Z. Californica ; var. foliis glabellis brevibus oblongis vel ovato-oblongis e basi 

 lata sessilibus, inferioribus denticulatis, superioribus integerrimis ; floribus intense 

 rubris. — Pebbly bed of a mountain torrent on the New Mexican side of the Chiri- 

 cahui Mountains; Sept. (1373.) — This variety of this very showy plant con- 

 siderably resembles the var. latifolia, Bot. Mag. t. 4493.

 Gray, PL Wright. ]). 69. — Sandy soil on the Rio Grande at Dona Ana, New Mexi- 

 co ; July. (1067.) — The same as No. 191 of the former collection. The seeds 

 are fusiform-cylindraceous and smooth, neither striate nor punctate (so that Nut- 

 tail's description of them, in Torr. Sf Gray, FL N. Amer., must refer to those of (E. 

 coronopifolia). 



CE. ALBICAULIS ; var. 1 foliis oblongis sinuato-dentatis vel subpinnatifidis cinereo- 

 puberulis vel glabratis ; ramis junioribus capsulis calycibusque hirsuto-villosis. — 

 Sandy bed of a creek near the copper mines, Aug. (1068.) — The flowers are 

 large ; the tube of the calyx and the petals being an inch long. The scarcely ma- 

 ture pods are rather short for this species ; but the seeds are oblong and perfectly 

 smooth. The calyx in the bud is clothed with long villous hairs, in some specimens 

 very copiously ; so that this plant may be Nuttall's CE. trichocalyx. 



CE. CORONOPIFOLIA, Torr. Sf Gray, FL 1. ]}• 495 ; Gray, PL FeiulL p. 43. Valleys 

 near the copper mines, New Mexico ; Aug. (1069.) — A form with the pods longer 

 than in Fendler's No. 222 (1 - H inches long); but the seeds, as in that plant, are
