ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 283 
little dilated : calyx thin, 4 lines long, ovoid-conic, with very 
short and small point: corolla hardly an inch wide, pod slender, 
ubout 2 inches long; seeds round-ovoid transversely papery- 
rugulose rather them reticulate, or the appendage more or less, 
broken into a tuberculate roughness. 
= Dry hillsides at Glendale, southwestern Oregon, ‘Thomas 
Howell, 30 April, 1877: type in my herbarium. Since Douglas 
was in this part of Oregon, the present plant might possibly 
turn out to be Bentham’s Æ. tenuifolia; though I think it im- 
probable. 
98. E. PETROPHILA. Perennial, the many slender stems 
upright or ascending, forming a rather compact reedy mass 8 or 
10 inches high, the whole plant pale and glaucous, apparently 
glabrous, but under a lens seen to be sparsely scaberulous at 
least on all the angles, especially on the margins of the petioles ; 
main stems all leafy, only sparingly branched, angular rather 
than striate: leaves small, longer than broad, segments not 
‘widely divergent, the ultimate ones oblong-linear, acute: pedun- 
cles quadrangular; calyx less than 7 inch long, obovate, 
abruptly apiculate: corolla nearly rotate, 4 inch broad, appar- 
ently light-yellow: pods 12 inches long, slender and remarkably 
slender-pointed ; torus short, neither margin obvious. 
This, a most notable accession to this division of the genus, 
on account of its perennial root, is before me in but a single 
specimen, collected by Purpus, and said to inhabit stony slopes 
of Pah-Ute Peak among the high mountains of Kern Co., Calif. 
The type is sheet 328,518 U. S. Herb. 
99. E. DUMETORUM. Annual, 8 or 10 inches high, the crowded 
stems ascending or decumbent, yellowish and straw-like, lightly 
striate, the rather small foliage glaucous, also glabrous except 
as to the petioles of the basal leaves, these sparsely but saliently 
- papillose-dentate : leaves rather small and delicate, each of the 
five divisions 3-ternate. the ultimate segments subulate-linear, 
‘acute: calyx very thin, almost filmy, about 3 inch long includ-
