 8 (1821), and Nov. Act. Leop. xiv. 811. t. 45 (1828), under (£,>othera: 

 G. vinosa, Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1880 (1836). Erect, slender, 1—2 ft. bigb, 

 puberulent : leaves lanceolate or oblanceolate, entire or denticulate : 

 calyx-tube obconic, 2 — 4 lines long : i>etals 8—15 lines long, wbite, pink 

 or purple, witb a dark purple spot near tbe base : filaments rather stout; 

 anthers deep crimson, the vacant upper end white or yellowish : stigma- 

 lobes linear : capsule 1 — 1 ^ in. long, narrowed at each end ; pedicel 

 2—6 lines long. — From Monterey northward ; the white-flowered and 

 typical form seldom seen. 



14. Gf. rubicttiida, LindL Bot. Reg. 1. 1856 (1836). Near the preceding, 

 but often 4 ft. high : calyx-tube longer, funnelform : petals jjurple, with 

 an orange spot at base : anthers orange-red, the empty end bright yel- 

 low : capsules sessile, scarcely attenuate at apex. — Of more northerly 

 general range than the preceding ; perhaps not distinct from it ; it is 

 nevertheless quite as possible that three or four species formerly dis- 

 tinguished are confusedly embraced by these two names. 



15. Gt. Botta?, Spach, Monogr. Onagr. 73 (1835) ; T. & Q. Fl. i. 505 

 (1840), under (Enollieva. Erect, sparingly branching, 1 — 2 ft. high, 

 puberulent or glabrous : leaves linear-lanceolate, entire or sparingly 

 denticulate, petiolate, 1 — 2 in. long : calyx-tube short-obconic : petals 

 light purple, J^ — 1 in. long : filaments slender, and style elongated ; 

 stigma-lobes short, yellow : capsule attenuate at each end, 10 — 15 lines 

 long ; pedicel % — % in. long. — In the southern Coast Range from 

 Monterey southward. 



16. {}. epilobioides, Wats. Bot. Calif, i. 231 (1876); Nutt.; T. & G. 

 Fl. i. 511 (1840), under (Enolhera. Habit of the preceding, but more 

 slender, usually 1 ft. high ; glabrous or tomentose-puberulent : leaves 

 linear or linear-lanceolate : calyx-tube 1 — 2 lines long : petals 3—6 lines, 

 dull white, with or without a tinge of rose : stigma-lobes short : capsule 

 acuminate, attenuate to a short pedicel or sessile, ^g — 1 in. long. — Said 

 to occur throughout the State ; but we doubt its existence except from 

 Santa Barbara Co. southward, where it is common. 



17. a. liispidnla, Wats. 1. c, and Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c, under CEnoihera. 

 Erect, simple, a few inches high, often 1 -flowered: pubescence hispidu- 

 lous : leaves narrowly linear, 1 — 2 in. long : calyx-tube 2 — 3 lines : 

 petals purple, % — 1 in. long : filaments slender : stigma-lobes linear : 

 capsules % — % in. long, attenuate at apex, below abruptly contracted to
