284 PITTONIA. 
BÆRIA CONSANGUINEA. From 6 to 10 inches high, minutely 
glandular and sparingly hirsute : leaves lanceolate-acuminate, 
entire, sessile and apparently connate at the very base: 
rays conspicuously exserted : achenes minute, hispidulous- 
roughened, bearing a pappus of 5—8 quadrate scales which 
are deeply laciniate-toothed across the summit. 
A Lower Californian species, collected by Mr. Oreutt in 
1885. It forms a connecting link between the Dichceta and 
Ptilomeris sections of the genus ; having the eutire foliage of 
a Lasthenia, however, or of typical Bæria, but the fruit of 
Plilomeris. The whole achene, pappus included, is barely a 
line long. 
HELIANTHUS (?) INYENUSTUS. Apparently tall, leafy up to 
the solitary very short-peduneled heads, hispidulous through- 
out, the younger parts white-setose : leaves deltoid-lanceolate, 
entire, 4 or 5 inches long, on petioles of an inch or two: 
heads solitary, an inch high: rays none; disk-corollas tubu- 
lar: achenes (too young) apparently quadrangular, com- 
pressed, without pappus, or some with a single caducous 
scale ( ?). 
Sepe of Kern County, California, 1888, Dr. E. Palmer 
(No. 105). 
iei unknown; plant with the aspect of some of the 
eoarse annual species of Helianthus, nevertheless probably . 
perennial Perhaps a member of the too artificial genus 
Balsamorrhiza, but there are no known species with this 
habit. 
DELPHINIUM PAUPERCULUM. Stem solitary. simple, 2 or 3 
leaved, 6—10 inches high, from a small globose or ovate tuber: 
pubescence sparse and soft: leaves parted into broad linear 
trifid segments: flowers only 3 or 4, on ascending pedicels, 
deep blue, an inch broad; spur ascending, straight. 
Near the sea coast, in Woman Territory, July, 1888,
