166 PITTONIA. 
linear, acutish, rather strongly hirsute, most so marginally, 
peduncles copiously and stiffly hirsute with spreading hairs: 
corolla an inch broad, saucer-shaped, deciduous: stamens 
of the outer series with short obcordate filaments: carpels 
15 or 20, an inch long, siliquiform, seldom even torulose, 
seedless except externally, that is, within the cavity formed 
by union of the whole circle of carpels, rarely torulose and 
breaking into 1-seeded joints, almost hispidly hirsute dor- 
sally, the carpels at length separating and becoming some 
what divergent: stigmas subulate-linear. 
Bluffs along the seashore at San Simeon, southern Cali- 
fornia, Brandegee, June, 1889. A fragment in Herb. Calif. 
Acad. from Santa Rosa Island, Brandegee, may perhaps be 
the same. It is mounted on sheet n. 2753, along with what 
are the type specimens of P. ornithopus. P. capsularis differs 
from P. Californicus as much by the very different quantity — 
and quality of its pubescence, as by the character of its fruit. 
5. P. Perrinus. Size and habit of P. Californicus, more 
slender, not fleshy: leaves lance-linear, tapering gradually 
to the summit, there ending bluntly in a broad callosity, the 
margins hirsute, the surface sparsely so: peduncles rather 
slender and somewhat strongly hirsute with spreading hairs: 
corollas saucer-shaped: filaments all spatulate-oblong, obtuse 
under the anthers: carpels about 10 to 14, shorter and much — 
more slender than in P. Californicus, becoming free at sum- 
mit and somewhat divergent in maturity, merely torulose, 
dark-brown, sparsely pilose, lightly carinate-nerved, obscurely 
somewhat tuberculate, the joints 6 or 7. : 
At San Pedro, Los Angeles Co., May, 1889, Brandegee, bas 
Herb. Calif. Acad. Specimens nearly past flowering, well 17 
fruit. Distinct from P. Californicus, by its narrow, callous- 
tipped foliage, very hirsute peduncles, etc., as well as small 
fruits. Fresh specimens, or such as are well in flower, may 
enable a better characterization of the stamens.
