304 PITTONIA. 
same light-green herbage as the last, the root annual or bi- 
ennial, but never branched from the base, all the branches 
axillary to leaves of the stem above the base, and all ascend- 
ing or suberect: leaves 1 to 14 inches long, lance-linear, 
acute, strongly glandular-hirtellous; branches of the cyme 
more divergent and more regularly dichotomous: sepals 
hispidulous under a lens, not glandular, veinless: corolla 
much exceeding the calyx and the lobes of the petals not 
acute: capsule of about twice the length of the calyx or 
something more, rather strongly curved. 
Mountains of southern. New Mexico and perhaps adja- 
cent Arizona; my specimens being from the Pinos Altos 
Mountains, collected in 1880, and distributed for C. nutans.
