` ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 243 
state, in the herbarium, that measures 5+ inches across, is from 
Ione by Mr. or Mrs. Brandegee, April, 1889. The three speci- 
mens are, therefore, from one and the same general geographic 
and climatic region. 
31. E. SANCTARUM. Akin to Æ. crocea, much larger, often 
2or3 feet high, more loosely leafy and branching, and with 
long-peduncled less richly orange-colored corollas, the herbage 
slightly more glaucescent: calyx as large, 14 inches long, the 
ovate-conic body surmounted by a distinct stout-apiculation of 
half its length: corolla more widely expanding, the largest 2 
inches long: torus-rim mostly less than 4 inch wide: pods 
stout and subligneous, 2 to 3 inches long: seeds unknown. 
South Californian homologue of the middle Californian Æ. 
crocea; its marks as a species already indicated, and sufficing 
to preclude our treating it asa possible Æ. crocea introduced 
from the very different region five hundred miles to the north- 
ward. The specimens are, first, and for flowers and buds the 
best, a sheet in my own herbarium distributed from the 
Grand Mesa, San Diego Co., where it was collected in May, 
1894. In U.S. Herb. are two sheets obtained in the same region, 
namely at Santa Ysabel by Mr. H. W. Henshaw, April 1893 ; 
in Herb. Calif. Acad. two sheets of mature specimens from the 
Santa Ynez Mountains back of Santa Barbara, by Mr. Brande- 
gee as early as 1888. 
The sole specimen before me of Æ. crocea, var. longissima, 
bears some likeness to these plants of the South, at least, in the 
Matter of its long calyx. But there are other differences; 
and especially the fact the two belong to really different, and 
very different, climatic regions; are members of two rather 
distinct floras. 
82. E. scartosa, Perennial, with the habit of Æ. crocea, but 
smaller, more robust, with smaller orange corollas: foliage less 
ample, the linear segments less divergent: calyx ¢ inch long, 
With abrupt short apiculation; stigmas 8 or 10, nearly equal;
