270 PITTONIA. 
as I said, “ Eastern slope of Mt. San Jacinto.” But the corres- 
ponding label for the same collecting of the plant now before 
me in Mr, Parish’s own herbarium has the locality corrected to 
“ Whitewater ’’ which is on the border of the Colorado Desert 
T'he species isakin to Æ. Aypecoides, differing from it greatly in 
habit, showing comparatively few flowers on long upright 
pedunculiform branches, and being wholly glabrous: the buds 
also being always longer and attenuate. Its corollas are not 
much larger than those of genuine Æ. minutiflora but the 
foliage and manner of growth are very different. 
77. E. PTARMICOIDES. Annual, sparingly branched from the 
the base, a foot high, the branches smooth, not striate, herbage 
glabrous, glaucescent: leaves little dissected, mostly of 5 divi- 
sions ; of which all but the lowest pair, and sometimes even 
these, are merely cleft into 3 cuneiform 3-dentate acute lobes; 
upper rameal leaves much simpler, apt to consist of 3 spatulate- 
linear and long entire segments: calyx less than 4 inch long, 
elliptic-ovoid with abrupt and stout but short apiculation: cor- 
olla golden-yellow, little more than 1 inch wide: stigmas 4, 
equal or nearly so, very slender above a peculiarly subulate- 
dilated base: slender pod 14 inches long: torus very small, 
short-turbinate.

peninsula, Dr. E. Palmer, 1887: typein U.S. Herb., sheet 3354. 
In segmentation of foliage promptly recalling that of certain 
Anthemides. 
78. E. MINUSCULA. Small and small-leaved rather succulent 
annual 2 to 6 inches high, slenderly branched from the base, 
the branches at early flowering little or not at all surpassing the 
basal leaves, yet not scapiform but leafy, each with several 
small flowers; herbage glabrous, glaucous: the very lowest 
leaves linear, entire, those next them nearly 3-parted and the 
divisions 3-lobed at summit, the others biternate, their ultimate 
segments broad and 3-toothed, the floral ones reduced to 3tri-
