entire appendages, the flabelliform bifid blade with a linear tooth on 

 each side : cap?ule equalling the calyx, oblong-ovate, on a carjiophure 

 lA- lines long. — Snnunit of the Rocky i\I()Uiitains, Biitish Columbia ; 

 collected by Prof. J. Macoun, August, 18'J0. 



MiMULUS (Eu.MiMULus) FiLiCAULis. A dwarf annual with very 

 slender and thread-like lax stems, 1 to 4 inches high, simjile or nearly 

 so, sparsely glandular-pubescent : leaves thin and nerveless, entire, ob- 

 lanceolate or oblong or the lowest obovate, obtuse, narrowed to a very 

 short petiole: flowers on long pedicels, the narrowly obKnig or tur- 

 binate calyx 3 lines long, acutely and unequally toothed ; corolla 

 funnelform with a nearly equally lobed limb, 7 to 9 lines long, bright 

 rose-color in various shades, with more or less of purple and yellow in 

 the throat and tube. — Collected by J. W. Congdon on Snow Creek. 

 Mariposa County, California, in June, 1800. Near 31. Pahneri, from 

 which it differs in its much more slender and less branching habit, the 

 leaves more narrowed at base, the calyx-teeth acuter, and the corolla 

 different in shape and coloring. 



Cladothkix cryptantha. Apparently annual, canescent through- 

 out with a fine dense much branched pubescence, slender, repeatedly 

 branched somewhat di- or trichotomously : leaves alternate, or sub- 

 opposite at the forks, ovate to obovate, 4 to 6 lines long or less, on 

 slender petioles : flowers in close clusters of 2 to 5, involucrate and 

 more or less enclosed by two or more sessile floral leaves which are 

 united below into a somewhat indurated cup ; bracts and bractlets 

 minute; sepals thin, ^ line long: ntricle included, thin and hyaline, 

 obtuse, the 2-lobed stigma nearly sessile. — Collected by Dr. C. C. 

 Parry at Colton, California, in 1881 (n. 274), and by Mr. C. R. 

 Orcutt in November, 1890 (n. 218G), at Causo Creek in San Diego 

 County. 



Eriogonum (Ganysma) MINUTIFLORU5I Of the E. ptcsiUum group, 

 very slender, G inches high or less, diffusely branching, glabrous, ex- 

 cepting the small ovate rosulate leaves which are densely white-tomen- 

 tose on both sides, becoming less tomentose above; bracts minute; 

 peduncles filiform, divaricately spreading, 3 to 8 lines long; involucres 

 very small (t line long), broadly turhinate-campanulate, purplish: 

 perianth yellow, minutely puberulent, very small. — Found by Mr. 

 C. R. Orcutt in the desert region of San Diego County, California, 

 April, 1890. Resembling E. subreniformr, but the leaves not reni- 

 form nor cordate, and the smaller flowers more pubescent. 



EniOGONrn deserticola. Apparently an annual of the same 

 group (base and foliage unknown), tall, several times dichotomously
