106 PROCEEDINGS OP THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



haud cillatis in cauciicibus rosulatis ; umbella simplici (nee prolifera) 

 2-5-floi'a ; calycis lobis deltoideo-ovatis tubo suo aequilongis tubo 

 corollas brevioribus ; corolliB lobis latis tubo suo subdimidio breviori- 

 bus. — On Mount Hood, Oregon, May, 1880, Joseph and T. L. Howell. 

 A handsome and well-marked species of an interesting genus, to 

 stand next to the little known D. arctica. 



EcHiNOSPERMUM HisPiDUM. E caudice perenni erectum, pedale, 

 setis asperis patentibus hispidum ; foliis lanceolatis, imis oblongis in 

 petiolum attenuatis ; racemis sub-ebracteatis paniculatis laxis ; pedicellis 

 calyce longioribus, fructiferis decurvis ; corolla rotata viridulo-alba 

 intus basi annulo prominulo instructa ; nuculis dorso planis breviter 

 parceque glochidiatis, margine ala submembranacea dentata cinctis, 

 dentibus subulatis apice glochidiatis. — Northeastern Oregon, on Rocky 

 hillsides of Pine Creek, June, 1880, Cusick. In flower and with 

 forming fruit. This would belong to Boissier's genus Paracaryuin, as 

 that genus is defined and limited by Bentham, better indeed than does 

 E. glochidlatum. But however it be for the species which in the 

 Genera Plantarum are referred to Rindera, these two species cannot 

 well be separated from Eckinospermum. E. Redowskii var. cupula^ 

 turn is instructive in this respect. The flowers are no larger than 

 those of E. dejlexum. 



Pentstemon Cusickii. Saccanthera, P. Kingii proximus, prui- 

 noso-puberulus (sub lente), nee glandulosus ; caulibus e basi frutescente 

 strictis gracilibus (subpedalibus) foliosis ; foliis anguste liuearibus ; 

 pedunculis thyrsi pluriflori gracilibus ; sepalis ex ovato acuminatis ; 

 corolla semipollicari la3te purpureo-cterulea ; filamento sterili apice 

 dilatato. — On the banks of Powder River or Eagle Creek, N. E. 

 Oregon, June, 1880, Cusick. A neat and pretty species, related to 

 P. Iloezli and yet more to P. Kingii, but manifestly distinct, dedi 

 cated to the worthy discoverer. 



GiLiA DEPRESS A, Marcus E. Jones. E radice annua divaricato- 

 ramosa, demum humifuso-depressa, pilis brevibus multiseptatis cine 

 reo-hirsutula, viscidula ; ramis ad apicem usque a^qualiter foliatis ; 

 foliis oblongo-lanceolatis (semi- ad subpoll.) utrinque attenuatis inte- 

 gerrimis vel inciso-l-2-dentatis, dentibus apiceque cuspide tenui 

 mucronatis ; floribus subsparsis brevipedunculatis ; calycis 5-partiti 

 segmentis e basi lata sensim attenuato-subsetigero-acuminatis corolla 

 hypocraterimorpha albida parum brevioribus ca})sulam ovoideam super- 

 antibus ; corolhe lobis ovalibus tubo 3-4-plo brevioribus, sinu unico 

 paullo profundiore ; stamiuibus tubo supra medium insertis e fauce 

 parum exsertis ; seminibus in loculis 4-5, testa mucilaginosa haud
