PLATYSTEMON AND ITS ALLIES. 181 
On the San Antonio River in the Santa Lucia Mountains, 
May, 1897, Miss Eastwood, in Herb. Calif. Acad. A large 
plant, with small flowers mainly red. 
30. P. Mrnpocinus. A foot high, slender but rather 
rigid both as to the short leafy decumbent branches and 
thrice longer scapiform peduncles: leaves rather narrowly 
linear, 13 or 2 inches long, distinctly callous-tipped, only 
sparsely and obscurely hairy with short white hairs, those 
of the peduncles scarcely more elongated and obvious: 
corolla cream-color, but each petal tipped with yellow, all 
of oblong-obovate outline, the 3 inner distinctly unguicu- 
late and the whole corolla slightly turbinate at base: fila- 
ments extremely unequal, the outer and shorter sharply 
though not deeply notched, the inner nearly truncate under 
the long linear anthers: carpels about 9 or 10, short, their 
short styles and very long filiform stigmas together longer 
than the body, this much constricted, about 5-jointed, light- 
green and glaucous in full maturity and invested by the 
dry corolla and stamens, the joints with a distinct though 
not heavy midrib and a few ill-defined lateral ridges, these 
more or less connected by smaller transverse wrinkles. 
Cahto, Mendocino Co., May, 1902, Miss Eastwood, in 
Herb. Calif. Acad. 
31. P. HETERANDER. Subacaulescent, 6 to 10 inches 
high: leaves narrowly linear, erect, 2 inches long, callous- 
tipped, and softly hirsute as are also the long scapiform 
peduncles: carolla saucer-shaped, less than an inch broad, 
white and yellow : stamens in each flower very diverse, the 
outer and shorter with cuneate-obovate to oblanceolate 
lacerate-toothed or entire filaments which, under the anther, 
taper to a longer or shorter point, or this taper-point obsolete 
and the anther sessile on a merely acute terminus of the
