418 SUPPLEMENT. 



flowers shortpeolicelled, less crowded or sparse in the fruiting spikes : corolla rotate-cam- 

 panulate, about lialf as large as in the preceding, light blue, a little exceeding the calyx : 

 capsule oblong, sliorter than the spatulate-dilated (3 or 4 lines long) fructiferous sepals, 

 20-30-seeded : seeds oval-oblong, strongly favose-reticulated between the corrugations. —

P. bicolor, TouK., p. 170. Extends northward as far as to the plains of Eastern Ore-

P. gymnoclada, Tokr., p. 170. Specific name not significant. P. Cooperce, Gray, Proc. 

 Am. Acad. xv. 49, of which only a single specimen is known, sent by jVrs. Elhrood Cooper 

 from Santa Barbara, may w-ell be only a form of this, perhaps not collected in that district. 

 — A wholly peculiar species of this section is the following : — 



P. pachyphylla, Gray. Stout, a foot or less high, with widely spreading branches, pu- 

 bescent and very viscid : leaves thick, large (inch or two in diameter), roundish and subcor- 

 date, repand or entire, on stout petioles usually of equal length, uppermost subsessile : spikes 

 dense, pedunculate : corolla campanulate, about 3 lines long, probably blue or purple, a little 

 longer than the calyx: capsule globular, many-seeded, equalling the oblong-linear sepals: 

 seeds oval-oblong, half a line in length. — Proc. Am. Acad xix. 88. — Alkaliue soil in the 

 Mohave Desert, S. E. California, Palmer, Parish, Lennnon, Jones. 



9. ROMANZOFFIA, Cham. 



R,, Unalaschkensis, Cham., p. 172. — This has been collected, quite out of sixpposed 

 range, at Big Plat, Del Norte Co., N. California, by W. II. Sliocklei/ and Mrs. Ames, 1880. 



R. Sitchensis, Bong., is commonly white-flowered, and with slight pubescence of calyx 

 and capsule. 



12. NAMA, L. p. 173, add : Gray in Hemsl. Biol. Centr.-Am. Bet. ii. 360, 

 for the mcst recent revi.sion of the genus. Stamens not rarely with adnate por- 

 tion of the filaments dilated into more or less free membranaceous margins, which 

 answer to the internal appendages of the PhaceUece, those in one or two species 

 extended above into a free tooth on each side of filament ! No hypogynous 

 disk, but base of calyx obscurely adnate to base of ovary in the original N. Jamai- 

 censc and some others, in N. stenocorpum calyx-tube and capsule much united ! 

 Styles sometimes united below. Valves of capsule either membranaceous or 

 coriaceous, sometimes becoming bifid, as in N. Jamaicense. 



N. stenocarpum, Gray, p. 174. (Biol. Centr.-Am. etc., & Proc. Am. Acad, xviii 118.) 

 Calvx adliorcnt to tlie base of the capsule, more or less firmly, sometimes for nearly half the 

 length of the latter ! Styles united at base or even higher, occasionally 3. — Extends to the 

 southeastern border of California. 



N. depressum, Lemmon. After A'^. Coulteri, p. 174. Depressed, repeatedly divaricate- 

 dichotomous and with long naked internodes, cincreous-puborulent : leaves crowded at the 

 summit of the branches, spatulate-lanceolate and tapering into a petiole : flowers short- 

 pedicelled in the forks : corolla narrow and small (2 lines long), purplish, little longer than 

 the calvx : sepals some linear, some spatulate-dilated at apex, equalling or moderately 

 exceeding the oval-oblong membranaceous torose capsule: seeds (quarter of a line long) 

 oval, with obscurely undulate thin and smooth coat. — Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 304. — 

 S. E. California, in the Mohave District near Calico, Lemmon. 



N. pusillum, Lemmon. Next the preceding, exiguous, depressed, soft-pubescent : leaves 

 obovate-spatulate or ovate, abruptly contracted into a petiole of nearly same length (both 

 together only a quarter or half inch long) : flowers subsessile in the forks : corolla salverform 

 and narrow (barely a line and a half long), light rose-color, a little longer than the at length
