ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 227 
in its reduced summer stage of development. The best herba- 
rium specimens known to me were gathered by Mr. 8. B. Parish 
from his own garden, where he cultivated it from seeds sent by 
me and from which he has distributed it, I hope, somewhat 
widely. 
£. glauca is one of the largest of the genus, in combined 
beauty of foliage and flower surpassing all the others; and it. 
may possibly be cultivated at present here and there; for I sent 
a considerable packet of seeds of it to one of our American 
commercial seedsmen; and, although | never heard of its arrival,

7. E. DEBILIS. Perennial, with many weak apparently re- 
clining slender branches nearly a yard long, sparsely leafy, freely 
owering ; herbage glabrous, glaucous, purplish: early leaves not 
seen, those of the branches small, of few and closely approxi- 
mate linear acute segments; peduncles very slender, commonly 4 
to 6 inches long: calyx opaque and dark-colored, oblong-ovoid, 
abruptly long-pointed, the whole about 4 inch long : corolla not 
large, little more than one inch, broad in wide expansion: pods 
smallish, 13 inches long; torus under them short-turbinate, with 
broad spreading rim and short delicate inner margin. 
A marked species, possibly allied to Æ. Catfornica, but ap- 
parently of inland habitat, known only as in Herb. Calif. Acad. 
from Russian River Station, Sonoma Co., Calif., by G. A. Newell, 
Ang. 1900. 
8. E. Eastwooprax. Slender rather diffusely branched per- 
ennial not large; glabrous, glaucous ; branches rather leafy, the 
leaves not greatly dissected, their segments linear or oblong- 
linear, acute: calyx narrow, oblong conical, gradually and slen- 
derly short-pointed : corolla orange, about 1 inch wide ; stamens 
Many, with short filaments and very long anthers: pods slender
