266 PITTONIA. 
the oval body hardly as long as the slender and gradually 
alternate apiculation : corolla large, nearly or quite 2 inches 
wide and only open-campanulate: torus short-funnelform, with 
very broad but thin rim: pod rather slender, 2 inches long or 
more: seeds not seen. 
Remarkable species, known to me in but a single specimen on 
sheet 2653, Herb. Calif. Acad., purporting to have come from 
Santa Barbara, Calif., through Mrs, R. F. Bingham, in 1886. 
Probably of insular origin. 
70. E. ROBUSTA. Annual, upright, branched from above the 
base, very robust, the main stem and primary branches more 
than 4 inch in diameter even when dry; herbage glabrous, 
glaucous : leaves ample, much subdivided into narrowly linear 
segments, the ultimates sometimes short, always acute: mature 
calyx not seen: corolla not large for the plant: pods stout, 33 
inches long: torus under them turbinate, with strongly devel- 
oped rim 4 inch in diameter more or less. 
Santa Rosa Island, Calif., April, 1888, T. S. Brandegee; 
probably the plant referred to in Proc. Calif. Acad. 2 Ser. i. 206 
as growing “On the loose soil of steep slopes.” Types, two 
sheets in Herb. Calif. Acad., labelled “Æ. Californica,” but with 
the synonym “Æ. glauca, Benth.” Æ glauca is, of course, my 
own species, and of Santa Cruz Island. But this, by its annual 
root, totally different habit, and large broad-rimmed torus, is 4 
most distinct species. 
71. E. CRASSULA. Low very robust annual, with few stout 
divergent leafy and floriferous branches from toward the base, 
the plant as a whole somewhat dendroid, glabrous, glaucous: 
leaves large, on very slender petioles, elegantly cut into long 
narrowly linear widely divergent segments, the ultimate 3 sub- 
equal, linear, straight; corolla small, cruciform, the obovate 
petals not meeting: stamens about 8, the very slender filiform 
filaments longer than the anthers: pods 24 inches long, very 
stout, obtuse, thin-walled, finely many-striate: seeds small, 
slightly ovoid, tuberculate-roughened, not reticulate.
