256 PITTONIA. 
tribution of somewhat similar specimens from near San Ber- 
nardino, and therefore from a much lower altitude and in another 
natural zone, which, like his n. 4162, and an unnumbered sheet 
in my herbarium from “San Bernardino, June, 1893,” I refer to 
E. Bernardina rather doubtfully. 
52. E. DIVERSILOBA. Much branched and very leafy annual, 
with stout ascending branches from the base, or these possibly 
more depressed ; herbage glabrous, lightly glaucous ; leaves with 
narrow rachis, but all the divisions and segments rather broad, 
only the later and smaller rameal ones with cuneate-linear seg- 
ments, those of all the others with spatulate and obovate-oblong 
ultimates, but all very obtuse, yet ending in a small mucro, 
. some divisions trifid, others very unequally bifid: calyx thin, 
small, barely + inch long, very broadly yet acutely ovoid, hardly 
apiculate: corolla orange, small, little more than 1 inch broad : 
torus turbinate, its rim only small and insignificant. 
Near Lakeport, Lake Co., Calif., April, 1889, Mr. or Mrs. 
Brandegee, in Herb. Calif. Acad., sheet n. 2616, already cited as 
having several species, one of which is Æ. Brandeget (n. 37 of 
this series). 
53. E. THERMOPHILA. Middle-sized or large annual, in 
maturity often 2 feet high, branched from the base and decum- 
bent, always stoutish, glabrous, glaucescent or even distinctly 
and emphatically glaucous, very leafy and floriferous through- 
out, the leaves large, and with broad and divergent divisions, 
the ultimate segments rather long, oblong-linear, the very 
rminal one commonly broadly cuneiform and 3-lobed or 
3-dentate between two long uncut ones of about its own length : 
peduncles, except in the early subacaulescent state, not long, 
little surpassing the leaves: calyx thin, an inch long, almost 
conical, with short apiculation: corolla 13 to 24 inches broad, 
apparently very widely expanding, yellow or orange: filaments 
unusually long and slender for the group, almost as long as the 
anthers, dark-purple at tip: stigmas 4, very long, subequal : 
pods small for the plant, only 14 inches long and thinnish :
