deeply corrugated at right angles to the length and rather 
irregularly, no reticulations across the corrugations, or scarcely 
visible, seeds dark brown. 
Compared with £. pusilla the flowers are a little larger, 
yellow, as long as capsule; seeds four times as large 
corrugated and scarcely reticulated, while the other has seeds 
spirally corrugated, black, with pits almost exactly those of a 
honeycomb and seeds contracted at each end, the seeds of this 
species are narrower and less pointed; the pubescence is also 
different. 
Phacelia pinetorum n. sp. Habit and general appearance of 
P. micrantha, as slender but less leafy, nearly erect, but rather 
widely branched, three to eight inches high, first pair of leaves 
ovate, long-petioled, entire, small, lower leaves simply pinnate with 
oblong lobes which are not widened at apex, lower petioles not 
margined or scarcely so and as long as the blade, uppermost 
leaves oblong-linear, six to twelve lines long, entire or tridentate 
at apex, sessile, scarcely enlarged at base; pedicels one to four 
times the calyx, occasionally minutely glandular, always hirsute- 
hispid as well as the calyx; the leaves are sparsely hirsute 
pubescent and not glandular; calyx lobes lanceolate or ovate, 
narrower at apex or acutish, equaling or twice as long as the 
short campanulate, white or blue corolla; appendages about one- 
third the distance’ from the base of filaments to base of lobes and 
in pairs; capsule globular; seeds few oblong or ovate to oval, 
very deeply favose, not transversely corrugated nor tuberculate; 
calyx enlarging. 
Under pines in the Deep Creek Mountains at 8000 feet 
altitude, growing in situations similar to Polemonium micranthum, 
June 12, 1891. 
Gilia pentstemonotdes n. sp. Czespitose from a much branched 
perennial root; leaves linear-oblanceolate, acute, two inches long, 
densely fascicled at the summit of the root branches gradually 
contracted into a slender petiole, entire, rather thick, glabrous; 
paniculate stems four inches high, but proper stem an inch long, 
ith short racemes arising from the axils of the scarcely 
smaller stem-leaves which are three to five in number; upper
