22. Nemophila glauca sp. nov. 



Stems branching from the base and above with spreading 

 branches, rather stout, 2 mm. in diameter, pale glaucous, hispid 

 with appressed hairs, somewhat angled : internodes on the lower 

 stems longer than the leaves, on the upper shorter, 1-5 cm. long : 

 leaves opposite: lower leaves with the apical division 2-3-lobed 

 or entire, the 4 lower suborbicular, petiolulate, oval in outline, 

 1-2 cm. long, 1— 1 . 5 cm. wide ; upper leaves less divided and with 

 divisions more approximate, almost sessile : petioles on the lower 

 leaves as long as the blade, connate-clasping at the base : the up- 

 per leaves and flowers form clusters at the ends of the branches, 

 the internodes probably elongating later : flowers from the lowest 

 axils of the branches, on long, slender, erect or horizontally 

 spreading peduncles which are as long as or shorter than the 

 leaves : calyx with triangular-subulate divisions, hairy on both 

 surfaces, with linear auricles half as long as the sepals : corolla 

 white, rotate-campanulate, 5 mm. long, with broad obovate divi- 

 sions nearly 4 mm. wide and hairy on the outside : appendages at- 

 tached by one side, the freed edge somewhat laciniate : stamens 

 with the filaments inserted on the base of the corolla, longer than 

 the tube : ovary hairy above the middle, ovoid : style divided half 

 way with spreading lobes : capsule not ripe. 



This was collected by Mrs. C. C. Bruce on Big Chico, Butte

above with erect or spreading branches, glaucous, hispid with 

 fine, retrorsely spreading bristles, ribbed ; lower internodes about 

 twice as long as the leaves, about 6 cm : lower leaves ovate in 

 outline, with 5-7 divisions : these petiolulate, orbicular, entire or 

 2-3-lobed; upper leaves much smaller, 2-3-lobed, aggregated 

 with the flowers at the ends of the branches : petioles equal or 

 shorter than the blades, hispid ciliate, dilated and clasping at base : 

 flowers white, on slender axillary peduncles from almost the 

 lowest axils : peduncles shorter than the leaves, at first erect, later 

 spreading with the flowers nodding : sepals thin, veiny, hispid on 

 both surfaces, lanceolate, 3 mm. long : auricles ovate, 1 mm. long, 

 deflexed spreading : corolla rotate-campanulate, with the divi- 

 sions twice as long as the tube, together about 5 mm. long, hairy
