 (1901), ed. 2, 335 (1911), Man. 805 (1925). Lcptosiphon parviflorus Benth., Bot. Reg. sub t. 

 1622 (1833), type from Cal., Douglas. Leptosiphon lutcus Benth., I.e., t^'pe from Cal., Douglas; 

 (this name, Leptosiphon luteus Benth., Bot. Reg. sub t. 1622, precedes Leptosiphon parviflorus 

 Benth., Bot. Reg. sub t. 1622, on the page, but Greene, Pitt. 2:258, definitely chose the name 

 Leptosiphon parviflorus for use as the basis of his Linanthus parviflorus because of certainty 

 attending it, at the same time placing a query on Leptosiphon luteus as a synonym because of 

 uncertain identity. L'nder the Intern.itional Rules, Linanthus parviflorus Greene is, therefore, 

 valid). Gilia lui'ea Stcud., Nom, Bot. ed. 2, 1:684 (1840). Gilia micrantha Steud., I.e.; Benth. 

 in DC, Prodr. 9:315 (1845), type from Cal., Douglas. G. lutea subsp. micrantha Brand; Engler,

 mento Valley, Eartweg 234. Linanthus nudatus Greene, Erythea 3:120 (1895), type from Lake 

 Co., agrees (ex char.) sufBciently well mth Linanthus parviflorus as here understood, save that 

 the calyces are described as "scarious between the angles." Linanthus breviculus var. nudatus 

 Mason; Jepson, Man. 806 (1925), the varietal name resting on L. nudatus Greene, a Lake Co. 

 plant. Linanthus luteolus Greene, Erythea 3:121 (1895), type loc. Cuyamaca Mts., Yasey ; be- 

 longs here ace. S. B. Parish in litt. and essentially ex char. Linanthtis parviflorus var. luteolus 

 Mlkn., Univ. Cal. Publ. Bot. 2:58 (1904). GiJia liitea var. luteola Brand; Engler, Pflzr. 4=»'':143 

 (1907), probably belongs here. Linanthus asprellus Greene in Baker, West Am. Plants 2:13 

 (1903), nomeu nudum, type from "Mid. W. Cal.," Baker 3064, perhaps belongs here. Linanthus 

 graciosus Mlkn., L'niv. Cal. Puljl. Bot. 2:59 (1904), ty^e loc. La Graciosa, Santa Barbara Co., 

 Eastwood (typ. vidi) ; bracts % as long as calyces; calyces rather densely puberulent vdth spread-
