293 PITTONIA. 
acute, cuneate and entire toward the sessile base, otherwise 
coarsely and incisely serrate; flowers glomerate at the ends 
of the branches : calyx-lobes lanceolate-acuminate, longer than 
the campanulate tube: corolla from bright salmon color to 
orange, an inch and a half long, tubular-funnelform, the seg- 
ments oblong-lanceolate, very acute : filaments a little exserted 
and conspicuously declined. 
A most beautiful plant, by far the finest of its genus, dis- 
covered in the higher valleys of the Sierra Nevada, in Fresno 
County, California, by Mrs. L. A. Peckenpah (née Rawson); 
said to be abundant in its locality: intermediate, in aspect 
and character, between C. heterophylla and C. debilis. The 
` lobe-like folds in the sinuses of the calyx, which mark so well 
the genus, come out plainly in this, but are not so large as in 
some smaller species. 
Lyctum HassEgr Glabrous but slightly viscid, compactly 
branching and somewhat spinescent, 8 or 10 feet high : leaves

calyx-lobes 2 to 4, foliaceous, oblong or lanceolate, unequal, 
much longer than the campanulate tube ; corolla 4 inch long, .

Santa Catalina Island, J uly 15, 1888 ; a single dense clump 
consisting perhaps of one or possibly several bushes, the

SONNEA FOLIACEA. "Two to four inches high, with stoutish 
ascending branches from the base, leafy throughout and 
strigose-hispid : leaves an inch long, the lowest spatulate- 
oblong, the cauline oblong or oblong-lanceolate: flowers 
small, solitary or glomerulate in the axils of the leaves and at 
the ends of the branchlets: nutlets usually solitary, some- 
times a pair, ovate-acuminate, inserted just below the apex
