WEST AMERICAN ASPERIFOLLE. 19 
down to the linear-oblong scar, dorsal surface obviously granu- 
late but very indistinctly ragulose.— Myosotis Scou leri, Hook. 
& Arn. Bot. Beech. 370: Eritrichium Scouleri, A. DC. 1. ¢.; 
E. Scouleri, Gray 1. e. and Krynitzkia 1. c. 
Hillsides, Oregon and northward. 
15. A. STIPITATA. Ten to eighteen inches high, erect and 
and simple, or with ascending branches from the base: herb- 
age light green, apparently glabrous, yet roughish, slightly, 
with sparse and short setze: calyx nearly sessile, segments 
spreading, foliaceous and accrescent, in fruit often a half-inch 
long: corolla short-funnelform, 1—1-inch broad: nutlets 
ovate-lanceolate, carinate for the whole length of the ventral 
face, and a little past the apex, the back covered with blunt 
tuberculations and interrupted transverse rugs; scar exactly 
basal, roundish and joined to the body of the nutlet by a 
short but distinct stipe. : 
This is the commonest of all the species in the central part 
of California, being abundant in all moist meadow lands, and 
along the margins of pools and ditches. It is variable in size 
of flowers and nutlets, and the more slender states when in 
flower only might pass for A. Californica ; but the nutlets, 
whether large or small, never fail to display their very marked 
peculiarities. By their singular basal and stipitate insertion 
their apices are thrown apart, so that, in the calyx they.are 
always divergent from one another. 
16. A. Coopert. Like the last in habit and variability in 
size of flower and fruit, but hispid with an abundant spread- 
ing and setose pubescence: calyx-segments narrowly oblong, 
little accrescent : corolla salver-form rather than funnelform : 
nutlets slightly carinate ventrally only, back as in the last 
species, scar supra-basal narrowly oblong. — Eritrichium 
Cooperi, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 89; Krynitzkia Cooperi, 
Gray, l. e. xx. 267, and Syn. Fl. Suppl. l. e.
