Flora of South Fork of Kings River. 73 



narrowly linear, not so long as the tube of the corolla but much 

 surpassing the pod. Corolla pale violet, tubular-funnel-form, the 

 lobes short and round without appendages at base of tube. Sta- 

 mens unequal and unequally inserted, included in the corolla 

 tube. Style 2-cleft at apex. Pod hairy, with thin membranous 

 walls, containing 4 seeds. Millwood, in the shade. 



Hydrophyllum occidentale Watsoni Gray. Perennial from 

 fleshy, clustered roots, almost stemless, with the leaves mostly 

 from the root, hispid throughout with white hairs. Leaves broad, 

 pinnately divided into 5-9 parts, the upper ones running into 

 each other ; petioles thick, longer than the blades, together 5-8 

 in. long and almost as broad ; lobes broadly oblong, i in. long, 

 mucronate. Flowers in head-like clusters on long peduncles sur- 

 passing the leaves. Divisions of the calyx lanceolate, veiny, en- 

 larging on age, about as long as the corolla and much surpassing 

 the pod. Corolla bell-shaped, violet or whitish, )/% in. long, with 

 rounded lobes almost as long as the tube, the narrow appendages 

 extending almost the entire length of the tube and folding in- 

 wards. Stamens and style exserted ; filaments clothed with long^ 

 hairs near the middle ; anthers narrowly oblong-linear. Style 

 2-cleft. Pod globular, containing generally but one seed marked 

 with a mesh -like veil. Millwood, in the shade, blooming in the 

 spring. 



Phacelia ramosissinia Dougl. Vervenia. Perennial, with 

 long, spreading, decumbent branches, viscid pubescent and some- 

 what hispid. Leaves with 5-9, oblong, dentate to irregularly cut 

 pinnate divisions; lower ones 6 in. long, somewhat diminishing 

 upwards. Flowers almost sessile in short, dense, 2-3-forked, 

 scorpioid spikes, terminating the branches. Calyx with oblance- 

 olate, unequal, very narrow divisions loosely investing the capsule 

 and surpassing it. Corolla tubular-bell-shaped, pale violet or 

 whitish, larger than the calyx, the lobes rounded. Stamens and 

 style smooth, exserted. The appendages on the corolla tube ex- 

 tend from the insertion of the stamens to the throat and are like 

 the blade of a knife and attached the whole length. Pod oblong, 

 pointed ; seeds keeled on one side, with a central ridge on the 

 other, pitted. General Grant Grove, Bubbs Creek. 



Phacelia hydrophylloides Torr. Perennial, from creeping 

 rootstocks, branching, about a foot high, viscid throughout and 

 clothed with fine pubescence and longer hairs, rather weak and 

 straggling. Leaves ovate to oblong, the upper entire, lower 

 coarsely dentate or lobed or with one or two leaflets near the 

 petiole. Flowers on short pedicels, crowded into clustered spikes
