5. PHACELIA Juss. Gen. 129. 1789. 



Perennial, biennial, or annual herbs, variously pubescent and often glandular, from 

 woody root crowns or taproots. Leaves prevailingly alternate or some of them opposite, 

 the basal petiolate, entire or pinnately lobed, pinnatifid, or pinnately dissected. Flowers 

 numerous to few in dense, simple or variously branched terminal scorpioid cymes, or the 

 cymes lax and scarcely scorpioid, long-pedicellate to sessile. Calyx divided nearly to the 

 base, the lobes equal to very unequal, often accrescent. Corolla violet to blue or white, 

 deciduous, or tardily deciduous or marcescent in a few species, tubular to rotate, shorter 

 to longer than the calyx, shallowly to more deeply lobed. Stamens exserted or included, 

 subequal to unequal, equally inserted on the base of the corolla-tube ; a pair of variably 

 shaped scales attached to the corolla-tube at the base of each filament, wholly adnate or 

 partially free from the tube, and often attached to the filament or to the free margin of 

 the adjacent scale, or scales obsolete or completely absent. Style exserted or included, bifid
