13. B. Freinonti, Gray, 1. c; Bentb, PI. Hartw. 317 (1849), under 

 Burrielia; Greene, 1. c. under Lasthenia. Erect, slender, 8 — 10 in. bigb, 

 only hirsute-pubescent: leaves mostly palmately parted into linear lobes: 

 involucre broad; bracts 10 or 12; rays as many, the oval ligules not 

 longer than the width of the disk: pappus of 4 slender awns and as many 

 or more numerous small paleae, or rarely none. — Moist plains from Napa 

 and Solano counties southward. May. 



14. B. Burkei, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. ii. 151 (1886); Man. 204 

 (1894), under Lasthenia. Much like the last, but taller, 1—2 ft. high: 

 pappus of 8 — 10 minute entire acute paleae and a single very long and 

 slender awn. — Southern Mendocino Co.; to be expected in Sonoma. 



75. MONOLOPIA, De Candulle. Annuals white with floccose wool. 

 Leaves alternate, not linear, mostly toothed or entire. Ray-corollas 

 with ample ligule, usually bearing at base, and opposite the ligule, a 

 rounded denticulate appendage. Acbenes black, without pappus. Genus 

 otherwise like Lasthenia, and too near it; but also as easily referable to 

 Eriophyllum. 



1. M. major, DO. Prodr. vi, 74 (1837). Stout, nearly simple, or with 

 several pedunculiform naked monocephalous branches, 2 ft. high, ex- 

 panded heads more than 1 in. wide: bracts of involucre joined into a 

 broad-campanlilate toothed cup: achenes 2 lines long. In rich fields, or 

 on hillsides. May. 



2. M. gracileiiS, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 20 (1883). Slender, dif- 

 fusely paniculate, bearing scattered short-peduncled heads less than 1 

 in. wide: bracts of involucre distinct to the base: achenes 1 line long. — 

 Plentiful on Mt. Diablo near the summit, thence southward to tbe Santa 

 Cruz seaboard. May — July. 



3. M. iiiinor, DC. 1. c. Loosely lanate and only a few inches high: 

 cauline leaves cleft into 3 — 5 linear lobes: heads I4 in. high: bracts of 

 the involucre about 10, oblong, separate to below the middle. — An ob- 

 scure and long lost middle Californian plant, collected only by Douglas 

 more than sixty years since. 



76. EATONELLA, Gray, Small woolly annual with rosulate undi- 

 vided leaves, and small subsessile heads. Involucre of 8 oblong equal 

 bracts. Receptacle plane, naked. Rays small. Disk-corollas short, 5-
