224 PITTONTIA. 
long apiculation: seeds yellow-granulate, the reticulation irreg- 
ular, not distinctly favose. 
The type of this spécies is from along the sand dunes of 
Point Pinos, Monterey, Calif., and the specimens are chiefly of 
my own collecting in May, 1895, no duplicates having been dis- 
tributed, all being preserved in my own herbarium. I have 
another of the same, but this wholly glabrous, received from 
Mr. Heller, who collected it on 8 April, 1903, and distributed it 
for Æ. Californica, from which the whiteness of its coating of 
bloom, the breadth and the overlapping of its leaf-segments, and 
the different shape of its buds mark it as distinct. On my firs 
study of the specimens, I labelled all mine Æ. maritima because 
of their being glaucous like that, and also pubescent; but a 
more careful comparison brings out the fact that the nature of 
the pubescence is here quite different ; that the buds have 
-another configuration, and that even the foliage, in all but its 
whiteness with bloom, is of another description. The variety 
recedens grows on the verge of the sand hills and, notwithstand- 
ing its very different aspect, is but a variety. The case of var. 
anemophila is different. It is known only from Point Sur, 4 
headland thirty or forty miles to the southward of Point Pinos, 
where it has been collected only by Mr. Brandegee and in late 
Summer specimens which are rather poor. Both its buds and 
seeds are so unlike those of the genuine Æ. Mensiestana that | 
expect it to be proven a species some day. 
Menzies, reputed to be the first botanist to have seen and 
collected an Eschscholtsia, is said to have obtained his speci- 
mens at Monterey. It is not pretended that the plant here 
named in his honor is the species which he collected. There 
are upland species back from the shore that are very different 
from this ; and any one of these may have been his plant.
