Nemophila from the Pacific Coast 145 



with the divisions triangular-subulte, not quite 3 mm. long, a lit- 

 tle more than 3 mm. wide, hairy on both surfaces, more densely 

 so on the outer : auricles linear-subulate, 1 mm. long, deflexed, 

 corolla blue, tubular-campanulate, 4 mm. long, the obovate divi- 

 sions as long as the tube, hairy on the outside and with a double 

 row of hairs between the filaments on the inside : stamens inserted 

 at the base, filaments equalling the tube, anthers ovate-oblong : 

 ovary hispid on the upper part : style short, I mm. long, divided 

 less than half way, hairy below the forks : seeds 3 or 4, verrucose- 

 corrugated : caruncle covered with a shallow deciduous calyptra. 



This was collected by the writer at Bearskin Meadows on the 

 trail from Millwood to Kings River Canon, July 1, 1899. 



It appears to be near N. spatulata Coville of which no specimen 

 is available for comparison. It is apparently not the same, since 

 N. spatulata is described as without appendages on the tube of the 

 corolla and with sessile stigmas.

7. Nemophila pustulata sp. nov. 



Stem branching from the base, apparently somewhat fleshy, 

 ascending or erect, angled, hispid with retrose bristles which are 

 minutely pustulate at base : internodes 2-3 times as long as the 

 leaves, 1-3 cm. : leaves opposite, broadly oval or ovate in outline, 

 with 5 divisions, the 3 upper confluent, the 2 lower cut almost to 

 the base : petioles of lower leaves longer than the blades ; up- 

 per shorter, both connate-clasping at the dilated base ; divisions 

 oval, sometimes dentate, usually entire, mucronulate : peduncles 

 shorter than the leaves, but elongating after anthesis and deflexed : 

 calyx very hispid on the outer side, less so on the inner near the 

 apex : divisions triangular-subulate, 2 mm. long, 5 mm. wide at 

 base : auricles small, strongly spreading deflexed : corolla tubu- 

 lar-campanulate, 4 mm. long, with retuse divisions a little shorter 

 than the tube, hairy on the outside and slightly ciliate at the apex ; 

 appendages at base attached by the short side near the filaments, 

 the free part subulate with some hairs at apex : stamens with fila- 

 ments as long as the tube inserted above the base : anthers small, 

 heart-shaped : ovary densely hispid : style divided about half 

 way : seeds and fruits not seen. 



This is very near N. micrantha and may prove to be only a 

 form of that species. The plants from which the description is 

 drawn are young and the differences in habit may be due only to 

 the immaturity. The leaves are more regular and the appendages 

 on the corolla tube dissimilar. The pubescence of the entire
