t t Capsules pedicelled, not costate ; stigmas mostly yellow ; calyx- 

 tips not free in the bud (or very rarely in CE. amoena). 



61. CE. amcena, Lehrn. Usually slender, erect, 1-2° high, mi- 

 nutely puberulent ; leaves linear to narrowly oblanceolate, or sometimes 

 lanceolate, 1-3' long, petioled, entire or nearly so ; calyx-tube obconic, 

 2 - 4" long ; petals 8 - 15" long, frequently rather villous, as also the pur- 

 ple anthers, varying from nearly white to rose-color, with more or less of 

 purple ; filaments rather stout ; stigma-lobes linear, 11" long, yellow ; 

 capsules 1 — 1^' long, attenuate to a slender beak above and into the 

 pedicel below, which is 2 - 6" long. — From Vancouver's Island and 

 Fraser's Kiver to San Francisco and southward. 



62. CE. Bottle, Torr. & Gray. Erect or subdecumbent at base, 

 1 - lh° high, usually branched, canescently puberulent or more or less 

 glabrous ; leaves narrowly linear to lanceolate, 1-2' long, on slender 

 petioles, sparingly repand-dentate or entire ; calyx-tube short ; petals 

 6-12" long, light purple; filaments usually slender, and style' elon- 

 gated ; stigma-lobes short, yellow or purple ; capsule 10 - 15" long, 

 attenuate at each end, the pedicel 3 - 9" long. — Southern California, 

 from Monterey to San Diego and Santa Barbara. 



63. CE. epilobioides, Nutt. Erect, 1-3° high, tomentosely pu- 

 berulent ; leaves linear to linear-lanceolate, 1-2' long, petioled, entire 

 or sparingly denticulate ; calyx-tube 1 - 2" long ; petals 3 - 6" long, 

 light purple or rose-color ; stigma-lobes short ; capsule 6 - 41" long, 

 acuminate, attenuate to a short pedicel, or rarely nearly sessile. — Ap- 

 parently common, especially on the flanks of the Sierra, from Oregon 

 to the Stanislaus River, and San Diego (Nuttall ; Thurber) ; also in 

 Nevada near Carson City (Anderson ; Stretch). Nuttall's original 

 specimens are small and immature, but the stigma is plainly lobed, as 

 also appears from the description, and there can be no doubt of the 

 identity of the species. 



64. CE. hispidula. Erect, |-1° high, mostly simple and often 

 but 1 -flowered, hispidly puberulent, especially above ; leaves very nar- 

 rowly linear, 1-2' long ; calyx-tube 2 - 3" long ; petals 6-12" long, 

 purple ; filaments rather slender ; style elongated and stigma-lobes lin- 

 ear ; capsule 4-9" long, attenuate at the apex, abruptly contracted 

 into a pedicel 2 - 4" long. — Sacramento and Tulare Valleys, collected 

 by Fremont, Pratten, and Rattan. 



65. CE. biloba, Durand. Erect, 1° high or more (procumbent in 

 cultivation), subcanescently and minutely puberulent ; leaves nearly
