^^ ^_ 4-- Florida?, coroUce limbo ratione calycis majusculo valde rotato- 

 explanato, fornicibus conspicuis ; nuculis rugosulis. 



K. Chorisiaxa. Myosotis Chorisiana, Cham. & Schlecht. Eri- 

 trichium Chorisianum, DC, Gray, Syn. Fl. ii. 191, cum syn. — Pube 

 parca siKjjius adpressa ; floribus laxe pedicellatis. 



K. ScouLERi. 3Iyosotis Scouleri, Hook. & Arn. Eritrichium 

 Scoideri, A. DC. I.e.; Gray, I.e., cum syn. — Facie pra^cedentis, 

 floribus in spicis strictis subsessilibus. 



K. CooPERi. Eritrichium Cooperi, Gray, Proe. Am. Acad. xix. 

 89. — Facie K. Scouleri, magis diffusa vel decumbens, setis patenti- 

 bus hispida. — In the Mohave district. Cooper, Parish. 



* * Perenuans, caulibus decumbentibus basi repentibus radicantibus : 

 pube villosa sat moUi; corollas limbo rotato-patente lin. 3-4 lato ; 

 nuculis fere K. Californicce, sed areola iusertionis prorsus iutrorsa 

 ovato-lanceolata gynobasi oblongo-pyramidatag adfixae. 

 K. MOLLIS. Eritrichium molle, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 89. — 

 Wet borders of ponds. Sierra Valley, California, Lemmon. A rougher 

 form from near Visalia, Congdon. A transition from the present 

 section to Euhrynitzkia. The scar usually extends up to nearly one 

 third the length of the ventral face, and the gynobase is correspond- 

 ingly high ; but this varies somewhat, and in Congdon's specimen it is 

 shorter. 



§ 3. EuKRYNiTZKiA. Nucula? (nunquam rugosse) angulo vel sulco 

 ventrali ab ima basi nunc fere ad medium nunc apicem usque gynobasi 

 elevata3 adlixas, dorso convexo nee carinato nee angulato, lateribus 

 obtusis rarove angulato-acutis nunquam marginatis : calyx fructifer 

 erectus vel clausus : corolla parva, tubo brevi calycem hand super- 

 ante, basi exannulato, fauce aut nuda aut fornicibus hand exsertis 

 instructa. — Herbaj annua?, floribus plerumque sessilibus scorpioideo- 

 spicatis. — Eritrichium § Krynitzkia, div. Euhrynitzkia, Gray, 1. c. 



stems. It must include Eritrichium pygmceum, Weddell (Anchnsa, HBK.), and 

 apparently a part of liis E. hiunile, such as the var. com/pstiim, Mandon's no. 381, 

 to which Weddell's figure answers, except as to the fruit, and which is certainly 

 not Brotero's no. 445, of Chili. The nutlets of K. linifolia are attached by an 

 oval or barely oblong scar, and the back is coarsely reticulate-rugose, not at all 

 " granulate-tuberculate." 



K. TENDiFOLiA, the " Eritrichiiim tenui/olium, Schlecht." of Lechler's PI. Chi- 

 lenses, no. 255, which has nutlets strictly of this group, must, from habitat and 

 character, be the Eritrichium humile, var. capillntum (misprinted " cajn'atum ") of 

 Gay, Fl. Chil., which Weddell refers to as different from E. humile. It is quite 

 uncertain what Mi/osotis hnmilis, Kuiz & Pav., an annual, can be, and what la 

 Lehmann's, described as with a perennial and fusiform fibrillose root.
