1. E. MACROPHYLLUM, Hook. and Arn., Bot. Beeche}^, 327. Aspan to a foot or more 

 high, bi-anchecl when large, eanescent-hispid and with copious interspersed glandular 

 hairs, at least on the pedicels ; radical leaves reniform, triangular-ovate, with a broad sinus, 

 obtuse, doubly crenate or with about 5 round lobes ; cauline leaves subdeltoid, incisely 

 5-lobed, with coarse round-acuminate teeth; lower petioles longer than the blades; stip- 

 ules herbaceous, ovate, acuminate ; peduncles mostly exceeding the leaves, 2-7-flowered 

 the pedicels somewhat refracted; bracts lanceolate; sepals ovate, with spreading acute 

 or acuminate-pointed tips, usually searious-margined, purple-veined, at length 12-15 mm. 

 long; petals 10-15 mm.; beak finally 40-5U mm. long ; divisions of ovary more densely 

 hairy than in our other species, conspicuously truncate, 3 X mm.; seed 1.5 X 4.5 mm. 

 —Texas to California.— PL 10, fig. 12. 



2. E. Texan-um, Gray, PL Lindheimer, 157. E. macrophnllnm, Gray, Ives' Kep. 8. 

 Very similar to the last but not at all glandular ; pedicels and tlower-buds silvery canes- 

 cent; leaves triangular-cordate, with a broad sinus, obtuse, 3-parted, the cauline often 

 with sinuses widened below, the basal divisions mostly cleft on the lower side and the 

 terminal trilobed; sepals abi'uptly acmninate-pointed, 8-12 mm. long; petals purple, 

 1.5-18 mm. long, sometimes greatly reduced or wanting; beak .50-70 nun. long; divi- 

 sions of ovary not prominently truncate, 1.5-2 X 9 mm. ; seed .8-1 X 3.7-4 mm. — Texas to 

 California.— PL 10, fig. 13. 



E. malachoides, AVilld., Spec, in, 639, a somewhat glandular, small-flowered plant, 

 with ovate somewhat incisely 5-9-lobed irregularly toothed leaves, short-pointed sepals 

 about 5 mm. long, and very small fruit, the beak 25 mm. long, divisions of ovarv 1x4 

 mm., obliquely truncate, seed .8 X 2.5 mm., has been collected on ballast at ]^ew York 

 City {Browri). — From the Mediterranean region. — PL 10, fig. 14. 



E. BoTRYS, Bertoloni, Amoen. ItaL, 35, with loosely white-\allous stems and petioles, 

 incisely 5-9-parted ovate-oblong leaves, the cauline with rather narrow acute divisions, 

 thin ciliate stipixles, pointless sepals 8-9 mm. long, and large fruit, the beak 70-120 mm., 

 and scarcely truncate divisions of ovary 1.5 X 11 mm., has been collected in the Sacra- 

 mento Valley, California ( Greene) and on a refuse-heap in Boston (^Murray) . — From 

 South Europe. — PL 10, fig. 1(3. 



E. CicoNiuM, AVilld., Spec, iii, G29, with glandular somewhat canescent stems, ovate 

 leaves, the cauline bipinnatisect, abruptly awn-pointed sepals at length 8-10 mm. long, 

 and large fruit, the beak over 70 mm., divisions of ovary 2 X 9 mm., has been collected 

 on ballast at Philadelphia {Martindale) . — Also from the Mediterranean region. — PL 

 10, fig. 15. 



3. E. MOSCiiATUM, "Willd., Spec, in, 631. Villous Avith coai-se thin-walled spread- 

 ing hairs ; leaves oblong, pinnately divided, divisions 9-13, the lower remote, ovate, in- 

 cisely lobed or irregailarly biserrate; stipules ovate-deltoid, thin and searious, obtuse; 

 sepals abruptly mucronate, 8-10 mm. long ; petals rose-colored, 3-5 mm. long ; beak 40^5 

 mm. ; divisions of capsule 1X4 mm., obliquely truncate ; seed 1 X 2.5 mm. — California to 

 Mexico, becoming a common roadside weed. A native of the Mediterranean region, also 

 introduced into South America and Australia. Said to give an unpleasant taste to milk 

 and butter when eaten by cattle. The form with rather deeply cut leaf segments ap- 

 proaches var. ji^mpinellaefoUum, of the next. — PL 10, fig. 17.
