REVISION OF CAPNOREA 45 
are longer and much narrower than those of its northern allies, 
being oblong, obtuse or retuse, narrowed to a long linear petiole 
(probably never broad as in Watson’s plate); their surface, and 
also that of the sepals, is sparingly pubescent with short stiff 
spreading hairs, these less sparse along the margins, which, 
however, can hardly be described as ciliate, though appearing 
so by the projection beyond the margin of hairs, the insertion 
of which is intro-marginal. The lobes of the lilac-purple 
corollas are ovate, obtuse, about as long as the cylindric tube. 
Good specimens of the species are in the U. S. Herbarium 
and in mine, from the original station near Carson City (where — 
it was obtained by Watson in 1868), by M. E. Jones, 1897, and 
C. F. Baker, 1 June, 1902. The latter remarks upon it as 
“common in moist grassy places about thickets, in King’s 
Cañon, near Carson City.” Mr. ©. F. Sonne, formerly of 
Truckee, used to distribute good material of it from that 
vicinity, and Mr. Austin often gathered it in Plumas County, 
both these last stations within the Californian boundary, but 
east of the Sierra Nevada, and therefore in the Great Basin. 
4. C. LEPoRINA. Rootstock not seen: leaves depressed and 
rosulate, thick and succulent, lanceolate, long-petioled, glabrous 
or nearly so, excepting a short hairiness along the margin: large 
outer sepal ovate, the others oblong or even spatulate-oblong, 
very obtuse, or some retuse, glabrous except for a short appressed- 
ciliate hairiness of the margins: corolla with broad subcam- 
panulate tube and short rounded spreading lobes : anthers round- 
oval; filaments glabrous: capsule large, surpassing the calyx, 
very villous at summit. 
nown to me only in specimens collected by Mr. Parish, in 
May, 1882, at Rabbit Springs in the Mojave Desert, southern 
California, The specimens show only a few withered corollas; 
but I can not doubt that its affinities are with this group. 
5. C.strigosa. P dicul 1 stem 1 to 2 inches 
high from a much longer and deep-seated fusiform root, the
