230 PITTONIA.

ish; torus under it large, turbinate, the rim quite ample, 
coriaceous : seeds faintly reticulate. 
Type specimens in my herbarium from about Monterey by Mr. 
Heller, 4 July, 1903, his n. 6860. In Herb. Calif. Acad. there 
is a sheet of what seems the same, from somewhere in Sonoma 
Co., no other particulars indicated.

Reg. t. 1168, not of Chamisso. Perennial, glabrous, glaucous, 
the decumbent stems rather sparingly branched, more than a 
foot high, sparsely leafy, leaf-segments mostly linear, acutish, 
notably divergent, the odd leaflet with terminal segment cut 
deeply into 3 subequal lobes, lateral segments less deeply cut 
and the lateral lobes or mere teeth much surpassed by the mid- 
dle one: calyx ovoid, 4 inch long exclusive of the abrupt short 
slender apiculation: corolla orange, 13 to 2 inches broad: sta- 
mens yellow: stigmas short, only moderately unequal: pod 23 
inches long or more, torus-rim under it remarkably narrow and 
inconspicuous, even the turbinate torus small for this group: 
seeds not seen. 
Inland plains and hillsides of southern Oregon ; first collected 
by Douglas on the sources of the Multnomah River, now known 
as the Willamette, the most typical specimens of comparatively 
recent gathering and distribution being those of Mr. Howell 
from the Umpqua Valley, April, 1881. From further north- 
ward, namely, near Salem, there are good specimens in my her- 
barium gathered by Mr. Cusick in 1887. To the valley of the 
Columbia I do not trace in the herbaria the plant here defined, 
though it may exist there, either as indigenous or as introduced. 
That it should occur even in northern California as indigenous, 
no one will think probable who knows the breadth of that ele- 
vated mountain barrier, the Siskiyou Range, that separates 
between two floras so nearly distinct as those of the Shasta Valley 
in California and of the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
