178 PITTONIA. 
same year ; this fragment being mounted along with the type 
of the very different P. leptander. 
25. E. zLEGANS. More slender than the last, also more nearly 
acaulescent, the narrow leaves acutish and more distinctly 
callous at tip; the narrow petals somewhat broader and in- 
clining to be obovate and with a more distinct claw, the 
corolla in expansion only rotate above a short but distinct 
turbinate base: stamens not only not numerous but un- 
commonly few, and short, scarcely reaching to the base of 
the stigmas, and with merely oblong anthers short in pro- 
portion; no filaments broader than spatulate-linear and 
little wider at the obtuse or retuse summit than the anther; 
carpels more nearly moniliform, with shorter more finely 
wrinkled joints, and glabrous. 
San Emidio, Kern Co., 26 March, 1893, and perhaps the 
same at Panorama Heights, Bakersfield, in the same county, 
the same year, both by Miss Eastwood. 
26. P. HoRRIDULUS. Slender, 5 to 8 inches high, crinite- 
hirsute both as to short leafy branches and foliage and long 
scapiform peduncles: corollas yellow, 1 inch broad, but the 
petals spreading only from below the middle, their long 
claws forming a turbinate base to the corolla: filaments 
narrowly linear, slightly wider toward the summit, yet not 
as wide as the anthers: carpels about 16, in maturity # 
inch long including the short style, and long linear hirtel- 
lous stigmas, the whole seminiferous portion crinite-hirsute 
with spreading hairs and strongly constricted, the joints 
about 6, rounded on the back and of oval outline, marked 
with several prominent straight rather turgid ridges. 
This species, remarkable on account of its densely long- 
hairy carpels, was obtained in Fresno Co., somewhere be- 
tween Sequoia and Sanger Mills, May, 1894, by Miss East- 
wood ; the type specimens in Herb. Calif. Acad.
