ESCHSCHOLTZIA, 279 
stamens 8, anthers as long as the filaments: pods 14 inches 
long, very slender, few-seeded, apt to be torulose above the 
middle, the walls very thin. 
This is based on a single sheet in U. S. Herb., collected by 
Mr. Parish in 1894, at Byrne’s Spring on the eastern slope or 
at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, the date June 16. 
Its strong points of divergence from Æ. modesta on the one 
hand and Æ. micrantha on the other compel its recognition as a 
Species, perhaps local. 
90. E. URCEOLATA, Kastw. Bull. Torr. Club, xxx, 488. Stout 
but low annual, often subacaulescent, 6 or 8 inches high, the 
larger plants freely branched from the base and the branches 
leafy ; herbage glaucescent, at least the lower parts of stems, the 
petioles and peduncles—sometimes even the petiolules of the 
upper leaves and the calyx—papillose-hispidulous or hirsutu- 
lous: leaves ample, the divisions not closely approximate, the 
ultimate segments rather polymorphous, mostly long, the middle 
often notably broad and its laterals very narrow, all apt to be 
abruptly acute: calyx nearly an inch long, thin, conical, almost 
pointless: corolla 2 inches wide, golden-yellow: stamens many, 
the long anthers on stout narrow-subulate filaments, these pur- 
ple at summit: stigmas 4, very unequal: pod very stout, 24 
to 3 inches long, torus very large, urceolate by contraction at 
the orifice. 
Carrizo Plains, interior of California, well southward, Miss 
Eastwood, 2 May, 1896. 
91. E. crverata. Rather slender annual a foot high, at first 
with not a few long and slender subscapiform peduncles, later 
with loosely leafy several flowered branches; herbage glauces- 
cent, nearly glabrous, an obscure line of short hispid hairs 
marking here and there a branch, or the margins of some petioles, 
these elongated ; leaves cut into many long narrow-linear slightly 
divergent acutish segments: calyx nearly + inch long, sub- 
conic, short-pointed: corolla widely expanding and cruciform,
