specimens are in fruit only, and the smaller ones without 
branches look like Githopsis, so conspicuous are the Jarge, 
deeply cleft calyces. "That the corolla is unknown is a matter 
of small importance.

what variable species, badly confused with the next, in the 
first edition of the Synoptical Flora, but correctly defined in 
the Supplement. It is distinguished by its long aristate- 
pointed ealyx-teeth and greatly elongated almost salverform 
corolla, the attenuate tube of which is deep bluish purple, the 
limb clear white. The flowers are, in some plants 3—5 in all, 
even the upper axils, in others 2 in the lower and 1 only in all 
the rest. It certainly includes most, if not all, of what Dr. 
Gray has called C. linearis, var. subulata. 
T. C. TENELLA, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. viii. 259: Gilia 
leptotes, Gray, 1. e.—Said by Dr. Gray to have been collected 
only by Mr. Watson, in Parley’s Park in the mountains of 
Utah, but there are specimens from Marcus Jones in the 
herbarium of the California Academy, labelled City Creek 
Caiion, Utah, J uly, 1880. The flowers are all solitary, and 
the species is well distinguished from the preceding by 
its broadly triangular barely acute calyx-teeth which are 
shorter than the tube, and by the small short-tubed corolla. 
The replication of the sinuses is as pronounced in these last 
two species as in any of the more typical, but their habit is 
not quite that of the other groups.
