Var. grlnnellii (Brand) Jepson comb. n. Leaves mainly basal or sub-basal, % to li/4 inches 

 long, thin, twice pinnately dissected into small (% to % line long) crowded segments; corolla red, 

 7 to 12 lines long, the tube 3 to 9 times as long as the calyx. — San Gabriel Mts.: Icehouse Caiion, 

 Peirson 457; West Fork San Gabriel River, Peirson 286;"Rock Creek Divide, Peirson 2485. This 

 is a remarkably striking phase published as a species by Brand. But length of corolla-tube is so 

 extremely unstable in this group that the weakness of this form, even as a variety, is perhaps 

 too great. 



Var. altissima Parish. Stems 1 or few, strictly erect, 1% to 2 feet high, leafy at base and 

 on lower part; leaves bipinnately divided into fine somewhat crowded segments, the segments % 

 to 1 line long; corolla 3 to 3% (or 10) lines long. — Inner valleys and montane slopes and flats, 

 1200 to C400 feet, coastal Soutliern California from northern Ventura Co. and the interior moun- 

 tains of Santa Barbara Co. to the San Bernardino Mts. and western Riverside Co. 



Gilia tenuiflora var. altissima is a tall or robust plant, the leaves large with long-linear often 

 crowded segments and the stem leafy on lower part and at base. It inhabits a distinctive phyto- 

 geographic area but is relatively uncommon. Stations are cited as follows: Mt. Piiios, TV. B. Holt; 

 San Rafael Mts., E. Sr M. Bearing 1438; McKinley Mt., Hoffmann; betw. Lake Arrowhead and 

 Big Bear Lake, H. 4" J^I- Bearing 1436; San Bernardino, Parish; Colton, Cleveland; Elsinore (5 

 mi. n.), Jepson 12,434. 



Var. caruifolia Munz. Stem erect, panieulately branching above, 1% to 2 feet high; the 

 leaves basal and on lower part of stem ; herbage glabrous or subglabrous and often glaucous, the 

 panicle branches slender or capillary, furnished with scattered taek-sliaped glands; leaves 2 to 3 

 inches long, bipinnately divided into linear segments, the segments short, acute; panicle large, 

 broad, the flowers solitary; corolla purple, 2% to 3 lines long, its tube included in the calyx or 

 little surpassing it, the throat rather abruptly expanded from the tube (broadly top-shaped), the 

 limb 2 to 2'/" lines broad. — Mountain slopes and flats, 4000 to 7000 feet, Laguna and Cuyamaca 

 mountains, San Diego Co. : Laguna Mts., Cleveland ; Talleys ranch, Cuyamaca, Bunn; betw. Julian 

 and Cuyamaca, K. Brandegee ; Julian, I. Brandegee. June- July. 



In its best development var. caruifolia is most readily known by its large broad panicle, small 

 corollas with abruptly and broadly dilated throat, and the short-linear segments of its pinnately 

 divided leaves. Although it is not the most extreme form in this aggregate, it possesses more 

 nearly distinct features than any other. While it develops small or dwarfish states, otherwise it 

 seems to be the only form in its area save on the outer margins of its localized range. 



Var. newloniana Jepson var. n. Stems 1 to several from the base, rather sparingly branched, 

 8 to 20 inches high; herbage puberulent or villous, often glandular throughout; leaves 2 to 5 

 inches loug, bi- or tripinnately divided into oblong or linear segments, the segments mostly 1 to 3 

 lines long, remote or discrete, somewhat divaricately spreading; flowers somevvliat dichotomously 

 or racemosely cymose; corolla funnelform, 3% to 4% lines long, its tube usually included in the 

 calyx, its throat not abruptly expanded. — (Caules ab basi unus vel plures, simplices, 8-20 uuc. 

 alti; herba puberulens vel villosa, saepe perglandulosa ; folia 2-5 unc. longa, bi- vel tri-pinnatifida, 

 segmentis oblongis vel linearibus, remotis, discretis, 1-3 lin. longis, subdivaricatis; inflorescentia 

 subdichotomo- vel racemoso-cymosa ; corolla infundibuliformis, 3V4-414 lin. longa, tubo calyce 

 subbreviore.) — Valley flats and caiion bottoms, 200 to 1500 feet: west and north sides of the 

 Colorado Desert. 



In the western Colorado Desert var. newloniana is a plant with large thin leaves twice or thrice 

 pinnately divided or toothed, the segments in their extreme expression very remote and sometimes 

 divaricately curved. It iutergrades on the north side of the Colorado Desert with the "stellata" 

 form (G. stellata Hel.) of var. latiflora, a form mainly of the Mohave Desert with more condensed 

 bipinnately divided leaves, the segments somewhat stellately toothed. This "stellata" form in turn 

 intergrades freely with var. latiflora and var. sinuata of the Mohave Desert. The following sta- 

 tions are cited in validation of var. newloniana : Mountain Springs grade, sw. Imperial Co., New- 

 Ion 377; Vallecito, e. San Diego Co., Jepson 8587; Andreas Caiion, San Jacinto Mts., Newlon 433 

 (type); Coral Reef ranch, sw. of Coachella, Clary 1623; Deep Caiion, Santa Rosa Mts., Munz 

 11,988; Santa Maria Mts., e. Riverside Co., Schellenger. 



Var. sinuata (Dougl.) Jepson comb. n. Stems 1 or several from the base, erect, branching 

 mostly above, erect or difl'use, 5 to 9 (or 24) inches high; herbage puberulent to glabrous, some- 

 times tomentose or arachnoid, nearly always furnished above with minute gland-tipped hairs, the 

 stems sometimes glandular tliroughout, including the pedicels and calyx; leaves V^ to 2% inches 

 long, mostly in a basal rosette, usually not glandular, pumately (sometimes bipinnately) divided 

 into narrow segments, the segments discrete or remote, short or elongated, entire or toothed, or
