Eastwood : New species of western plants 205 



lo mm. long, i mm. broad near the top, filiform at the base, con- 

 spicuously hispid with fine bristles 3—5 mm. long : corolla pur- 

 plish, veiny, funnel-form, 8 mm. long, the border almost i cm. 

 across ; lobes 2.5 mm. wide, not so long, broad and rounded ; ap- 

 pendages 1.5 mm. above the base of corolla, attached their whole 

 length, I mm., rounded at top, lunate at base : filaments attached 

 at base to the appendages, filiform, together with the small 

 brownish anthers and divisions of the style conspicuously exserted 

 5—6 mm,: style i cm. long, the branches 8 mm.; ovary globular, 

 hispid like the calyx and glandular ; ovules 4 : capsule with two 

 seeds, these brown, ovate, rounded on the dorsal side, keeled on 

 the ventral, 2 mm. long, marked with shallow pits. 



Type collected on Mount Wilson along the trail, Los Angeles 

 County, California, by Fordyce Grinnell, Jr., December 31, 1903. 



It is related most closely to P. hispida Gray, but is distin- 



guished by the racemose instead of paniculate inflorescence, larger 



and more loosely scattered flowers, less dissected leaves, entirely 



different habit of growth, and the conspicuously exserted stamens 



and style. It is a lovely species, perhaps the most beautiful of the 



group to which it belongs. 



^ Polemonium. shastense sp. nov. 



Stems cespitose from a multicipital caudex which is densely 

 clothed with dead petioles, 7 cm. high : stems and leaves pale- 

 green, glandular-pubescent : radical leaves 3-4 cm. long, the 

 petiole gradually dilating downwards, 2 mm. wide at base, rose- 

 colored ; leaflets generally opposite, 15-21, ovate-orbicular but 

 unequal-sided, punctate, about 2 mm. in diameter, slightly cuneate 

 at base and narrowing abruptly to a short petiolule as broad as 



long; rachis channelled, 0.5 mm. wide; cauline leaves few, as 



many as the branchlets, similar to the radical leaves, but with 

 shorter petioles ; inflorescence cymose ; peduncles slender, the 

 lower much longer than the upper ; pedicels 1-3 mm. long : calyx 

 as long as the corolla-tube, 5 mm., campanulate, with oblong 

 obtuse divisions 2 mm. long, a little more than l mm. wide : cor- 

 olla funnel-shaped, white, veined and often tinged with pink, the 

 throat yellow, the tube proper 2 mm. long, the throat 3 mm. 

 long, hairy within, the oblong divisions 6 mm. long, 4 mm. wide : 

 stamens and style exserted from the throat but not from the bud ; 

 filaments 4 mm. long, filiform, hairy at. the insertion; anthers 

 elliptical, obtuse, surpassing the stigmas: stigmas 2-"^, a little 

 more than i mm. long : capsule ellipsoidal, as long as the calyx- 

 tube.
