A. vagans, Gray, 1- c. Very diffuse, sparsely setose-hirsute ami often glandular, vary- 

 int? to nearly glabrous : leaves from lanceolate to oblong-ovate, thiekisli : tiowers compara- 

 tively large fhalf inch long) : sepals or at least the large and mostly oblong upper one 

 equalling the tube of the corolla; the others linear : style slender, as long as the capsule.

11, t. 11.— California, connnon through the western part of the State. 



Var Bolanderi, Gray, 1- c, a form with broader and tiiinner leaves, those of the tor- 

 tile branchlets orbicu'lar, and unusually large posterior sepal, grows mainly in the shade 

 of Redwoods. A. Breweri, var. ocaUfoUum, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c. 375, from the upper 

 part of the Sacramento Kiver, may be a depauperate form of this, with shorter calyx, 

 approaching the following. 



A. Breweri, Gray, 1- c. Slender, at first erect, a foot or two high, minutely or softly vis- 

 cid-pubescent : leaves from oblong-Hnear to oval (half to an inch long), obtuse : pedicels 

 shorter than the calyx: flowers small; the tube of the corolla (only 3 lines long) con- 

 siderably longer than the moderately unequal sepals, rather narrowly saccate at base: 

 style subulate, glandular, at length strongly deflexed, rather shorter than tiie capsule. — 

 California, common from Lake Co. to Tlumas Co. and northward. 



^ __ Peduncles more conspicuous: tube of the corolla not longer than the widely spreading lips, 

 merely gibbous at base : the weakly tortile branchlets bearing small leaves. 



A. Nuttallianum, Bentll. Softly viscid-pubescent, sometimes glabrous below, at 

 length diffusely much branched, 1 to 3 feet high : leaves ovate or subcordate (tlie largest 

 an inch long), nearly all distinctly petioled : peduncles or at least the lower ones longer 

 than the flowers, sometimes longer than the leaf and disposed to be tortile : sepals shorter 

 than (or the ovate or oval posterior one equalling) the tube of the violet-colored corolla 

 (this 2 or 3 lines long) : palate very prominent : seeds almost alately costate.,— DC. Prodr. 

 X. 502; Gray, 1. c. — Common through S. California, near San Uiego, &c. 



Var. effusum. Gray. Slender stems climbing over bushes by tortile leafy branchlets, 

 reaching 4 or 5 feet high : filiform peduncles mostly twice the length of the leaves : ribs 

 of the seeds less wing-like. — Bot. Calif, i. 622. — S. E. California, in the xMohave region, 

 Parri/, Lenimon, Palmer. 



A. Kingii, Watson. Slender, mostly erect, a span to a foot or more high, somewhat 

 hairy at base, above nearly glabrous : leaves from narrowly lanceolate to linear; the upper- 

 most minute : pedicels at length equalling or exceeding the sparsely glandular calyx : corolla 

 small (2 or 3 lines long, dull white) ; its tube half the length of the linear-oblong poste- 

 rior sepal and about equalling the other sepals ; tlie lips small : persistent style short and 

 subulate, glabrous, half the length of the slightly oblique globular capsule: seeds favose- 

 tuberculate. — Bot. King, 21-5, t. 21, fig. 1-4. — N. W. Nevada to Utah, Watson, Lemmon, &c. 



§ 4. MAURA.NDKLLA, Gniy, 1. c. Capsiile and calyx equal or nearly so : seeds 

 as in preceding : corolla with prominent palate partly or quite closing the orifice : 

 Iterhs with entire or lobed leaves (all but the lower alternate), destitute of pre- 

 hensile branchlets, but mostly climbing by tortile filiform petioles or peduncles, 

 or by both, mainly glabrous. — Maurandia% Antirrhlni florae., Benth. in DC. I.e. 



* Annuals, with mostly lanceolate or linear short-petioled leaves, but long and filiform prehensile 

 peduncles: calyx rather shorter than the globose capsule. 



A. strictuni. Gray, 1- c. Erect, nearly simple, a foot or two high : lowest leaves ovate- 

 lanceolate ; upper ones linear, or the upper floral filiform, much shorter than the tortile race- 

 mose peduncles: corolla violet-purple (nearly half inch long), with hairy palate and gib- 

 bous base: capsule crustaceous, tipped with a straight style of equal length. — Mmimndia 

 stricta. Hook. & Am. Bot. Beech. 375 ; Benth. 1. c. — California, near Santa Barbara, 

 JJoiLfjUis, Drcur-r. 



A. Cooperi, Gray, 1. c. Climbing 2 to 4 feet high by the long filiform peduncles (of 2 or 

 3 inclies in length) : very slender stems at length mucli branched: lowest leaves ovate or 

 oblong; the others linear; upper floral minute: corolla brigiit yellow (half inch long), 

 conspicuously saccate at base, with hairy palate : style deciduous from the nearly mem- 

 branaceous capsule: seeds rough-rugose and with 3 or 4 corky ribs. — Ravines near Fort 

 Mohave, S. E. California, C'oajier, Alincndiiu;cr. S. Utah, P(ini/.
