in the centre ; stigma-lobes short, oblong, yellow ; capsules linear- 

 fusiform, y long, tapering from above the base to the apex, furrowed 

 over the sutures, and therefore 8-costate, puberulent. — Collected by 

 Bridges, Heermann, and Rattan, probably on the western flank of the 

 Sierra, from Fort Miller northward. 



57. CE. quadrivulnera, Dougl. Usually very slender, erect or 

 ascending, 1-2° high, puberulent ; leaves linear to linear-lanceolate, 

 1—2' long, sessile or attenuate to a short petiole, entire or slightly 

 repand-denticulate ; calyx-tube obconic, 2" (rarely 3") long, the tips 

 slightly free ; petals 3 - 6" long, deep purple or purplish ; stigma-lobes 

 very short, yellow ; ovary and capsule hairy, the capsule linear, 5-10" 

 long, mostly short, attenuate at the apex, scarcely so at base, the sides 

 nearly flat, or channelled by the prominence of the sutures. — From 

 Puget Sound to San Luis Obispo. 



58. CE. tenella, Cav. Erect, 6-18' high, puberulent; leaves 

 linear, £ - 2' long, acute or obtuse, more or less attenuate at base, 

 mostly entire ; calyx-tube shortly obconic, 1 - 3" long, the tips close or 

 slightly free ; petals 3 - h" long, deep purple ; stigma-lobes purple or 

 purplish, the style shorter than the stamens ; capsules puberulent, 

 8-12" long, attenuate above but not at base, the sides nearly flat. — 

 From Oregon to San Diego. No. 638 Brewer, from Monterey, seems 

 to be a reduced decumbent form. The Californian plant is apparently 

 identical with Chilian specimens collected by Gay, Bertero (469), 

 Harvey, and Gillies. 



59. CE. viminea, Dougl. Near the last. Usually stout, 1-3° high, 

 branched, spreading-puberulent ; leaves linear to linear-lanceolate, .1 - 2' 

 long, narrowed at the base, entire ; calyx-tube 2 - 4" long, the tips 

 slightly free ; petals 9-12" long, deep purple or purplish ; capsule 9" 

 long, 8-costate, smoothish. — From the Columbia River to the Sacra- 

 mento, and in the mountains to the Yosemite Valley. 



60. CE. Romanzovii, Ledeb. Rather stout, ascending or subdecum- 

 bent, 1|° high, leafy to the top, canescently puberulent, the ovary very 

 silky ; leaves oblanceolate, 1 - 2' long, petioled, entire or very obscurely 

 repand-denticulate ; calyx-tube very short, segments short, the tips not 

 free in the bud ; petals 6" long, purple ; filaments stout, the shorter sta- 

 mens with nearly sessile anthers ; stigmas not exserted beyond the ca- 

 lyx-tube ; capsule 8 - 9" long, attenuate at each end, sessile or slightly 

 pedicelled, the sides channelled between the prominent sutures. — Only 

 known from cultivated specimens, originally from seeds collected by 

 Chamisso on the " Northwest Coast."
