FENZLIA. 



F. *speciosa. Copiously branching from the base, nearly glabrous ; leaves 

 linear, entire ; flowers pedunculate, (concolor, nearly white ?) border of the 

 corolla as long as the elongated segments of the smooth calyx. 



Hab. On the island of Catallna. Flowering in February. 



F. *concinna. (■). Very dwarf and somewhat pubescent, branching from the 

 base; leaves linear, flowers nearly sessile ; segments of the caly.K longer than the 

 cup. 



Hab. Near Santa Diego, Upper California. Flowering in May. (Nuttall.) 



LEPTODAC TYLON. 



L. *cxspitosum. Diffusely casspitose, herbaceous and smooth; leaves 

 imbricated, the segments about 3, flat, with sharp subulate points ; the 

 tube of the corolla exserted ; segments cuneate, entire. 



Hab. On the borders- of the Platte, and hills near Scott's Blufi^s. Flowering 

 in May. (Nuttall.) 



EUTOCA. 



E. ^alhijlora. Q. Glandularly pilose and viscid ; stem erect and branching; 

 leaves broad-ovate, shortly petiolate, subcordate, angularly biserrate ; racemes 

 curved, elongated, many-flowered, calyx segments spaithulate-linear, obtuse ; co- 

 rolla not much longer than the calyx ; capsule many-seeded. ' 



Hab. Santa Barbara, Upper California. 



E. *speciosa. Q. Stem erect and simple; leaves broad ovate, subcordate, 

 doubly serrate, almost lobed, beneath strongly nerved, and, as well as the stem 

 and calyx, hispid and viseidly glandular ; racemes at the summit of the stem, 

 several, circinate, not elongated ; flowers on short pedicels ; segments of the calyx 

 spathulate-linear ; capsule with more than fifty roundish, very rugose seeds. 



Hab. Near St. Diego, Upper California. (Nuttall.) 



*EUCRYPTA.t 

 Calyx 5-parted, without external appendages ; lobes oval or ovate.. Corolla 

 tubular companulate, half .5-cleft, deciduous, without internal appendages; the 

 lobes rounded; the aestivation with three segments exterior and two interior. 

 Stamens 5, equal, arising from the base of the corolla, smooth, somewhat ex- 

 serted; anthers small and oval, nectary none. Ovary depressed, globose, 1- 

 celled ; placentas 2, free, externally septiferous, each with four dissimilar 

 ovules. Style elongated, very shortly bifid. Stigmas minute. Capsule 

 2.valved, dividing parallel with the placenta, presenting four roundish, rugose 

 seeds ; concealed in the adnate parietes, as it were, of each of these valves are, 

 (when perfect,) two other seeds, which are even and elliptic ! separated from the 

 other seeds by a perfect membranaceous partition, parallel with the deep con- 

 cavity of the valves, and each of these partitions is again divided internally by a 

 proper transverse septum; so that the capsule is in fact 4-ceiIed, witli closed 

 partitions, and the division of the adnate placentas presents the large circular 

 cavity of the capsule, as if merely 1-celied, with two hemispherical valves! 

 Seed with a corneous, large albumen ; embryo straight, minute, central, not 



t So called in allusion to the concealed cells of the capsule.
