tube which is scarcely shorter than the calyx: pyxis ovoid, 
longer than the style, barely exceeding the calyx, circumcissile 
at the lower fourth: seeds two, brown, smooth, slightly winged. 
rf This species may at times have been referred to P. Jata- 
gonica, but Morris in his discriminating paper (Bull. Torr. Club 
2%: 105) on that species and its allies has made it clear that P. 
patagonica is not indigenous within the limits of the United 
States. Using his key, the present species is nearest to P. fas- 
tegzata, from which it is amply distinct. 
Collected by L. N. Goodding at Rioville, Nevada, May 6, 
1902, No. 808a; and by P. B. Kennedy at Moapa, Lincoln 
county, May 12, 1905, No. 1070.
