4. C. cuiieata, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. i. 74 (1885). Ratlier slender, 

 1 ft. liig-h, glabrous: radical leaves 3—4 in. long, two-thirds as wide, 

 5— 7-foliolate; leaflets ovate, toothed or lobed, % in. long or more, 

 tapering to slender petiolnles of greater length, some of these with a 

 pair of secondary leaflets at base; cauline of 5 — 9 linear-cuneiform entire 

 leaflets: fl. large, white, changing to rose. —In dry ground under oaks 

 etc. near Jolon, Monterey Co., Greene. 



5. C. iiite^rifolia, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. ii. 389 (1887); Nutt. in 

 T. & G. Fl. i. 88 (1838), under Denlaria: C. paucisecla, Benth. PI. Hartw. 

 297 (1849), partly. Rather robust, 1 ft. high, glabrous, somewhat fleshy: 

 radical leaves 1 — 5-foliolate, the leaflets usually rounded and more or less 

 cordate and nearly or quite entire, 1~ 213 in. broad; iipper deeply lobed, 

 or pinuately 3'— 5-foliolate, the segments linear or linear-oblong, entire: 

 corolla large, white, nodding, the petals only campanulately spreading: 

 pod conspicuously beaked. — Common in wet meadows, in open ground. 



6. C. Califoriiica, Greene. Nutt. 1. c. under Dentaria: C. paucuecta, 

 Benth. partly. Near the last, but slender, tall, less fleshy; the leaves, 

 both radical and cauline, with broad and ample repandly and mucronu- 

 lately denticulate leaflets which are of a rich purple beneath: fl. smaller, 

 rose-color. — Very common in rich woods, or dry shady banks of the 

 Coast Range; doubtless to be retained as distinct from n. 5, on account 

 of the strictly sylvan habitat, and the differences in form and texture of 

 foliage, though Bentham and other closet botanists have confounded 

 them. 



7. C. carrtiophylla. Stoutish, 1 ft. high or less, glabrous: radical 

 leaves undivided, round-reniform to broadly cordate, slightly and some- 

 what angularly 5-lobed and mucronately denticulate, 1 in. wide or more; 

 cauline nearly as large, broadly cordate, acute, miicronate-denticulate, 

 tapering from within the broad sinus to a petiole ^i in. long: fl. rather 

 small, white: pods narrowly linear, slender-beaked. — In Weldon Canon 

 of the Vaca Mountains, Solano Co., 1 March, 1885, Jepson; an exceed- 

 ingly well marked new species, with caialine leaves quite like those of 



Viola glabella in outline. The rootstocks are more elongated than in 

 the allied species, and are barely an inch below the surface of the ground; 

 the petioles of the radical leaves very slender and 2—3 in. long. 



8. C. Nuttallii, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. ii. 389 (1887). Dentaria 

 tenella, Pursh, Fl. ii. 439 (1814). Rootstock elongated, somewhat jointed 

 and scaly: stem 6—10 in. high, naked below, but with 1—3 (usually 2) 

 palmately or pinnately parted small leaves below the inflorescence; 

 segments narrow-oblong or linear, i/^— 1 in. long, obtuse, often mucronate, 

 usually entire: radical leaf said to be simple, roundish, 5-lobed: fl. 

 i^_i^ in. long, in a small terminal cluster, white or rose-color: pod 

 unknown.— Plumas Co., 3Irs. Ames, and northward.
