212 NORTH AMERICAN FLORA [VoLUME 22 
Ovary glabrous, except for the presence, rarely, of gland- 
tipped hairs. (DIVARICATAE.) 
Sepals purple or sometimes green, 2-4 times the length 
of the hypanthium ; stamens plainly exceeding 
the extended sepals. 
Leaves usually rounded at the base, and 3-lobed, 
and as long or longer than broad, minutely pubes- 
cent above, the hairs very short and curled, and 
most abundant along and near the veins; nodal 
spines inconspicuous, seldom more than 5 mm. 
long; bhypanthium and sepals together about 
5-6 mm. long in the dried flower. 35. G. rotundifolia. 
Leaves usually truncate or somewhat cordate atthe 
base, and 5-lobed, and broader than long, the 
upper surface provided with rather long and 
straight, usually sparse, hairs; nodal spines 
abundant, very large and stout, commonly 1 
em. or more in length; hypanthium and sepals 
together 6-8 mm. long in the dried flower. 36. G. divaricata. 
Sepals green or sometimes purplish, 1-2 times the 
length of the hypanthium; stamens equaling 
or shorter than the extended sepals (in G. hir- 
tella, a species of the eastern United States, some- 
times exceeding the sepals). 
Leaf-blades truncate to somewhat cordate at the 
base; species of the Rocky Mountains and 
westward. 
Hypanthium and sepals together 8-10 mm. long, 
purplish ; petals red; anthers1 mm.long. 37. G. Parishii. 
Hypanthium and sepals together 5-7 mm. long, 
green, the sepals rarely purplish; petals 
white ; anthers about 0.5 mm. long. 
Leaf-blades smooth on both surfaces, or in 
Rocky Mountain specimens sometimes vil- 
lous, but in the latter case provided with 
the peculiar glands of the Sedosae ; hypan- 
thium and sepals smooth; mature berry 
dark wine-colored when fresh. 38. G. inermis. 
Leaf-blades villous on both surfaces, not 
glandular; bypanthium and sepals usu- 
ally hirsute on the outside; berry black. 39. G. klamathensis. 
Leaf-blades wedge-shaped at the base, except on an 
occasional aberrant plant; species east of the 
Rocky Mountains. 40. G. hirtella.

10 mm. long, about equaled by the petals; filaments much exserted, 2-4 times as long 
as the sepals; anthers oval, about 1 mm. long; berry glandular-bristly.
