ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 225 
ical or oblong-conical, 1 to 14 inches long, more or less gradu- 
ally tapering, usually puberulent: corolla orange, 2 inches broad: 
filaments uncommonly long, as also the stigmas, two of these 
shorter but the 4 attended by as many, or twice as many, that 
are much shorter: torus very large, its funnelform cup-like 
part ł inch long, the firm spreading rim 4 inch wide: pod 3 
inches long, or even longer. 
Maritime, near Monterey and Castroville northward to La 
Honda, California, apparently collected only by Mr. and Mrs. 
Brandegee, April, 1889; specimens in Herb. Calif. Acad., and 
still better ones in Herb. Parish. The plant is as large, and as 
stout, at least in Mr. Parish’s herbarium, as Æ. cucullata, and 
like it in habit, as nearly prostrate in age, etc., yet differing 
totally from that by its fennel-like slenderly cut foliage and a 
fine almost soft minute pubescence. Even the bundles of 
short, and as it were accessory stigmas, often eight of them 
over and above the principal four, seem to occur in all 
the specimens, and must be taken for another specific mark ; 
though this prolification in the pistil is foreshadowed 
in one flower which exhibits four narrowly linear petals 
alternating with the four normal ones; this on sheet n. 2617, 
Herb. Calif. Acad. 
5 E. CUCULLATA, Greene, Eryth, ii. 120. Larger than the 
foregoing in all its parts, the depressed branches forming a mat 
sometimes a yard wide, densely leafy, notably succulent, glab- 
rous, or angles of stem and margins of petioles scabrous-serru- 
late, glaucous: leaves when young somewhat cucullate, in age 
outspread and with divergent segments all rather broad and 
acutish : calyx ovoid, with a stout abrupt apiculation as long as 
the body or even longer, the whole 14 inches long: corolla 24 
inches broad, light-yellow with orange at base: stamens many, 
nearly liguliform filaments and linear anthers of about 
equal length: stigmas 4, unequal: torus-rim + inch broad : 
pod 3 inches long or more, stout: seeds spherical, yellowish 
with a coating similar to the favose reticulation.
