548 Piper: West AMERICAN 
from the Lemmon specimens. As the flower characters are the 
most important in separating Z. Californica and L. velutina, and 
presumably of Z. zervosa the fruit of which is unknown, one might 
justly lay stress on this element of the description. This course 
would either reduce ZL. Californica to a synonym of L. nervosa, OF 
compel its use for the other salverform-flowered segregate, L. 
velutina, 
The type range as given in the original description, however, 
points clearly to the Pringle and Brewer specimens as the type as 
only these Mt. Shasta species were before Dr. Gray. On the 
whole it has seemed to us best to retain the name L. Californica 
for this Mt. Shasta plant. We therefore designate the Pringle 
specimen as the type because it is in better condition than the 
Brewer specimen,

Echinospermum nervosum Kellogg, Proc. Calif. Acad. 2: 140. 
1862. 
Perennial, erect, leafy, 20-40 cm. high, finely appressed pubes- 
cent throughout but green: leaves 3-8 cm. long, oblong-lineat i! 
somewhat oblanceolate, acute or obtuse, the upper sessile by broa 
bases, the lower narrowed into margined petioles : panicle rather 
natrow : calyx small, 2 mm. long: corolla blue, its tube 4-5 mes 
long, much exceeding the calyx, the limb about 6 mm. in diame- 
ter: appendage quadrate, minutely pilose, the protuberance _ 
small: fruit not seen. 
An apparently authentic fragment of the type is in the = 
herbarium, labelled “ Acad, Calif. sent by E. L. Greene.” Ths 8 
matched by several specimens in the herbarium of the Californ# 
Academy of Sciences as below cited. The plant is clearly differ ent 
from L. Californica and from L. velutina, and should easily be : 
recognized by its small salverform corollas with small append- 
ages. :
