PHACELIA FAMILY 273 



45. P. phacelioides Brand. Stem diffusely branching: from the base, 5 to 9 

 inches high, puberulent and hispid ; leaf-blades elliptic to oblong-lanceolate, paral- 

 lel-veined, entire, strigose, 1 to 1% inches long ; petioles i/4 to 1 inch long ; racemes 

 dense, the fruiting pedicels % to 1 line long; calyx-lobes in fruit linear, bristly- 

 hirsute, 5 to 6 lines long, twice or thrice the length of the capsule ; corolla dull 

 white, narrowly funnelform, 2^/2 to 3 lines long ; capsule ovate, acute or mucronate, 

 6 to 16-seeded ; seeds scrobiculate. 



Mountain peaks, 2300 to 3300 feet, rare : inner South Coast Range from Mt. 

 Diablo to the Mt. Hamilton Range. May-June. 



Geog. note. — Localities for Phacelia phacelioides, a restricted endemic, are known only on 

 the higher peaks of the inner South Coast Range, as follows: Mt. Diablo; Sugarloaf Mt., Santa 

 Clara Co. ; Red Mt., Santa Clara Co. ; Mt. Hamilton. The known localities are few and occurrence 

 is rare in individuals. About 55 miles covers the extent of the longitudLaal range. The geo- 

 graphic distribution of this species as thus established affords additional evidence that David 

 Douglas, the original discoverer, must have penetrated, in or about 1831, as far eastward as the 

 inner South Coast Range. It is highly improbable that, as suggested by Gray (Proc. Am. Acad. 

 10:325), Phacelia phacelioides was obtained in the vicinity of Monterey.

 oblong, entire or 1 or 2-toothed or incised, 1 to 2^/2 inches long, tapering to a short 

 (1 to 7 lines) petiole ; racemes densely flowered, at length 2 to 4 inches long; calyx- 

 lobes spatulate-obovate, bristly-ciliate, little exceeding the capsule; corolla turbi- 

 nate-campanulate, nearly white, 4 lines long ; scales oblong, adnate, truncate at 

 apex, adnate at base to filaments, the free edge connivent with free edge of scale 

 of adjoining pair ; stamens and 2-clef t style conspicuously exserted ; capsule shortly 

 beaked ; seeds 5 to 11, punctate-reticulate.

 blades ovate or oblong-lanceolate, entire (rarely coarsely toothed), % to 2 inches 

 long, the petioles 1 to 8 lines long ; racemes peduncled, racemosely disposed along 

 the stems and branches and terminal, densely many-flowered, at length 1 to 5 inches
