angle of divergence, the whole torus thus somewhat cup-shaped: 
corollas, pods and seeds not seen. 
Only a single specimen, and that in Herb. Calif. Acad., from 
Alcalde, Fresno Co., Calif., T. S. Brandegee, 1891 ; mounted on 
sheet n. 2632, along with two other species under the same label, 
all three new, and of two different sections of the genus. 
65. E. INFLATA. Subacaulescent annual 5 or 6 inches high, 
glabrous, glaucous, the slender petioles quite as long as the 
peduncles at early flowering: leaves not large, cut into many 
oblong-linear acute nearly parallel segments; calyx very thin, ? 
inch long or more, nearly conical but with very short slender 
point: corolla golden-yellow, nearly 2 inches broad: pods 2 
inches long, not stout; torus under them large and 
more or less inflated, truampet-shaped when only moderately 80, 
others of extreme bladdery nature truncately obovate, the broad 
rim in such obscured. 
Plains of Tulare Co., Calif., near Goshen, 2 April, 1891, Mr.

66. E. QUADRANGULARIS. Rather compactly tufted annual 
6 or 8 inches high, glabrous glaucescent: leaves erect on long 
petioles, much dissected, and irregularly into linear obtuse 
moderately divergent segments ; the many scapiform peduncles 
surpassing the leaves, rather obtusely but obviously quadrangu- 
lar and with alternating strie: calyx thin, nearly conical, but 
with distinct and not short slender apiculation, the whole į 
inch long: corolla golden yellow, widely expanding, 14 inches 
wide : stamens many, the filaments short, mainly dark-colored ; 
pods slender, scarcely 2 inches long ; torus under them funnel-

Only one specimen seen, but that a very good one, in Herb. 
Calif. Acad., from near San Rafael, on the eastern slope of the 
Lower Californian peninsula, by Mr. Orcutt, in 1885. The 
only species in this division of the genus with peduncles 
distinctly quadrangular, :
