HYDROPHYLLACE^E. 



2. NEM6PHILA, Nutt. 



N. Menziesii, Hook. & Aux., p. 156. Apparently tliis produces either cleistogamous or 

 small and self-fertilized fiuwers at certain seasons. N. inodasta, Kellogg, Proc. Calif. Acad, 

 vii. 93 (1877), by the description, should be this species. 



3. ELLtSIA, L. 



B. chrysanthemifolia, Benth., p. 1.58. Add syn. : Eucn/pta chrj/santhemifolia, Greene, 

 Bull. Calif. Acad. i. 200. Originals of Nuttall's two s])ecies, of coll. Gambel (ticketed 

 "Angeles"), are cjuite alike, with finely dissected leaves. Exclude the syn. of Torr. in Ives 

 Colorado Exp., which belongs to the following. 



E. Torreyi, Gr.w. Weak and diffuse, with long iuternodes : leaves pinnately parted into 

 oblong sinuatc-pinnatifid divisions (half or full inch long), the upper usually sessile by a con- 

 spicuously auriculate-dilated insertion : racemes sparsely few-flowered : calyx equalling the 

 small corolla and surpassing the capsule. — Proc. Am. Acad. xx. .302. Phucelia micranthaf 

 var. hipinnatijida, Torr. in Ives Colorado Exp. Bot. 21. — S. Arizona, Yampai Valley near 

 the Colorado, Newberri/. Mountains near Tucson, in shade of rocks, Priiujle. 



Var. Orcuttii. Coarser and taller : upper leaves merely pinnatifid with inci.sed or 

 toothed lobes : calyx in fruit still more an)pliate, becoming four lines in diameter. — Eucnjpta 

 paniculata, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. 1. c. — Northern borders of Lower California, 

 Orcutt. 



5. PHACELIA, Juss. 



§ 1. EUPHACELIA, p. 158. 



P. Pringlei, Gray. Next after P. namatoides, p. 158. More slender and widely branched, 

 glandular-pubescent, little over a span high : leaves linear with tapering base, the lower 

 opposite, all shorter than the slender and strict racemiform inflorescence : sei)a!s linear, about 

 half the length of the rotate-campanulate blue corolla, longer than the globose capsnle : 

 seeds angled and not hollowed ventrally. — Proc. Am. Acad. xvii. 22-3. — Mountains of 

 N. California, near the sources of the Sacramento, PriVy/e, and (in the same district?) 

 Parrji. 



P. malvaefolia, Cham., has now been detected at various points from the coast of Oregon 

 to Monterey. Next to this, 



P. Rattani, Gkay. Smaller throughout, beset with slender but almost equally .stinging 

 bristles : leaves ovate or oval, with ba.se truncate or barely sul)cordate, incisely somewhat 

 lobcd and crenate, only the lower palmately veined at base : spikes slender : calyx of four spatu- 

 late and one larger obovate sc])als . corolla hardly over 2 lines long, whitish : stamens and 

 style included : seeds not unlike those of P. maliuvfolia but only half tiio size, less carinate 

 ventrally. — Along streams, N. W. California, Lake Co , and Bussian H'lvo.r, Pnt/mi, Mrs. 

 Cumin, to S. W. Oregon, Howell. — Seeds, as in all the preceding species, pp. 158, 159, des- 

 titute of ventral excavation with median ridge, which is common in the following. 



The subdivision -t— +- -f—, beginning at foot of p. 159, and ending near the foot of p. 161, 

 is here revised and augmented. 



•f— -1— -i— Leaves from simple (ovate-oblong or narrower) and pinnately dentate or lobed to pin- 

 nately compound: flowers crowded in the scorpioid inflorescence. 



++ Seeds cymbiform and the concave face divided by a strong and salient longitudinal ridge: sepals 

 uniform, entire.
