118 PITTONIA. 
locality scarcely at all so, but almost silvery canescent with 
quite soft appressed hairs. 
94. C. HISPIDISSIMA. A foot high or more, with ascending 
branches ; strongly pilose-hispid throughout, and without dif- 
ferent appressed pubescence under the spreading: inflo- 
rescence elongated and loosely spicate, never leafy or glomer- 
ate: calyx 13—2 lines long, the segments long-attenuate, far 
exceeding the nutlets: corolla large and conspicuous : nut- 
lets of the preceding species. 
San Luis Obispo County, Cal, J. G. Lemmon, 1887. Plaut 
with the aspect, and the rather showy corollas of C. barbigera, 
and so not resembling C. leiocarpa ; like that only when the 
nutlets alone are considered. Old specimens of what is ap- 
parently the same were obtained by Mrs. Curran in 1886, in 
the Salinas Valley, some distance north of Mr. Lemmon's lo- 
cality ; and my Krynitzkia leiocarpa of the Santa Barbara 
islands, although somewhat less hispid than Mr. Lemmon's 
type, belongs here. 
35. CO. NEMACLADA. Slender, very diffusely branching, a 
foot high, sparsely setose-hispid and green, i. e., lacking ca- 
nescent appressed hairs: spikes very loose, almost filiform : 
calyx a line long, appressed to the rachis, the segments hispid 
below the middle, their filiform upper portion retrorsely 
setulose : nutlets ovate-acuminate, 3 line long, smooth and 
shining, the groove bifurcate at base but closed throughout. 
Colusa County, Cal., 1884, Mrs. Curran. Only one speci- 
men, and that inadvertently left by me, as a large state of C. 
sparsiflora, at the time when the latter (under Krynitzkia) 
was published; its widely different character now first 
detected. 
36. C. ToRREYANA — Krynitzkia Torreyana, Gray, 1. e.— 
This species and the next, so precisely similar in aspect, have 
been well distinguished by Professor Gray by the fine char- 
acter of a slight but constant difference in the insertion of the
