Eastwood : Californian Species of Delphinium 





Delphinium Greenei sp. nov. 



Many slender fibers from a grumous root, a short distance be- 

 low the surface of the ground. Stems 3-5 dm. high, generally 

 reddish and glandular pubescent above, inclined to be glabrous 

 below, generally simple. Leaves similar to those of D. decorum, 

 the divisions always mucronate at the rounded apex and the sinus 

 between the broad divisions obtuse. Racemes less open, the ped- 

 icels shorter and the flowers smaller, frequently dull rose color 

 rather than violet blue. The inflorescence is more distichous and 

 is glandular-hairy on peduncles and pedicels. Sepals surpassing 

 the petals, shorter than the spur, this curved upwards in the bud, 

 generally straight on the open flower, lower petals with blade 

 lobed almost to the base, clothed with long hairs and having a 

 rather broad claw as long as the blade and distinctly spurred near 

 the base ; upper petals also lobed, undulate along the upper mar- 

 gin. The immature follicles are glandular-hairy and spreading.
