14. ESCHSCHOLTZIA, Cham. (Dedicated by Chamisso to Dr. J. F. 



Eschscholtz, his companion in the scientific expedition under Kotzebue, during 



which the original of this familiar genus was by them collected. Menzies had 



collected it long before.) — Pacific N. American low annuals, or the original 



species perennial, pale and glaucescent, mainly glabrous ; with petioled leaves 



dissected into narrow linear-spatulate to filiform lobes, and (normally) yellow 



pedunculate flowers, in spring and summer. Watery juice of herbage with odor 



like that of hydrochloric acid, that of root yellowish. Cotyledons of the common 



species notched and in germination 2-cleft. — Cham, in Nees, Hora? Phys. Berol.

 branching roots, at length a foot or two high and leafy-stemmed : petals flabelliform, inch

 Brandegee's observations on tlie intergradation of these plants are substantiated by specimens, the 

 general reduction of forms so different to one species is imdesirable. 



4 Add syn. E. covipacta, Walp. Rep. i. 116, a species recently restored by Prof. E. L. Greene, 

 who regards it as strictly annual. E. tenuisecta, Greene, Pittonia, 1. 169, is a form of the same. 

 E. Cniifornicum, as widely drawn by Dr. Gray, sliould probably include also the following species, 

 based largely upon vegetative and doubtfully trustworthy characteristics. E. leptnndra, Greene, 

 Pittonia, i. 169, a very glaucous form with .sliort and ratlier broail leaf-segments. (Neither the 

 number of stamens nor the length of the anthers furnishes a satisfactory distinction.) E. cucullata, 

 Greene, Erythea, ii. 120, a maritime form with leaves " compact and small, all the divisions broad, 

 when young strongly cucullate-incurved and even in age noticeably so." E. glauca, Greene, Pittonia, 

 i. 45, a glaucous form with delicate foliage.
