 slightly pubescent ; leaves ovate to oblong-lanceolate, - 1 - — 1' long, acute, 

 sessile, serrate, the bracts but little smaller ; spike simple ; flowers 

 shorter than the leaves, the petals less than 1" long, deep purple; cap- 

 sules 2- 4" long, ovate-oblong, the placenta narrow and valves septifer- 

 ous ; seeds 4 - 6 in each cell, linear-lanceolate, 1" long. — From the 

 Columbia Valley to Northern Nevada. 



Doubtful Species. 



CE. paludosa, Featherman, Bot. Rep. of Louisiana University, 

 1870, p. 74. This is probably some well-known plant; but if an 

 (Enothera, the species is not recognizable from the description, which 

 is much like Rafinesque's account of CE. alata, Fl. Lud., p. 95, like- 

 wise reported from Louisiana, and not identified. The somewhat 

 winged stems, globose stigma, habitat, etc., would indicate species of 

 Jussicea.
