21. G. micromeria Gray. Stems few or several from the base, branching, 2 to 

 4 inches high, a little diffuse ; herbage glandular-piiberulent or th^ basal tuft of 

 leaves subglabrous ; leaves linear or oblong, pinnately parted or dentate, or entire, 

 subsessile, 3 to 6 lines long; flowers terminating the branches, borne on pedicels 2 

 to 5 lines long, subpauiculate; calyit-lobes oblong; corolla white, cami^anulate, li/^

Sandy valleys, 4000 to 6000 feet : Inyo Co. North to northwestern Nevada and 

 southeastern Oregon. May-July. 



Loc. — Only one collection is known from California and that uncertainly, since it lacks a 

 definite station, namely, S. W. Austin 160 (det. A. Eastwood), from the east slope of the Sierra 

 Nevada in Inyo Co. Another plant, Gilia inyoensis Jtn. var. breviuscula Jepson, bearing also the 

 number, Austin 160, was collected in the Sierra Nevada, west of Olancha, Inyo Co.

22. 6. inyoensis Jtn. Plants diffusely and usually dichotomously branched 

 from the base, li/4 to 4 inches high, the cauline leaves small and remote, the branches 

 thus rather naked ; herbage thinly and minutely glandular-puberulent ; leaves ses- 

 sUe, those of the basal rosette obovate to oblong or luiear, sparsely dentate to entire, 

 the upper ones linear to lanceolate, mostly entire, 1 to 2 lines long, the lower cauline 

 ones (just above the basal rosette) often incised-dentate; flowers eymose, the pedi- 

 cels filiform, divaricate, 1 to 8 lines long ; calyx spreading, cleft about to middle, the 

 lanceolate lobes scarious-margined; corolla white (the throat yellow), turbinate- 

 campanulate, 2 to 21/1; lines long, cleft % to base, the lobes broad, often emarginate 

 or denticiflate at apex; stamens equal, included, inserted at middle of corolla-tube ; 

 style exceeding or shorter than the stamens.

Field note. — The stamen filaments incurve with their anthers appro.ximate about the style. 

 Below the 5 apertures formed by the incurving filaments are 5 .semi-transparent spots on the corolla- 

 tube towards the base. There are also 2 parallel oblong faintly orange spots towards the base of 

 each lobe of the corolla.
