SOME PHACELIA SEGREGATES. 19 
late, attenuate to a filiform base, hispidulous throughout ; corolla 
nearly funnelform ; stamens exserted: capsule large, more than 
half as long as the calyx, ovate, acute, 4-seeded; seeds ovate- 
elliptic. 
Known only from some uncertain station in the mountains of 
Kern Co., California; collected by Palmer and Wright in 1888 
and bearing, in my set of that collection, the number 205 ; prob- 
ably distributed for P. ramosissima. 
P. POLYSTACHYA. Near P. suffrutescens, probably also suffru- 
tiscent, the stout decumbent stems several feet long, villous- 
pubescent and softly hispid, somewhat freely branched from 
above the middle, the branches all short and twice dichotomous, 
the very short geminate and widely divergent spikes very nu- 
merous: leaves half as long as in P. suffrutescens and of only 
half as many pinne, otherwise quite similar, sepals spatulate, 
hispid and with also a close villous short indument: corolla 
small: stamens exserted. 
At Witch Oreek, San Diego Co., Calif., R. D. Anderson, 1893. 
I have always regarded Parry’s P. suffrutescens of the Santa Bar- 
bara region one of the most valid species of the genus, though 
Gray reduced it; and here, from the border of Lower California, 
we have its analogue, though a more distinct species by charac- 
ters of foliage, inflorescence, and of the individual flower. 
P. SUBSINUAaTA. Perennial? slender, pale and subcinereous 
with a close appressed pubescence, a few short hispid hairs on 
the branches and petioles and becoming more numerous on the 
long naked peduncle and pedicels the twice forked cyme: leaves 
12 inches long, of oval outline but deeply and sinuately pin- 
natifid, the broad lobes rounded, obtuse, entire: spikes very 
short; sepals oblanceolate, obtuse, finely appressed-pubescent and 
rather strongly hispid-ciliate: corolla apparently open-funnel- 
orm; stamens long exserted. . 
_ The only representation extant of this has been in my her- 
barium for more than fifteen years, awaiting further material ; 
for this is a mere branch with leaves and flowers. It was ob-
