Stems erect, with stout erect branches from near the base, 1-2 dm. high, succulent, very 

 sparsely strigillose. Lower leaves linear, 5-8 cm. long, upper ones linear-oblanceolate and 

 shorter, glabrous above, sparsely pustulate and strigose below ; racemes rather densely flowered, 

 erect and somewhat fistulous, leaf-bracted at base, unilateral with the flowers somewhat 2- 

 ranked; corolla about equaling the calyx-lobes, the limb about 1.5 mm. broad; fruiting calyx 

 sessile accrescent, 8-10 mm. long, the lobes united below with a tube about 2 mm. long, be- 

 coming firm by the indurated midrib; nutlets lanceolate, 2 mm. long, the body flattened and 

 the apex attenuate and beak-like ; dorsal side with a cauline keel and two rather definite lateral 

 ones, also with a few transverse ridges mostly above the middle, tuberculate ; ventral side keeled 

 the whole length, weakly tuberculate; scar basal, circular, substipitate. 



Salt marshes and alkaline flats, Upper Sonoran Zone; margin of San Francisco Bay in Alameda and Santa 

 Clara Counties, and near Hollister, San Benito County. Type locality: "Apache Pass. S. Arizona, L«Hmon, 

 1881." "Some misplacement of labels is to be suspected, for the form is common in the Alameda marsh lands, par- 

 ticularly about Mount Eden." K. Brandegee, Zoe 5: 94-95. 1901.

Stems erect or ascending, 1-5 dm. high, branching at or above the base, somewhat succu- 

 lent, yellowish green and shining, but very finely strigose. Basal leaves linear or narrowly 

 spatulate, upper leaves similar but shorter; racemes at length elongated and rigidly erect 

 and wiry, mostly unilateral, leafy-bracteate below; pedicels stout and strict; calyx accrescent, 

 the base and lower part of lobes developing prominent indurated midribs; lobes lanceolate to 

 linear, 5-8 mm. long, erect or spreading; corolla 5-12 mm. broad, well surpassing the calyx; 

 nutlets lanceolate to narrowly ovoid, 1.5-2.5 mm. long, often constricted above into a short 

 beak, straight or only slightly curved, rugose above the middle with oblique ridges, tuberculate 

 below; ventral side keeled to "the base, tuberculate or somewhat rugose; scar basal, small, sessile 

 or obscurely stipitate. 



Low places in heavy soils. Upper Sonoran Zone; Upper Rogue River Valley, Jackson County, Oregon Sacra- 

 mento Valley and surrounding foothills, also Sonoma, Napa, and (Hollister) San Benito Counties, California. 

 Type locality: Sacramento Valley, California. March-June.

 var. micranthas I M. Johnston, Contr. Arnold Arb. No. 3:45. 1932.) Corolla 2.5 mm broad, otherwise like 

 the typical species. Moist places. Upper Sonoran and Arid Transition Zones; Harney County, Oregon; Cali- 

 fornia; common in the Sacramento Valley, but with widely scattered stations throughout the state from Larsen 

 and Lake Counties to Campo, San Diego County and the Sierra Nevada (\osemite Valley and Giant Forest). 

 Type locality: Stockton, California.

 Plagiobothrys undulatus I. M. Johnston, Contr. Arnold Arb. No. 3 : 46. 1932. 



Stems branching near the base, branches slender ascending or more or less sprawling in 

 age, 1-3 dm. long. Lower leaves linear, 3-6 cm. long; racemes usually with a few scattered 

 bracts, loosely flowered; calyx slightly accrescent, rather sparsely villous-hispidulous, lobes 

 about 2 mm. long, lanceolate, erect; corolla 1.5-2 mm. broad; nutlets ovoid or lanceolate-ovoid. 

 depressed, dorsal side keeled toward the apex and transversely rugose with crowded low un- 

 dulate ridges, these becoming reduced to tubercles toward the base, finely granulate ; ventral side 

 keeled from the apex to scar, scar linear or nearly so, about_ one-fifth length of nutlet and lying 

 in an elongate depression formed by low ridges paralleling it. 



Moist adobe or dry soils in valleys and mesas near the coast. Transition and Upper Sonoran Zones; Marin 

 County to San Diego County, California. Type locality: grain field near ocean, Santa Barbara. April-Aug.

Stems usually trailing and simple up to the fourth or sixth pair of leaves, 1-4 dm. long, 

 sparsely strigose; internodes usually elongated. Leaves linear, all opposite up to the flowering 

 branches, the lowest ones connate at base ; bracts subtending the lower flowers, broadly lanceo- 

 late ; racemes loose and elongated in age; pedicels slender, 2-15 or rarely 30 mm. long, often 

 spreading or recurved, strigose, especially so toward the apex; calyx about 4 mm. long, lobes 

 lanceolate, ascending or erect, strigose; corolla showy, 6-10 mm. broad; nutlets ovoid, dorsal 

 side keeled only toward the apex, transverse ridges irregularly scattered or somewhat reticulate,
