REVISION OF ROMANZOFFIA. 39 
lous, the calyx even more so: corolla open-funnelform, 4 inch 
long: anthers oval: fruiting pedicels 1 inch long or more, widely 
spreading: capsule obovoid, obtuse, little exceeding the sepals.

April and May, 1884, W. N. Suksdorf. This has the stout rigid 
habit of R. Californica, but is more bulbous than ordinary 
R. Sitchensis ; while by its strong pubescence it stands alone in 
the genus. The type-specimens are in the U. S. Herbarium. 
** Middle Californian species, not bulbous at base; probably not 
perennial. 
8. R. CALIFORNICA. Plant from 3 inches to nearly a foot 
high, with a few scattered crisped hairs on lower part of stems 
and petioles, otherwise glabrous; flowering stems more or less 
geniculate and reclining: leaves from more than an inch to 
barely 3 inch broad, the very lowest subreniform and evenly 
9-lobed, the greater number of quite orbicular outline, 7-lobed 
and with a very narrow or closed sinus, only some of the floral 
5-lobed, or 3-lobed: corollas funnelform, 4 inch long: pedicels 
of fruiting raceme not greatly elongated, divaricately spreading : 
capsule oblong-ovoid, fully twice as long as the sepals. 
Plant of the Californian Coast Range, inhabiting moist ledges 
looking northward, all the way from San Mateo County to per- 
haps Oregon; represented in collections of Bigelow, Kellogg and 
Harford, C. F. Baker and others, and always hitherto referred 
to R. Sitchensis, from which it differs greatly in habit, and con- 
spicuously by its wanting that scaly-bulb-like development at 
base exhibited by all high-northern and subalpine species ; pro- 
ducing instead rather large tubers among the fibrous roots, and 
occasional small bulblets in the axils of leaves and bracts. 
When Menzies, almost a century ago (1793), collected, at 
Trinity Bay, the first Romanzofia specimens ever seen by a 
botanist, they must have been of this species, or else of one 
which is still unknown and undescribed. It cannot have been
