Amsinckia echinata Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 10:54 (1874), type loe. "Mohave district, se. 

 part of Cal.," Cooper (typ. vidi), but, according to the herbarium label. Cooper's specimen was 

 collected at Fort Mohave which is on the Arizona side of the Colorado Eiver (cf. also Macbride, 

 Contrib. Gray Herb. 49:16, and Cooper, Am. Nat. 3:470). A. menziesii var. echinata Brand; 

 Engler, Pflzr. 4-''-:2]l (1931), as to Fort Mohave citation. The nutlets are remarkable in that 

 the ruga of the carina and the many irregular transverse rugae are thin, irregularly and unequally 

 dentate, in part conspicuously slender-dentate. The surface of the nutlets is also rough-papillate. 

 No material has been seen from California, but collections of Amsinckia intermedia from semi-arid 

 habitats approach A. echinata somewhat.

 % to 2 feet high ; herbage spreading-hispid or strigose-hispid, and also more or less 

 puberulent, grayish; leaves 1 to 514 inches long, the blades linear (rarely lanceo- 

 late), sessile or narrowed to a petiole-like base; calyx white-hispid; corolla pale 

 yellow, 2 to 3 lines long, 1 line broad, its tube not exceeding calyx ; nutlets brown, 

 1 to 1%, lines long, the dorsal side carinate, finely papillate or slightly or roughly 

 muriculate, or transversely rugose (faintly or strongly) or rugae none; lateral 

 angles weakly or strongly carinate ; scar large, ovate. 



Open valley floors and hillsides, 100 to 5000 feet : interior of cismontane South- 

 ern California; Santa ClaraValley; Great Valley (mostly east side) ; SierraNevada
