Eastwoop: New Species of NEMOPHILA 473 
Nemophila diversifolia sp. nov. 
Stems decumbent, 15 cm. high, branched from the base and 
above, with slender, weak, angled stems, canescently hirsute with 
fine white spreading hairs; lowest leaves opposite, with generally 
five petiolulate, 2~3-parted divisions, the ultimate lobes rounded 
and obtuse; upper leaves lobed, generally unequal, 1-3 lobes 
on one side, three or none on the other, cuneate at base, tapering 
to a short petiole: flowers on slender peduncles which are shorter 
than the leaves, generally recurving in fruit: divisions of the 
calyx oblong-linear, acute, appressed hairy on both sides, mar- 
gined by long and short cilia; auricles short, narrow: corolla 
open-campanulate, 3 mm. long, lobed half way with obtuse, 
orbicular divisions, 2.5 cm. wide; appendages at base triangular- 
attenuate, overlapping: filaments as long as the corolla tube: 
anthers linear-oblong: style divided one-third, lower part hairy: 
ovary globular, clothed with spreading hairs: capsule purple- 
spotted on lower part, flattened-globular: seeds immature. (7. 
27,f. 4.) 
This belongs to *Section V. in the groups of small-flowered 
Nemophila, though the lower leaves are those of Section VI. It 
is nearest to WV. inaequalis Eastwood. It was collected by Mr. 
J. G. Congdon below Mormon Bar, Mariposa county, May 28, 
1901. The type is in the Herbarium of the California Academy 
of Sciences. 
’ Nemophila decumbens sp. nov. 
Stems many from the base, branching dichotomously above with 
numerous weak branches, decumbent or supported on other 
Plants, clothed with few fine recurved bristles ; internodes about 
as long as the alternate leaves : leaves thin, variously lobed and 
divided, scarcely two alike ; the lowest with petiolulate orbicular 
divisions : the uppermost oblanceolate, entire ; the others 2-5- 
lobed with the lobes generally broad, mucronate at apex, all cin- 
£reous with upwardly appressed hairs: petioles of lower leaves 
wing-margined, shorter than the blades; upper leaves almost 
Sessile : peduncles capillary, becoming recurved : upper ones longer 
than the subtending leaves, lower ones shorter: calyx with thin, 
vemy divisions 3.5 mm. long, 1.5 mm. wide, hispid externally, and 
slightly so on the inside near the apex, the bristles on the margins 
rather short: auricles short, acute, deeper green than the sepals : 
corolla Totate-campanulate, white with purple dots in lines ; divi- 
sions broad, obovate, retuse, as long as the tube, thin hispid ex-
