AMERICAN POLEMONIACE.E. 199 
+ + Leaves filiform and simple, or else pinnatifid or multifid, 
the segments rigid and with pungent tips ; herbage 
viscid-pubescent, and fragrant or ill- 
scented in most species. 
8. N. viscipULa, Benth. Pl. Hartw. 325: Gilia viscidula, 
Gray, ll. cc.—A few inches high and rather stout: leaves 
slender but firm, serrate-pinnatifid or parted into setaceous 
lobes, the bracts ovate-dilated : capsule normal, 3—6-seeded. 
Hill country of middle and southern California; in the 
lower Sacramento region, hybridizing freely with the next. 
9. N. PUBESCENS, Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beech. 368; Benth. in 
DC. Prodr. 1. c.: ZEgochloa pubescens, Benth. in Bot. Reg. 
l.c.: Gilia pubescens, Steudel. 1. c. 684: Gilia cotulefolia, 
Gray, l. c. in part.—Less robust than the last, taller, flexuous 
and branching, soft-pubescent:  leaf-segments 5—-11, the 
terminal or odd one spatulate-dilated, the others linear, all 
with numerous sharp and stiff teeth or lobes: calyx-teeth all 
pungent-tipped, 3 small and entire, 2 twice as large and 
toothed: corolla deep blue or purple, $ inch long, the throat 
funnelform, stamens exserted : capsule 1-celled and 1-seeded ! 
Common in the hill country and chiefly in open places 
among oaks, not on the plains. Herbage with a disagreeable 
hireine odor, stronger than that of Anthemis cotula. There 
are hybrid forms of this with yellow, and even tetramerous 
corollas, and there is a good deal of variability in the species 
in regard to habit of growth; but its pubescence and the 
stiffness and pungency of the foliage everywhere mark it as 
distinct from N. cotulefolia, to which Dr. Gray has referred 
it. 
10. N. squarrosa, Hook. & Arn. l. c.: Hoitzia squarrosa, 
Eschscholtz in Mem. Acad. Petrop. 1826 : ZEgochloa pungens, 
Benth. in Bot. Reg. l. e.; Gilia pungens, Hook. Dot. Mag. t. 
2977: Navarretia pungens, Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. in 15; JV. 
squarrosa, Benth. in DC. Prodr. l. e. 310: Gilia squarrosa.
