248 PITTONIA. 
by J. B. Leiberg, 5 April, 1898. This locality has an elevation 
of nearly 3000 feet. The plant is comparatively few-flowered, 
and may well prove eventually, to be species. 
38 E. BRANDEGEI. Multicipitous low perennial, the scapi- 
form and slender peduncles 4 to 6 inches high, overtopping all 
the foliage ; herbage glaucous, also the petioles and angles of 
the stem more or less definitely scabrous: leaf-segments 
narrowly linear, acute, slightly divergent: calyx thin, about 2 
inch long, acutely ovoid, with distinct very short and slender 
apiculation : corolla apparently orange, 14 inches broad or less: 
stigmas 4, very slender and very unequal: torus narrow-turbi- 
nate, the thin rim deflexed, not wider than the scarious inner 
margin, this conspicuous. 
From some unmentioned locality, near Lakeport, Calif., 
April, 1889, Mr. or Mrs. Brandegee. Type in Herb. Calif. 
Acad., on sheet n., 2616, along with two other species, one 
perennial, the other annual. 
39. E. CLEVELANDI. Diffusely dichotomous maritime annual, 
often forming a loose mat 2 feet wide, glabrous, or with some 
minute and obscure roughness on branches and petioles, glau- 
cescent rather than glaucous; leaves and flowers small; segments 
of leaves either broad, short and divergent, or narrower, longer 
and almost parallel on the same plant: calyx oblong-conical, 
about + inch long, thin and translucent, the very short apicula- 
tion blunt: corolla nearly rotate, 14 inches broad, early and 
sparse flowers and yellow, later smaller, deeper yellow or orange: 
stamens many, the filaments very short and stout, purple above, 
the anthers linear, elongated: stigmas 4, slender, unequal : pod 
slender, 13 inches long; torus under it small, but with the 
spreading rim conspicuous: seeds small, not quite spherical, 
apiculate at one end, reticulate. | 
Abundant at and near San Diego, Calif., along the seashore 
thence southward apparently to Ensenada on the peninsula 
of Lower California; also on Coronados Islands; being 
a southern homologue of the perennial Æ. Californica, but
