9. Phacelia glandulifera, sp. nov. 



Animal, Ijraiiched from the base, 5 to 30 cm. high, hispid, and glandular throughout ; leaves 

 ol)long, pinnately parted into 11 to 15 narrow divisions, these acutish and mostly 2 to 6- 

 lobed; calyx lobes spatulate-oblanceolate, obtuse, entire or rarely bearing a single, lobe, 

 hispid and glandular, about 6 mm. long in flower, becoming twice as long and remaining 

 erect in fruit; corolla pale violet, campanulate-funnelform, 6 mm. long, barely exceeding 

 the calyx, 15-nerved, its rounded lobes 1.5 mm. long, the crests very obscure or wanting; 

 stamens included, the slender filaments subulate, unequally inserted toward the base, the 

 white anthers cordate-renif orm ; style 2-cleft at apex; stigmas capitate; capsule oblong, 

 5 to 6 mm. long, obtuse, sparsely, hispidulous; seeds about 12, angular, lanceolate-oblong, 

 beautifully tuberculate in transverse rows, 1.7 mm. long. 



This plant has long been confused with P. ivesiana Torr. of the Great Basin region south- 

 ward, though attention was called to its distinctness long since. a P. ivesiana differs in 

 having its herbage more hispid and nearlyglandless, and in having broader, obtuse, mostly 

 entire leaf lobes, glandless calyx, and more deeply corrugated seeds.
