Phacelia, Torr. in Mss.) Dwarf, 1-3' high, pilose-hispid, diffusely branched 
fi-om the base and the branchlets short and clustered above ; leaves i-V long 
witli the slender petiole, oblanceolate or narrow-spatulate, obtuse or acute ; 
calyx-lobes narrowly linear, 3" long ; corolla 5-8" long, the tube narrow and 
the hmb broadly dilated, 4-6" in diameter, the lobes rounded ; style about 
equaling the stamens ; capsule 1" or more in length ; seeds J" long. — Com- 
mencing to flower when less than half an inch in height and finally becom- 
ing a close tuft, profusely flowering. The peculiar habit and mode of inflor- 
escence of this plant, the unequal insertion of the stamens high up in the 
narrow naked tube of the corolla, and the smooth waxy seeds, plainly sepa- 
rate it from every section of Phacelia, and seem to make good its so long 
suspected right to generic rank. From Eastern Oregon, (Tolmie ;) Nevada
