CLEVELANDIA. Scrophularineartim. 



Calyx tubular-campanulate, 4-cleft. Tube of corolla slen- 

 der; limb bilabiate, upper lip short, spreading, bifid, lower 

 with three spreading lobes, neither saccate nor plicate. 

 Stamens 4, didynamous, wholly included within the corolla- 

 tube; anthers 2 -celled, the cells unequal. Style filiform, 

 stigma entire. Capsule oblong, loculicidally 2-valved, the 

 valves bearing the placenta on their middle. Small annual 

 of the southern part of Lower California. 



C. BeHingi. Orthocarpus Beldingi, Greene, Bull. Cal. Acad. iii. 123. 



The characters of the corolla and stamens forbid, as Dr. 

 Asa Gray has suggested, the placing of this plant in Ortho- 

 carpus. The genus is dedicated to Mr. Daniel Cleveland, 

 of San Diego, whose intelligent field labors in Californian 

 Botany have well earned this acknowledgment. 



..'. Miscellaneous Species, Mostly New. 



Eschscholtzia elegans. 



Annual, a foot or two high, brandling above the base, 

 glabrous and very glaucous: leaves finely dissected, their 

 ultimate divisions linear, long and parallel or shorter and 

 divergent: torus cylindrical, the two margins closely ap- 

 proximate, the inner one erect and hyaline: petals 4 — 8 

 lines long, rotate-expanding, their margins hardly meeting, 

 greenish 3-ellow when fresh, turning toward orange in dry- 

 ing: seed slightly elongated, apiculate, raphe-obvious, re- 

 ticulation distinct or obscure. — E. Calif or nica var. hype- 

 coides, Gra}% of Watson's list, as to the plant of the south 

 part of Guadalupe Island, not of Bot. Cal. 



Var. ramosa. 



Shorter, stouter, more branching and leafy: leaf-lobes 

 shorter and divergent: corolla smaller, reddening less in 

 drying: seeds nearly globular and distinctly reticulate.
