576 ONAQRACEAE 



ovate-oblonfr to oblong, ^/i to IV2 inches long; calyx-tube 7 to 8 (or 11) lines long; 

 calvx-lobos crimson, linear-lanceolate, 9 lines long, abruptly recurved from the 

 middle; petals rose-purple, 7 to 12 lines long, cuneate-obovate, 3-lobed; 3 upper 

 petals commonly approximate and ascending, tlie lower one opposite these and de- 

 clined, thus making a corolla which is positionally irregular and as if 2-lipped; 

 filaments not at all or scarcely dilated at base or apex, the anthers recurved after 

 dehiscence and sparsely short-ciliate ; capsule sessile, nearly straight, % to 1 inch 

 long; seeds short-subcylindric, pointed at one end, the other end oblique and 

 margined with a dense row of short teeth. 



Loose or shifting fine soil on slopes, in openly wooded or brushy country, 50 to 

 2500 feet : Coast Ranges from Humboldt and Glenn Cos. to Santa Clara Co. May- 

 June. 



Note on variation. — The petals in this species sometimes approach those of Clarkia breweri 

 in shape, that is, the middle lobe is sometimes prolonged and spatulate. The filaments in such 

 specimens are not dilated and the anthers are curled.

7. GODETIA Spach 



Mostly erect annuals with narrow shortly petioled or sessile alternate leaves. 

 Flowers showy, red, purple, cream-color or nearly white, opening during the day, 

 disposed in leafy racemes or spikes, the inflorescence sometimes reduced to but few 

 flowers or a single one. Calyx-tube obconic or funnelform, this and the calyx 

 often colored. Calyx-lobes 4, reflexed in anthesis, or united and turned to one 

 side. Petals 4, commonly broad and entire, sometimes notched or 2-lobed. Sta- 

 mens 8, those opposite the petals shorter; anthers basitixed. Capsule linear, rarely 

 ovate, 4-sided or terete, often longitudinally ribbed, 4-eelled, 4-valved. Seeds in 

 1 or 2 rows. — Species about 25, western North and South America. (C. H. Godet,
