SOME PHACELIA SEGREGATES. 23 
though it has the linear sepals of that species, by which mark, 
along with others, it is distinguished from its nearest relative, 
P. Davidsonii. 
P. NEMOPHILOIDES. Stouter than P. Davidsonit, larger, the 
spreading branches covering an area of 13 feet more or less; 
herbage strigose-pubescent, the branches with a more minute 
soft-spreading and glandular hairiness; leaves all oblong, entire, — 
twice the length of their short petioles, these dilated and flat 
throughout: long racenes mostly solitary: sepals spatulate- 
oblong, one of twice the breadth of the others, all hispidulous: 
corollas } inch broad or more, campanulate, apparently white 
as to all but the upper half of the lobes, which are purple: cap- 
sules ovoid, 2-seeded. 
Southern California, on the San Bernardino Mountains ; dis- 
tributed chiefly by Mr. Parish, whose more recent specimens are 
labelled P. Davidsonii, var. grandiflora. Its large corollas, 
merely purple-spotted, recall those of certain species of Nemo- 
phila, and are too unlike those of P. Davidsonii, and the calyx, 
and also the foliage, are different. 
The concluding one of this series of segregates is of the group 
of typical species of the genus. 
P. BIOLETTII. Perennial, 2 feet high, leafy at base, the almost 
naked stem loosely branching, sparsely hispid throughout: leaves 
thin, 6 or 8 inches long including the slender hispid and rather ~ 
long peliole, simple and elliptic-lanceolate, or occasionally with 
a pair of leaflets at base of the main leaflet, this very acute, 
entire, strigose-hispid on both faces, most so above: spiciform 
racemes short and rather dense, mostly in threes at the ends of 
slender peduncles; sepals oblong-linear, small, scarcely enlarged 
in age, loosely hispid ; corolla small, lilac: capsule small, ovate ; 
acute, strigose-pubescent, maturing a solitary ovate acute seed. 
Sequoia Cañon (which is, I believe, among the Oakland Hills) 
July, 1891, F. T. Bioletti. Related to P. nemoralis, Greene, but 
with excellent specific characters, and not known except in a 
single but fine specimen.
