habit of growth, shape of corolla, and character of stamens 

 and style. The leaves are much narrower, and the calyx 

 divisions vary in length in the same flower and surpass the 

 corolla. This I leave under C . angustijlora, as these small 

 annual Campamilce may be more common than is now 

 supposed and the two species may vary a good deal among 

 themselves. Their season is short, they grow in out-of-the- 

 way places, and they are inconspicuous; so the chances of 

 their discovery and collection are small. 



2. Romneya trichocalyx, sp. no v. 



Plate XI, Figs. 4a-4c. 



Perennial, glaucous and glabrous except for the scattered, spreading setee 

 on the peduncles, rhachis, petioles, and lower margins of the leaves; stems 

 many, suffruticose, laxly spreading from the base as they grow older, leafy, 

 branched: leaves rather thin, with conspicuous venation, ovate-orbicular in 

 outline, variable in size and divisions, pinnately 3-5 parted, the lower divi- 

 sions entire, toothed or lobed, the terminal larger, cuneate, 3-5 cleft; leaves 

 on the peduncle closely surrounding the bud, much smaller, the divisions 

 linear, narrower, more numerous, and more setose-ciliate; petioles flat, 5 

 mm. to 2 cm. long: calyx of three imbricated sepals covered with upwardly 

 appressed, scabrous setse, except near the margins and on the underlapping 

 parts; corolla white, texture crape-like, 8-15 cm. in diameter, variable in the 

 shape, size, and number of the petals; stamens numerous, with linear-oblong 

 anthers and slender filaments, the lower half brownish purple, the upper 

 yellow; styles lo-ii, viscid, incurved; ovary ovoid, densely setose; capsule 

 oblong-ovate, the walls breaking irregularly from the stout, straight ribs of 

 the framework; seeds not seen. 



This has long been included under Romneya Coultei'i, 

 from which it is most markedly distinguished by the setose 

 calyx. There is no doubt of the plant with smooth calyx 

 being true R. Coulteri, since the description and figure of 

 the type confirm it.^ 



Miss Kate E. Cole of Oakland first drew my attention to 

 the fact that there were two kinds of Romneya in cultiva- 

 tion, describing the marked differences between them; but 

 it was not until last fall when I myself saw the two kinds 

 growing side by side in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, 

 that I began to look up the matter.
