ESCHSCHOLTZIA, š 287 
_ À. D. E. Elmer; his n. 3268, as in U. S. Herb. I also refer 
~ here with misgiving the following, all plants of similarly open 
leaf-segmentation, and like habit, but the specimens are all too 
poor to admit of free comparison with Mr. Elmer’s which I 
name as typical. Herb. Calif. Acad., sheet 1026, from Point 
Sur, 1888, by Brandegee, sheet 2453, from Pacific Valley in the 
= same county, by Miss Eastwood, 1893, sheet 2630, purporting 
_ to have come from Kelsey, Lake Co., June, 1889, by Brandegee. 
Besides these there is an old Whipple’s Expedition specimen in 
_ U.S. Herb., which may have come from Monterey Co. It was 
= collected by Bigelow, and, according to Torrey, Whipple Rep., 
p. 64, “at Knight’s Ferry, on the Stanislaus River,” very far 
| 
from Monterey County, and in a very different region. The 
label bears, in Dr. Torrey’s hand, the names Zschscho/ltsia 
 Douglasii, var, tenuifolia. I doubt that the plant came from 
_ the Stanislaus, and believe it was from Monterey Co. 
While Æ. Elmeri comes from the region where Douglas 
spent two seasons, and whence he sent seeds and specimens to 
England, it seems improbable that it can be Æ. /enuifolia, 
Benth. The calyx agrees, but the leaves do not. 
104. E. rncisa. Annual, the long pedunculiform branches 
stout and apparently fistulous, a foot high, leafy only toward 
the base; herbage glaucescent, margins of petioles, petiolules 
and leaf-divisions sparsely crystalline-scabrous or denticulate : 
leaves mostly basal but forming only a loose tuft, the about 5 
divisions rather remote, cuneiform, sparingly and incisely cleft 
intu broad nearly parallel acute segments : calyx 3 inch long or 
more, the ovoid body surmounted by a falcate taper-point : 
corolla 14 or 2 inches wide: stamens about 20, the subulate 
filaments shorter than the long linear anthers: stigmas 4, of 
which 2 are very long and slender, 2 very short: torus short, 
turbinate. 
Uncommonly distinct species, known to me in but one fine 
large flowering plant in Herb. Parish, purporting to have been 
collected at the Soldiers’ Home, Los Angeles Co., Calif. by Dr. 
= H. E. Hasse, April, 1890.
