could wonder if it were to embrace four times the 60 species 
that Ceanothus holds. 
Lupinus, upon Eschscholtzia territory, presents us with nearly 
or quite 140 species; Eriogonum 150 at the least, and Trifolium 
with more than 100, though the latter does not accompany the 
poppies at all to one of their favorite fields, the extensive desert 
plains. 
These are a few instances out of many that might be cited to 
show it both reasonable and philosophical to expect even further 
additions to the present list of Eschscholtzia species. A great 
part of its territory has not yet been half explored botanically. 
The investigation of the genus will continue for many decades 
come—doubtless even for centuries ; and, for a time, if not 
for always, the present effort, incomplete everywhere, and faulty 
in many respects, will nevertheless be found stimulating and 
helpful.
