1904] GOODDING: SOUTHWESTERN PLANTS 59 
light olive-green, 4-6°" high, stout, erect, from a biennial root: 
leaves oblong, deeply toothed and occasionally slightly lobed; 
the lowermost short-petioled, 5—8°™ long, densely tufted about 
the base; the upper sessile and numerous along the stem: inflo- 
rescence a dense spicate thyrsus 1-24 Jong, composed of short 
dense scorpioid cymes (occasionally compound cymes at base ): 
flowers sessile: sepals clavate, 4-5™™ long: corolla white or 
cream colored, narrowly campanulate, 5-7" long, slightly 
hispid without, the lobes short (1™™ long), ovate, obtuse: 
anthers ovate-oblong; filaments slender, exserted half their 
length, inserted low down in the corolla tube; appendages ovate, 
obtuse, united at the base of the filaments: style 2-cleft two- 
thirds its length: capsule globose, slightly 4-lobed, short glan- 
dular-pubescent, 4-seeded. 
The above species seems sufficiently distinct from all other species of 
Phacelia to require no explanatory notes. It grows in the lava fields of 
southern Utah, where it was collected by the writer. It is characterized by 
a deathly sickening odor which may account for the fact that apparently it 
has not been collected or described before. 
PHACELIA Patmerti Torr., Watson, Bot. King 251.—P. integri- 
folia Palmeri Gray, Syn. Fl. 2: 160. 
From a recent collection, made by the writer, at Kernan, Nevada, of P. 
Palmeri, it seems proper that the plant should stand as a species. /. intleg- 
rifolia has entire crenately-toothed leaves, whereas P. Palmeri is deeply 
sinuately lobed and the lobes sinuately toothed. The former also has long 
exserted stamens, while the stamens of the latter are shorter than the corolla. 
There is also a marked difference in the internal appendages of the two 
species.
