ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 269 
toward the base, below the middle parted into several long 
ascending and somewhat naked flowering branches; herbage 
glabrous, glaucescent rather than decidedly glaucous: leaves 
compact, cut into very many almost parallel oblong-linear and 
linear acutish segments: calyx scarcely ł inch long, oval, 
abruptly apiculate: corolla rotate, hardly an inch wide: sta- 
mens 16 or 20, long, the filaments and anthers of about equal 
length: pods thin-walled, slender, 34 inches long; torus under 
them almost tubular, fully } inch long; seeds oval, mucronate 
at each end, indistinctly tuberculate, not reticulate. 
Summit of Guadalupe Island, chiefly to the southward; type 
specimen in. Herb. Calif. Acad. collected by myself in 1885. 
One in U. S. Herb. by Dr. Palmer in 1889 is more glaucous, less 
elegant in cut of smaller foliage, and has a shorter torus, yet 
specifically the same doubtless. 
y6. E. PARISHU, Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad, i. 183. Annual, 
slender, 6 to 12 inches high, glabrous, glaucous, proper leaves, 
all in a basal tuft on upright petioles, the rather few flowering 
branches with only scattered and reduced foliage: leaf as a 
whole broad and short, of angular outline, the segments linear, 
widely divergent, the ultimate 3 with middle lobe longer but 
not dilated, all acute: peduncles like the stem and branches 
terete, not even striate: calyx small, 4 inch long, ovate-conical, 
thin, attenuate to ‘a short apiculation: corolla deep-yellow, 
nearly an inch broad, the later ones somewhat cuneiform, being 
notably expanded and the cuneate-obovate petals overlapping 
only near the base: stamens many and filaments slender though 
short, not half as long as the long linear anthers: torus with 
slight but evident outer border, the inner more manifest : pods 
very slender and thin-walled: seeds slightly elongated, dis- 
tinctly reticulate. 
Native of the Colorado Desert, southern California, collected 
by Parish, W. G. Wright, and others. Mr. Parish is responsible 
for an error in my first definition of the species as to habitat. 
The printed label under which he sent it to Calif. Acad. reads
