BOTAKT. 
sessile, with usually a single linear obtuse bract ; calyx 2-leaved, the lower 
leaf exterior in aestivation, 3-5-nervecl, the upper 2-nerved and 2-toothed at 
the apex, corolla 6-8'' long, purplish ; stamens 2, the filaments flattened and 
nearly glabrous and the anthers 1-celled ; capsule oblong, 8-seeded. — Accord- 
ing precisely with the fragment of Nuttall's own (Californian !) specimen in 
Herb. Gray., in which also the anther is 1-celled, instead of 2-celled as de- 
scribed ; the lower sepal is 3-ner\ ed at base, 5-nerved toward the apex.

CoEDYLANTHus RAMOSUS, Nutt. DC. Prodr. 10. 597. Erect, 6-10' 
higli, branched, canescent with a minute scabrous pubescence ; leaves pin- 
nately 3-5-parted with filiform segments, the floral ones with 5-7 equal fili- 
form lol)es scarcely dilated at the apex ; flowers capitate ; bracts entire or 
2-3-lobed ; calyx-leaves but little shorter than the yellow (6-8" long) corolla, 
ovate or oblong, obtuse, 5-6-nerved, the upper one emarginate ; stamens 4, 
filaments more or less villous, the anthers 2-celled ; capsule 4-5" long, linear- 
oldong, 20-seeded.— Very near C. Jilifolius, but probably distinct. The 
apparently fiUform segments of the leaves are in reality narrowly linear with 
closely revolute margins. Monitor and Euby Valleys and East Humboldt 
Mountains, Nevada, and in the Wahsatch ; 6-9,000 feet altitude; July, 
August. (817.)
