232 PITTONIA. 
little divergent, the dissection of some rameal summer foliage 
notably different, the segments being short, the outer two of each 
ultimate three convergent: calyx very thin, subconic-ovoid, 3 
inch long, tapering to a short not slender point : corolla orange, 
widely expanding, 2 inches broad: stamens with rather long 
and slender linear-subulate purple-tipped filaments : stigmas 4 
unequal : pods 24 inches long ; torus under them large, almost 
salverform, the coriaceous outer rim conspicuous, more than } 
inch wide: seeds not quite spherical, one end mucronate, lightly 
reticulate. 
Species of the region of the lower Columbia River in Washing- 
ton and Oregon; well represented in Herb. Calif. Acad., Herb. 
Field Museum, and in my own collection as distributed by Mr. 
Suksdorf from his gatherings of 1881, the specimens taken in 
summer, apparently. There is also a good representation of it in 
U. S. Herb. collected in 1903 at Lower Albina, a suburb of 
Portland, by Mr. E. P. Sheldon, the corollas in these not wholly 
orange, the petals being yellow above the middle. These were 
taken in early June. 
On account of its differently shaped and larger calyx as well 
as conspicuous torus-rim, it is necessary to segregate this from 
Æ. Douglasii. Its habitat, be it also noted, is that of a district 
not far from the sea, not much above that level, whereas Æ. 
Douglasit, of the sources of the Willamette, belongs to 
a mountainous region of considerable elevation. 
In evidence of this plant’s having established itself in at 
least one locality remote from the Columbia Valley, there is a 
specimen in Herb. Calif. Acad. from the Shasta Valley in north- 
ern California, taken by Mrs. Curran in 1887, at Edgewood, 
a station on the line of the railway between Portland and San 
Francisco. From the native Eschscholtzia of the Shasta 
Valley this differs so widely that none but a novice could con- 
fuse the two.

the base, a foot high or more, glabrous, glaucous: leaves on 
rather slender petioles, rather compact, both the divisions and sub-
