Douglasii. The leaves are extremely narrow, and sometimes 

 have no side lobes; in other cases they are pinnate or even 

 somewhat bipinnate. The flowers are a pale dirty rose colour, 

 and stand on stalks much longer than the leaves. Each petal has 

 its base bordered with long hairs. 



It is a hardy annual, and requires the same treatment as Col- 

 linsias and Nemophila insignis. If sown in the autumn, it flowers 

 in May; if sown in the spring, it flowers during the summer. 



It is tolerably pretty, but of less interest than L. Douglasii. 

 The collector who found it called it L. pulchella, a name which 

 is only calculated to mislead.
