538 Abrams : Flora of Southern California 



5-6 nim. long, rather deeply lobed : wings of fruit obtuse at apex, 

 much prolonged above forming a deep rather narrow sinus. 



The narrow bracts and peculiar wings, which resemble the 

 ears of a coyote, distinguish this best from the preceding species ; 

 while the larger flowers readily distinguish both from A, villosa 

 S. Wats., with which they have been confused.

'Delphinium Cuyamacae sp. nov. 



Root rather stout, fasciculately branched 3-5 cm. below the 



surface, the branches not at all fusiform ; stem erect, simple or in 

 large specimens with one or two short slender flowering branches 

 from near the base of the raceme, rather stout and somewhat fis- 

 tulous below, 4-6 dm. high, pale-green and cinereous with a fine 

 close puberulence : basal leaves on very stout cinereous-puberu- 

 lent petioles 6-9 tm. long, dissected into rather broadly linear 

 lobes, 2.5-3 ^"^' broad, densely puberulent beneath, less so above ; 

 stem-leaves on closely erect stoutish petioles, similar to the basal 

 but becoming smaller and more dissected : raceme simple, narrow, 

 rather dense above, the lower scattered flowers on pedicels about 

 2 cm. long, the upper ones on pedicels about i cm. long : sepals 

 purple, puberulent without, the lower oval, 8 mm. long, the lat- 

 eral broadest above the middle, acutish, slightly exceeding the 

 lower; spur straight or nearly so, 3-4 mm. longer than the blade 

 and about 2 mm. broad at the upper end, gradually tapering : 

 lower petals rose -purple, their claws slender, 6 mm. long, the 

 blades rounded in outline, 5 mm. broad, usually cleft to the 

 middle, ciliate on the margin and with a tuft of whitish hairs on 

 the back ; upper petals purple except the lower whitish margin, 7 

 mm. long, 3 mm. broad at the oblique apex : ovary and imma- 

 ture capsules nearly glabrous : mature fruit not seen. 



Apparently closely related to D. Hanseni Greene, from which 



it is best distinguished by the character of its pubescence and 

 purple flowers.

"^Acrolasia Davidsoniana sp. nov. 



Stems slender, erect, simple below, 3-4 dm. high : leaves lin-
