122 Plants Collected in Southeastern Utah. [zoe 



club-shaped, obscurely tridentate; ovules numerous; capsule 

 slightly surpassing the calyx, seeds tuberculate developing 

 spiricles and mucilage. In habit this seems to belong to Eugelia; 

 but it diflfers from all described Gilias in having no style branches, 

 but instead a club-shaped tridentate stigma. Collected June 20, 

 1892, in Ruin Canon, a branch of the McElmo and near the 

 boundary line between Colorado and Utah. It was named from 

 the appearance of the stigma and petals. 



V 95. GiLiA SUPERBA n. sp. Stems one or several from a 

 woody tap root, each with a rosulate cluster of leaves at base, 

 cymosely branched above, or even diffuse from near the base; 

 glutinous throughout; radical leaves varying from spatulate and 

 entire to obovate-cuneate, wnth margins crenately to incisely den- 

 tate, with apiculate teeth, tapering into margined petoiles, which 

 are often purplish on the mid-nerves and at the base; 3 to 5 cm. 

 long; cauline leaves few and scattered, sessile, incisely dentate, 

 small, and decreasing upwards into linear-subulate bracts; flow- 

 ers clustered at the ends of the long, almost naked peduncles, on 

 pedicels equalling or shorter than the calyx; calyx open campan- 

 ulate, the five triangular-acute lobes about equalling the tube, 

 purplish, dotted with stipitate glands; corolla crimson, velvety 

 in texture, salver-form; tube about three times as long as the 

 calyx, widening upwards, lobes obovate, shorter than the tube, 

 about 5 mm. broad; stamens equally inserted and wholly included; 

 style as long as the corolla tube, surpassing the stamens; ovules 

 numerous (about fifty); immature seeds irregular in shape, 

 with a loose, crumpled outer coat, fewer than the ovules.

This beautiful and showy Gilia belongs to the section Ipo- 

 mopsis, and comes nearest to G. Haydeni, with which it has 

 been directly compared, not only with specimens from the type 

 locality, but also with the type itself, in Mr, Brandegee's Her- 

 barium. This is either a winter annual or a biennial, while G. 

 Haydeyii is perennial, the cauline leaves are more bract-like and 

 fewer, it is less diffuse but taller, larger, and much more gluti- 

 nous, the calyx is more spreading and with the lobes not mem- 

 branously margined; the stamens of G. Haydeni are protruded 

 beyond the tube, and the stigma is below them; in G. superba
