150 PITTONIA. 
lance-linear, longer than the anthers: capsules less than $ 
inch long, rhombic-obovoid, stigmas ovate-lanceolate: seeds 
obliquely pyriform. 
The type specimens of this were collected by myself, on 
low sand-hills along the San Joaquin River above Antioch, 
Calif., 17 April, 1887; and Mr. Carl F. Baker has this year 
obtained specimens of it from the original station, though 
small ones. It appears also to have been distributed by Dr. 
Kellogg long ago, from the sandy wastes about Alameda, as 
they existed several decades ago, and where the plant is 
doubiless long since extinct. 
6. H. LuTEoLUM. Rather firmly erect and not particu- 
larly slender, 7 to 10 inches high, the scapes hirsute with 
short ascending hairs: leaves not very narrow, scarcely 2 
inches long, obtuse: corollas yellow, 1 inch broad, cup- 
shaped, the oblong-obovate petals being narrowed to a short 
claw: filaments linear-oblong, twice the length of the 
anthers, or those of the outer series shorter and elliptical: 
stigmas ovate-lanceolate, the capsule } inch long, elliptic 
oblong, scarcely wider above the middle. 
Known only from Ben Lomond, Santa Cruz Co., Calif, 
and from near Castroville, Monterey Co., collected only by 
T. S. Brandegee, in 1889 and 1890. 
7. H. putcuertum, Evidently caulescent, the branches 
with 3 or 4 distinct, and even somewhat remote leafy nodes, 
the peduncles comparatively short; both leaves and pedun- 
cles sparsely hairy: corollas an inch broad, saucer-shaped, 
the 3 outer and broader petals yellow, the three inner nar- 
rower and white, all of obovate outline: stamens indefinitely 
numerous; filaments ligulately dilated from base to neat 
the summit, the dilatation ending truncately a line’s length | 
_ or less below the insertion of the oblong retuse anther: 
stigmas lanceolate.
