234 PITTONIA. 
round subulate-pointed calyx, and the peculiar persistency of 
corolla and stamens in a bunch together after flowering. Not 
that these remain attached to the torus. They are mostly 
found at a point a little above the middle of the full-grown 
ovary or pod. 
The variety monticola is from Monterey Co., the Santa Lucia 
Mountains, by Miss Eastwood in May, 1897. ‘The habitat is so 
far removed from that of the type, and comes from the midst 
of a flora so very unlike that of the country north of Mt. 
St. Helena, that I can hardly doubt its coming into specific rank 
later, when the seeds of the two become known. 
17. E. Suasrensis. Perennial, stouter than Æ. Douglasü, 
the stems 14 feet high, less depressed, apparently decumbent 
only ; herbage glabrous, glaucous but not strongly so: segmen- 
tation of foliage much broader than in Æ. Douglasi, oblong- 
linear and linear-cuneiform, obtuse, the lateral two of the 
ultimate three both longer and narrower than the middle one, 
this very obtuse, or truncate, or even retuse, commonly mucron- 
ulate: peduncles short, little surpassing the rameal leaves : 
calyx ? inch long, ovoid, abruptly apiculate: corolla golden 
yellow, 2 inches broad: pods 2 inches long: torus exactly 
funnelform, the rim wholly inconspicuous, hardly surpassing 
the inner margin: seeds unknown. 
Stillwater, Shasta Co., Calif. 21 May, 1894, M. S. Baker and 
Frank Nutting. Exceedingly well marked species by its leaf- 
segmentation and denudate torus; apparently only once collected. 
But Shasta is one of quite a number of Californian counties, 
each as large asa state, that remain almost unexplored. 
18. E. yArNacgENsis. Low perennial, stoutish, sometimes 
subacaulescent, amply leafy, 6 to 10 inches high, glancescent, 
rarely glabrous ‘throughout, usually scabrous-denticulate as to 
the petioles and lower parts of foliage : long linear leaf-segments 
little divergent, the middle one of the ultimate 3 hardly surpat 
ing the others but widening upwards, apt to be cuspidately
