Plants viscid-pubescent throughout, 8-18 dm. tall. Leaf-blades lanceolate, usually 5-30 cm. 

 long, 1-3 cm. broad, acuminate, tapering gradually into the narrow, sessile base ; cymes glan- 

 dular-hirsute, the inflorescence 1-3 dm. long, compact in flower, rather open in fruit; calyx- 

 lobes linear-subulate, 3-4 mm. long, densely glandular-hirsute; corolla 10-20 mm. long, 5-15 

 mm. broad, the lobes orbicular, 2-5 mm. long; style about 5 mm. long; capsule ovoid, about 

 3 mm. long; seeds 1-1.5 mm. long. 



Dry, brushy slopes, Sonoran and Transition Zones; southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi ranges and the 

 mountains of southwestern California to northern Lower California. Type locality: "On the Mohave slope of 

 the San Bernardino Mountains." June-Aug. 



12. ERIODICTYON Benth. Bot. Sulph. 35. 1844. 



Stout, erect, branched shrubs, evergreen, glabrous and glutinous to tomentose, with 

 shredding bark. Leaves alternate, thick, toothed or entire, petiolate or sessile. Flowers 

 numerous in terminal, branched, scorpioid, OF>en or subcapitate cymes, pedicellate to sub- 

 sessile. Calyx divided nearly to the base, the lobes subequal. Corolla violet or purple to 

 white, deciduous, broadly funnel form to tubular-urceolate, usually longer than the calyx, 

 shallowly lobed. Stamens included, equal or unequal, equally inserted on the base of the 

 corolla-tube, the filaments often adnate to the tube ; appendages obsolete. Style divided 

 to the base. Mature capsule cartilaginous, falsely bilocular by the intrusion and union of 

 the narrow placentae, both loculicidally and septicidally dehiscent into 4 nutlet-like valves. 

 Ovules 2-4 in each locule. Seeds usually 2-6, ovoid, angular or somewhat flattened, dark 

 brown or black, longitudinally striate with fine ridges. [Name Greek, meaning wool and 

 net, referring to the appearance of the leaves.] 



A genus of about 8 species, of the southwestern United States and adjacent Mexico. Type species, Eriodictyon 

 crassifolium Benth. 



Leaves narrowly linear, subsessile; inflorescence capitate-clustered, glabrate. 1. E capitatum.

 glandular-hirsute. 

 Leaves glabrous and glutinous above (including E. crassifolium var. denudatum). 



Leaves densely tomentose beneath, obscuring the lateral veins. 4. E. lanatum. 



Leaves thinly tomentulose and strongly venose beneath. 



Calyx-lobes sparsely hispidulous-ciliate to glabrous; corolla tubular-funnelform, 8-15 mm. long, 

 4-10 mm. broad. 2. E. californicum. 



Calyx-lobes densely hirsute; corolla broadly funnelform, 5-8 mm. long and broad. 



3. E. trichocalyx. 

 Leaves tomentose above, not glutinous. 



Corolla broadly funnelform, 8-15 mm. long, 4-8 mm. broad; calyx-lobes nonglandular ; style 4—5 mm. 



long. 5. E. crassifolium. 



Corolla tubular-urceolate, 3-5 mm. long, 2-3 mm. broad; calyx-lobes glandular; style 2-3 mm. long. 



6. E. tomentosum.

 revolute, tapering into a sessile base ; cymes glabrous, capitate-clustered ; calyx-lobes linear- 

 subulate, 8-10 mm. long, densely hirsute; corolla lavender, tubular-funnelform, 8-15 mm. long,

 glabrous and glutinous; leaf-blades linear to narrowly linear-lanceolate, 4-8 cm. long, 2-5 mm. broad, entire or 

 inconspicuously dentate, revolute, glabrous and glutinous above, canescent and venose beneath, subsessile; cymes 

 glutinous and sparsely pubescent, open in fruit; calyx-lobes linear, 3 mm. long, nearly glabrous to somewhat 

 hirsute; corolla white, narrowly campanulate, 5-6 mm. long, barely exceeding the calyx. New York Mountains,
