1904] EASTWOOD: WESTERN POLEMONIACEAE 445 
beyond the petals, conspicuously exserted even in the bud; 
stigmas small; ovary with one ovule in each cell. 
This is related to WV. cotulacfolia H. & A., to which it may be too closely 
allied. It is distinguished from this species, as I know it, by the glandular 
scabrous pubescence of stem and leaves, the woolly pubescence of bracts 
and calyx, the yellow corollas, the short stamens, and the conspicuously 
exserted style. It was collected at Anderson’s Ranch, Lower Lake, Lake 
county, California, May 11, 1901, by Miss Agnes Bowman, in whose honor it 
is named. Heller's 5638 and 5432 appear to be the same. These were dis- 
tributed as WV. cotulaefolia H. & A. 
y Navarretia pterosperma, sp. nov.—Stems simple, low, 5—-6°™ 
high, glandular pubescent and slightly villous-arachnoid: cauline 
leaves pinnatifid with 5-7 linear-acerose divisions almost as wide 
as the rachis; lower ones petioled, upper sessile and with the 
lower divisions again divided: heads small, about 1.5°™ broad, 
with the bracts broadly ovate in outline, once or twice deeply 
pinnatifid, the divisions linear-acerose, arachnoid on the mar- 
gins (with a good lens): calyx 1°™ long, of five unequal, nar- 
rowly linear, acerose divisions, twice as long as the tube, which 
is thin and membranous between the stout ribs: corolla blue, 
with tube 7™™ long, narrowest at the middle below the inser- 
tion of the stamens, dilated to a base as broad as the funnel- 
form throat; divisions 2.5™™ long, 1™™ wide, oblong, obtuse, 
entire, surpassing the calyx: stamens unequally inserted on short 
filaments, included, not reaching the throat of the corolla; 
anthers white: style short, with short divisions: capsule with 
thin walls through which the brown seeds can be seen: seeds 
flat, oblong or orbicular, winged, 1™™ in diameter, without 
spiracles or mucilage when wet, about five in each cell. 
- This is a rare species on Bodega Point, California, or it was late in the 
season, for few specimens were found edits amid the grass on the bluffs 
above the bay. . It was collected July 4, ! 
It is near V. med/ita Greene, but has ores flowers, bracts less arachnoid 
and more dissected and larger, and seeds more distinctly winged. I noticed 
no odor about this plant when it was fresh, and there is none in the dried 
state. V. med/ita does not lose its odor even when dry, and when the dried 
plants have been wet the odor is quite noticeable, 
‘Gilia collina, sp. nov.—Stems branching, 15°™ high; lower 
part leafy, more or less clothed with cottony wool; inflores-
