and temperature conditions of March and April. These are approximately the same in the latter 

 part of the rainy season in all these diverse climatic areas. Emmenanthe penduliflora has but one 

 named subspecies or variety, var. rosea Brand, which inhabits the inner South Coast Range from 

 southeastern Santa Clara County to Mt. Piiios, where the variety apparently quite replaces the 

 species. 



Flower note. — The filaments are glabrous and about one-half the length of the corolla. The 

 ovary is covered with stipitate glands and very short spreading bristles. The style is about one- 

 half the length of the stamens; it is cleft with coiled lobes and terminal stigmaa. The capsule 

 is cylindric.

Tax. note. — The leaf -blades in this variety are deeply parted with broad rounded sinuses; 

 whereas in the species the blades are merely pinnatifid with mostly shallow clefts either angular 

 or acute. The capsule is narrowly ovate and very green ; it is cylindric in the species and not 

 green. The margins of the carpels are united by a narrow cartilaginous edge, which is not the 

 case in the species. The seed is foveolate on one side, puncticulate on the other; whereas in the 

 species it is foveolate on both sides. These various differences, in addition to the difference In 

 hue of herbage, point somewhat towards specific status for this variety.
