260 PITTONIA 
son, named by him C. crocea, which have the same habit, foliage, 
and glaucous hue, one of which exhibits both a scabrous line 
up and down one branch, and a similar roughness on the mar- 
gins of the upper leaves. Neither of these specimens shows 
distinctly the bladdery state of the torus so notable in mine; so 
that this character may not be constant. 
57. E. PENINSULARIS, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. i. 68, but 
not of p. 183. Annual or possibly perennial, glabrous, glauces- 
cent, freely branching from the base, the slender ascending 
branches a foot high or more, leafy and floriferous throughout, 
but foliage small, little dissected, many leaves only biternate, 
the ultimate segments dilated upwards, abruptly acute : calyx 
-firm and opaque, ovate-conical, } inch long: orange-colored 
corolla small, open-campanulate, 4 inch broad: stamens defi- 
nitely 8, the subclavate anthers much longer than the subulate 
filaments : stigmas 4, nearly equal: torus short, turbinate, with 
broad and conspicuous spreading rim: pods little more than 1 
inch long: seeds manifestly elongated, mucronate at both ends, 
lightly favose-reticulate. 
Mountain districts of northern Lower California, first collec- 
ted by Mr. Orcutt, at Las Juntas, 3 July, 1884 and distributed 
by him under n. 1095; good specimens of this original are in 
Herb. Calif. Acad., Herb. Field Museum, sheet n. 148012, the 
label on this bearing, what is rare, the place and time of collect- 
ing, and in Mr. Orcutt’s hand. 
58. E. ALIENA. Smaller than the last, somewhat similarly 
branched and many-flowered; herbage glabrous, glaucous: 
leaves small but rather freely cut into oblong but acute 
segments: subrotate corolla larger, 14 inches wide, apparently 
of a rather light yellow: stigmas 4, very slender and unequal: 
pods about 13 inches long, slender, very glaucous ; torus under 
them short-subcylindric, the outer rim very narrow but coriace- 
ous and manifest, the inner and hyaline margin quite obscure. 
Nogales, in extreme southern Arizona, barely within the
