246 PITTONIA. 
the only specimen furnishing seeds; and Antioch and Elmira 
are both in the same geographic and floral district, at least in a 
general way. As representations of the species from the foot- 
hills of the Sierra, I may name a sheet in my own herbarium 
from Cow Creek, Shasta Co., by Baker and Nutting, 1894 ; also 
one from Knight’s Ferry, Stanislaus, Co., 9 April, 1895, by F. 
W. Bancroft. In U. 8. Herb. a sheet from Amador Co., by Mr. 
Hansen, 1895, his n. 1112, and one from Sherlocks, Mariposa 
Co., 24 May, 1893 by J. W. Congdon. There is a specimen in 
Herb. Calif. Acad. from Grant’s Pass, southern Oregon, which 
I refer here. It was collected by Mr. Howell, 23 May, 1884. 
From its being on the wrong side of that great natural barrier, 
the Siskiyou Mountains, I suspect it of having been intro- 
duced there accidentally from its proper habitat. There is, lastly, 
a sheet of it in Herb. Canad. Geol. Surv. from Beacon Hill, 
Vancouver Island, B. C., collected by Mr. Macoun in 1893, the 
label bearing this instructive note, “Introduced, but natural- 
ized.” > 
35. E. CALOSPERMA. Perennial, of the size and nearly the 
habit of Æ. recta, but branched from toward the base, the stem 
and branches only faintly striate, the large leaves with similar 
linear acute little divergent segments: calyx # inch long, nar- 
row and acute-conical : corolla golden-yellow, 14 or two inches 
broad : pod about three inches long, stout, curved; torus under 
it short-funnelform, with very broad coriaceous rim ascending 
rather than either spreading or deflexed: seeds large, rather 
acutely ovoid, of a grayish or olive-green hue by a dense some- 
what lepidote coat, and favose-reticulate, one side being marked 
from end to end by the narrow black line of the raphe which 
alone is not coated, the sharp end of the seed mucronulate- 
apiculate. 
Hills of Monterey Co., between Kings’ and Jolon, 7 June, 
1893, Miss Eastwood ; type in Herb. Calif. Acad. Readily dis- 
tinguished from Æ. recta by the large peculiar torus, and from 
that and all others by the elegant somewhat sea-shell-like seeds,
