Var. LATIFLOEA. The form witli larger corolla, 5-6" in length, the limb 
dilated and throat conspicuously dotted with purple. — A pretty dwarf flower 
of earliest spring, forming bright patches of color among the sage-brush in the 
lower valleys, the delicate inch-long stem seeming scarce able to sustain the 
absurdly disproportionate flowers that terminate it. Carson Valley, Nevada ; 
April. (798.) 
EuNANUS^ Fremonti, DC. Prodr. 10. 374. Viscidly pubescent or 
villous; stems 1-10' high, simple or branching from the base ; leaves 6-18" 
long, obovate, oblong or lanceolate, attenuate to the base, entire or obscurely 
denticulate, rather acute ; peduncles 1-4" long, shorter than the leaves ; calyx 
3-4" long, oblong, membranous, becoming much inflated, the teeth triangular- 
ovate, acute, subequal or the upper a little longer than the lower; corolla J-1' 
long, yellow or deep purple, with subequal retuse lobes, the throat usually 
bearded ; style funnelform at top ; ovary oblong-linear, membranous, a little 
exceeding tlie calyx. — Varying greatly in size ; early specimens have a single 
flower, the length of which oflen exceeds that of the stem, while later in the 
season they become 6' or more in height, more or less branched and with nu- 
merous flowers. Throughout California. Frequent on the foot-hills of the 
Washoe, Trinity, Pah-Ute and Toyabe Mountains, Nevada; 5-6,000 feet
