ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 247 
36. E. REvoLUTA. Stout and low, only 6 or 8 inches high, 
including the corollas, these borne on scapiform peduncles quite 
surpassing all foliage ; root-crown or caudex often multicipi- 
tous, the plant therefore a strong perennial: herbage glabrous, 
glaucescent: leaves compact, their segments broad and little 
divergent, the ultimates oblong-cuneiform, the middle one of 
the 3 broadest, all abruptly and somewhat cuspidately acute: 
calyx thin, an inch long or more, oblong-conical, but with 
actual apiculation quite distinct and not short: corolla orange, 
more than 2 inches broad in expansion: stamens many; fila- 
ments chiefly dark-colored: stigmas 4, very long, subequal : 
torus short, turbinate, with ample but thin rim appearing 
small by being rather closely revolute even under the flowers 
and buds, 
Known only as collected by me in the Livermore Valley, 
Calif., 3 April, 1895. It is abundant on sterile gravelly flats. 
37, E. FLORIBUNDA. Stout low subacaulescent perennial, with 
numerous upright leaves and scapiform peduncles 6 or 8 inches 
high from a branching root-crown or candex ; herbage merely 
glaucescent ; margins of petioles scabrous-denticulate or smooth, 
all other parts glabrous: leaves compact, their oblong-linear 
Segments little divergent, acutish : calyx thin, 1 to 14 inches 
long, oblong-conical, ending in a terete apiculation 1 to 14 lines 
long: stamens many, the anthers very long and slender, on 
short subulate purple-tipped filaments: stigmas 4, long, slightly 
unequal: pods nearly 3 inches long, slender and straight; torus 
long and narrow funnelform, with rim pronounced but not 
broad, the inner margin short, strongly nerved : seeds unknown. 
Var. corgontcA. Decidedly glaucous, more distinctly scab- 
rous denticulate: calyx more gradually pointed and the point 
longer in proportion ; torus rather turbinate than funnelform. 
Type from near Santa Ysabel, southern California, 15 May, 
1893, H. W. Henshaw, in U.S, Herb.; plant probably from a 
fonsiderable elevation in the mountains. 
The variety is from San Gorgonio, Pass in the same region,
