* * * Giliceformes ; foliis pinnatisectis incisis vel 3 - 5-partitis, 

 inferioribus petiolatis alternis ; calyce basi obtuso ; corolla fere 

 hypocraterimorpha. Seminasub epidermide tenerrima spirillifera. 



6. C. gilioides, Benth. Flores subsparsi, staminibus insertione 

 minus inajqualibus. — Var. glutinosa. "Forma corolla ssepius longi- 

 ore, staminibus magis inaequaliter insertis ; ovulis raro binis. C. ylu- 

 tinosa, Benth. Gilia (AllopJtylhim) divariata, Nutt. PI. Gamb. p. 155, 

 a slender form. — These appear to be of one species. The protrusion 

 or inclusion of the stamens is probably an individual character of in- 

 cipient dimorphism, as is evidently the case in the next. — California. 



7. C. heterophylla, Hook. Navarretia heteropliylla, Benth., 

 cum syn. Flores pi. m. glomerati ; staminibus valde inasqualibus ; ovu- 

 lis in loculis 2-3. — British Columbia to California. 



§ 2. PHLOGANTHEA. Ovula in loculis plurima (6-12). 

 Filamenta quandoque declinata, turn inaequalia turn inaequaliter 

 inserta. Folia vel segmenta tenui-linearia integerrima. Thyrsi- 

 florae vel sparsiflora?, nee viscidae. Semina ut in prioribus spirilli- 

 fera. 



* Folia caulina semel pinnati-3 - 7 -partita ; corolla ad faucem 

 usque angusta. 



8. C. Cavanillesiana, Don. Biennis vel basi indurata perennis ? 

 pubescens vel puberula ; caulibus ramisve virgatis foliosis ; thyrso 

 angusto saapius racemiformi, pedunculis brevibus glomeruli-floris ; 

 corolla alba " luteo-albicante " Cav. seu purpurascente (semipolli- 

 cari), tubo calyce 2-3-plo longiore superne paullo sensim ampliato, 

 lobis oblongis ; filamentis fauci plerumque subobliquo insertis; antheris 

 rotundis ; ovulis in loculis 5-7. Phlox pinnata, Cav. Ic. 6, p. 17, 

 t. 528. Cantaci glnmeriflora, Juss. Ann. Mus. 2, p. 119. Gilia 

 glomeri flora, Benth. 1. c. G. multijlora, Nutt. pi. Gamb. — Borders of 

 W. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and adjacent parts of Mexico. 

 Doubtless (as Bentham suspects) not from Buenos Ayres, and hardly 

 yellow-flowered, although Galeotti's specimens seem to be so, and are 

 noted on the ticket: "fl. orangees." And in our district it is probably 

 more than a biennial. G. Don having referred the species to Col- 

 lomia, it may retain the new specific name imposed by him : he sup- 

 posed the ovules were solitary, and did not notice the obvious inequality 

 in the insertion of the stamens.
