deeply corrugated at right angles to the length and rather 

 irregularly, no reticulations across the corrugations, or scarcely 

 visible, seeds dark brown. 



Compared with E. pnsilla the flowers are a little larger, 

 yellow, as long as capsule; seeds four times as large and 

 corrugated and scarcely reticulated, while the other has seeds 

 spirally corrugated, black, with pits almost exactly those of a 

 honeycomb and seeds contracted at each end, the seeds of this 

 species are narrower and less pointed; the pubescence is also 

 different. 



•^ Phacelia pinetonivi n. sp. Habit and general appearance of 

 P. micrantha, as slender but less leafy, nearly erect, but rather 

 widely branched, three to eight inches high, first pair of leaves 

 ovate, long-petioled, entire, small, lower leaves simply pinnate with 

 oblong lobes which are not widened at apex, lower petioles not 

 margined or scarcely so and as long as the blade, uppermost 

 leaves oblong-linear, six to twelve lines long, entire or tridentate 

 at apex, sessile, scarcely enlarged at ba.se; pedicels one to four 

 times the calyx, occasionally minutely glandular, always hirsute- 

 hispid as well as the calyx; the leaves are sparsely hirsute 

 pubescent and not glandular; calyx lobes lanceolate or ovate, 

 narrower at apex or acutish, equaling or twice as long as the 

 short campanulate, white or blue corolla; appendages about one- 

 third the distance from the base of filaments to base of lobes and 

 in pairs; capsule globular; seeds few oblong or ovate to oval, 

 very deeply favose, not transversely corrugated nor tuberculate; 

 calyx enlarging.

 altitude, growing in situations similar to Polemonium micranttuim,

Gilia pentstetnoTioides n. sp. Caespitose from a much branched 

 perennial root; leaves linear-oblanceolate, acute, two inches long, 

 densely fascicled at the summit of the root branches gradually 

 contracted into a slender petiole, entire, rather thick, glabrous; 

 paniculate stems four inches high, but proper stem an inch long, 

 with short racemes arising from the axils of the scarcely 

 smaller stem-leaves which are three to five in number; upper
