Nemophila from the Pacific Coast 149 



While 



late, it is distinctly salverform, though the tube is short and 

 broader at the top than at the base. 



12. Nemophila flaccida sp. nov. 



Bright green : stems weak, decumbent, much branched, almost 

 glabrous on the older parts, sparingly retrorsely hispid on the 

 younger, becoming 3 dm. or more in length : internodes 2-3 times 

 as long as the leaves, the lowest ones 6-9 cm.: leaves alternate, 

 thin, with the veins scarcely evident, variously dentate or lobed, 

 scarcely two leaves alike on the same plant; lower leaves 3-5- 

 lobed with the 3 upper lobes confluent, the 2 lower often petiolu- 

 late and with the 2 sides unequal ; upper leaves variously dentate, 

 lobed or almost entire, sessile with the general outline ovate 2 peti- 

 oles winged, dilated at base : peduncles long, capillary, spreading, 

 with the flowers nodding after anthesis, surpassing the leaves, 1-3.5 

 cm. long : divisions of the calyx triangular-subulate, extending 

 almost to the base, 4 mm. long, 1 mm. wide, veiny, glabrous on 

 the inner surface except near the base of the ovary, hispid on the 

 outer and on the margin : auricles small, acute, deflexed : corolla 

 rotate-campanulate with the tube shorter than the obovate, obtuse 

 or emarginate divisions, externally hairy : appendages attached 

 near the stamens, the free side rounding, ciliate or fringed : fila- 

 ments longer than the tube of the corolla, inserted at the base : 

 anthers oblong : ovary densely hispid above the disk at base : 

 style slender, divided to the middle, equalling or shorter than the 

 calyx : pod globular, 2-4-seeded : seeds with calyptra stipe-like, 

 corrugated, verrucose. 



This was collected by H. E. Brown near Pitt River, Shasta 

 County, May 15-18, 1897 (no. 261). A specimen collected by 

 the writer between Ukiah and Orr's Hot Springs is for the present 

 placed under this species. The material is too poor for certainty 

 but the appearance of the plants is the same. This last specimen 

 was collected by the author June 22, 1894. 



"13. Nemophila inaequalis sp. nov. 



Stems slender, weak, apparently decumbent, 3 dm. or more 

 long, retrorsely hispid with weak bristles : internodes 1-6 cm. long : 

 leaves alternate, occasionally opposite, unequal on the two sides, 

 2 -4 cm. long, 1.5 cm. wide, generally 5 -lobed on one side, 2-3- 

 lobed on the other, tapering from the lowest lobe to the broad 

 petiole which is clasping at base, generally shorter than the petiole,
