear, about half as long as 
the divisions of the calyx : corolla 3.5 cm. across, blue with dotted 
lines in the throat, paler at base ; tube hairy within, destitute of ap- 
pendages but with a double line of fine hairs between each filament : 
divisions obcordate, almost twice as long as the tube : filaments as 
long as the tube: anthers ovate-acuminate, dark brown: style di- 
vided almost to the middle, hairy below the lobes ; ovary sparingly 
hairy: no fruit. (PL 27, f ¥) 
This was collected near Japato, Fresno county, California, by 
mc... S, Brandegee, March 26, 1893. This is one of the largest 
flowered species of Vemophila and in general appearance approaches 
NV. insignis. The general habit of the plant, the much larger flow- 
ers, the difference in the inner part of the corolla tube all mark it 
as a distinct species. It is with pleasure that I name it in honor 
of Mr. Brandegee who has done so much for the herbarium of the 
California Academy of Sciences and for the Botany of the Pacific 
Coast, 
There are two forms on the same sheet, one much more luxuri- 
ant than the other. The flowers in both are similar, though those 
of the larger specimen may be a little larger. This specimen is 
not complete, so the others have been taken as the type. 
¥ Nemophila macrocarpa sp. nov. 
Stems long, decumbent, weak, branching, more than 30 cm. 
long, r ibbed, glabrate near the base, retrorsely pubescent above ; 
internodes generally exceeding the leaves: leaves 3-5 lobed, with
