138 POLEMOXIACE.E. Cilia. 



corolla purplish with yellow throat or nearly white, broadly short-funnelform, 2 lines or 

 more long ; the obovate lobes equalling or longer than the campanulate throat and short 

 proper tube : filaments nearly glabrous at base, inserted below the sinuses : ovules 3 to 5 

 in each cell. Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c. The proper species, with corolla barely 

 exceeding the calyx, Guadalupe Island and Lower California, Palmer, Orcutt, &c. (Chili.) 



Var. Californica, Gray, 1. c. Corolla with larger lobes, 2 or 3 lines long, and 

 twice the length of the calyx. Bot. Calif, i. 490. G.Jilipes, Beuth. PI. Hartw. 325. 

 California to Oregon. 



G. Bolanderi, Gray, I.e. Like the variety of the foregoing; but the tube of the 

 (blue- or purple-tinged) corolla long and narrow, almost equalling the narrow cylindra- 

 ceous calyx-tube, rather longer than the oblong lobes along with the very short and slightly 

 dilated throat: filaments inserted just below the sinuses, glabrous : ovules 2 to 5 in each 

 cell. California, on dry hills, Sonoma Co., to the Sierra Nevada, Bolandcr, A. Wood, Mrs. 

 Austin, Mrs. Ames. Corolla 3 or 4 lines long, but the comparatively small lobes only aline 

 and a half long. Longer pedicels an inch or so in length. 



G. aurea, Nutt. Diffusely branched, 2 to 4 inches high : divisions of the hispidulous 

 leaves narrowly linear, barely 3 lines long : pedicels seldom longer than the flower, some- 

 what cymose : corolla mostly yellow, open and short-funnelform ; the rounded obovate 

 widely spreading lobes about as long as the obconical throat and the very short proper 

 tube: filaments inserted just below the sinuses, glabrous at base: ovules about 10 in each 

 cell. PI. Gainb. 155, t. 22; Gray, 1. c. From Sta. Barbara, California, to Arizona and 

 New Mexico. Corolla with the limb a third to half inch in diameter when fully expanded, 

 bright or light yellow, sometimes purplish in the throat ; or, in 



Var. decora, Gray, 1. c., white or pale violet, with or without brown-purple in the 

 throat. California (Fremont, Brewer, c.) and through Arizona to New Mexico. 



* * * Flowers terminating the branches, rather short-pedicelled : corolla short-funnelform, its 

 ample lobes fringe-toothed or denticulate: leaves all undivided and opposite. Fenzlii, Bentli. 

 Gllia Dianthoides, Endl. 



G. dianthoides, Endl. Branching from the base, 2 to 5 inches high, more or less 

 pubescent : leaves narrow-linear : corolla an inch or more long, lilac or purplish usually 

 with darker or yellowish throat ; the slender nearly included glabrous filaments inserted 

 towards its base: ovules 12 to 20 in each cell. Atakt. t. 29; Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 4870. 

 Fendia dianthi flora, Benth. in Bot. Reg. 1. c. F. spcciosa (a large-flowered form), F. 

 concinna (a depauperate state), Xutt. Gamb. 157. California, from Santa Barbara and the 

 islands southward. A showy little plant, varying greatly in the size and hue of the flowers ; 

 the corolla-lobes in one form (coll. Coulter) only minutely erose-denticulate. 



2. LINANTIIUS, Endl., Benth. Corolla salverform ; the narrow tube about 

 equalling the cylindrical tube of the calyx (which is white-scanous, except the 

 ribs, prolonged into acerose-linear teeth) ; the broadly cuneate-obovate lobes com- 

 monly minutely or obsoletely erose or crenulate, strongly convolute in the bud : 

 stamens included in the tube of the corolla : filaments inserted below its middle, 

 slender: ovules 20 to 40 in each cell: capsule cylindraceous or oblong: erect and 

 slender glabrous annuals, about a span high or taller, with leaves all opposite, 

 filiform or nearly so, 3-5-divided, or the lower simple, sometimes nearly all 

 simple, especially in depauperate specimens : flowers mostly showy, white or 

 nearly so, terminal or in the forks and subsessile. Linanthus, Benth., formerly. 



G. dichotoma, Benth. Flowers showy ; the lobes of the corolla from half to nearly 

 an inch long: anthers linear: seeds roundish, with a very loose arilliform external coat, 

 not developing mucilage when wetted. DC. 1. c. 314; Gray, 1. c. Linanthus dic/iotomus, 

 Benth. in Bot. Beg. I.e. Cilia Linanthus, Steud. Nom. California and Arizona; common 

 westward. Leaves all entire only in some depauperate specimens. 



G. Bigelovii, Gray. Flowers inconspicuous ; the lobes of the corolla not over 2 lines 

 long, hardly surpassing those of the calyx and only half or one-third the length of its tube: 

 anthers oval: seeds oval or oblong, with a close coat, freely developing mucilage when 

 wetted. Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c. 265; Watson, Bot. King, t. 25. G. dichotoma, var. parvi- 

 flora, Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. 147. W. borders of Texas to E. California.
