152 Eastwood : Some small-flowered Species of 



surfaces, 5 mm. long, 1-2 mm. wide : auricles subulate, strongly 

 declined, 2 mm. long : corolla open-campanulate with the divi- 

 sions longer than the tube, 8 mm. long : divisions obovate, emar- 

 ginate or obtuse at apex, 4 mm. wide : appendages consisting 

 of 2 laciniate scales attached close to the filaments by one side, 

 the apex with a few long hairs : there are a few hairs also in the 

 tube of the corolla : stamens with filaments as long as the tube 

 and inserted a little above the base : anthers oblong, cordate at 

 base : ovary densely hispid : style divided to the middle, in flower 

 shorter than the calyx : seeds 4, with cap-like calyptra The 

 calyx enlarges considerably in fruit. 



This was collected by J. W. Congdon on the Tioga Road, July 

 6, 1896. There is a specimen collected by the same botanist on 

 the Road to Hetch-Hetchy, June 7, 1897. This is without flow- 

 ers and so is uncertain. The species is named in honor of the 

 well-known botanist, its discoverer. 



17. Nemophila hispida sp. nov. 



Stems slender, erect, dichotomously branching above the base 

 and becoming decumbent, rough and hispid with fine, white, stiff 

 bristles, ribbed : internodes generally longer than the leaves, be- 

 coming 6 cm. or more : first leaves orbicular, 5 mm. wide, on 

 long petioles ; lower leaves opposite ; upper alternate, 1-4 cm. long, 

 elliptical in outline, with 7-9 divisions ; lower divisions petiolulate, 



mu 



upper surface with bristles appressed, lower with bristles more 

 spreading : petioles as long as or shorter than the blade, densely 

 hispid-ciliate, dilated and connate-clasping : peduncles as long as 

 or shorter than the leaves, retrorsely hispid, spreading but with 

 flowers nodding after anthesis : calyx with lanceolate, acute divi- 

 sions, 3 mm. long, hispid on the outside, glabrous within, some- 



what veiny : the auricles linear, *£ as long as the divisions : co- 



rolla rotate-campanulate about twice as long as the calyx, with 

 obcordate or obovate divisions, 4 mm. broad, white veined with 

 blue, as long as the tube : appendages at base short, triangular, 

 obtuse, adherent by one side with the free side pointing towards 

 the filaments and overlapping: stamens with filaments inserted at 

 the base of the corolla, about as long as the tube : anthers dark 

 brown, ovate, pointed : ovary and lower part of style densely 

 hispid, the latter branched above the middle : fruit immature. 



This was collected by the writer near the foot of the new road 



from Clear Lake to Bartlett Springs, February 15, 1900. 



The plants were young and grew to a height of 1 5 cm. with
