192 ERYTHEA. 



calyx very small, the sepals not accrescent, only a line long 

 at maturity, wliitisli-yillous below, with a few coarse short 

 rufous hairs at tip: corolla quite large, ^ inch long, with 

 rather ample spreading limb: nutlets only | line long, ovate j 

 somewhat incurved, very sharply rugose transversely, with no 



dorsal ridge. 



Plant collected long ago by Dr. Coulter, probably in the 

 southern part of California, but possibly in Mexico. Calyx 



and nutlets very characteristic. 



Amsinckia barbata. Stout and coarse, erect or decum- 

 bent, the branches loosely floriferous throughout, all except 

 the uppermost pedicels subtended each by a broad ovate- 

 lanceolate amplexicaul foliaceous bract: sepals 4 or 5 lines 

 long, nearly linear, without rufous or fulvous pubescence, but 

 densely white-hirsute along the margins, sparsely hispid with 

 whitish bristles on the back: corolla small: nutlets ovate- 

 acuminate, closely muricate-tuberculate, without transverse 

 rugosities, but with an elevated and toothed dorsal ridge. 



Cameron Lake, Vancouver Island, 15 July, 1887, John 

 Macoun. Type specimen in the herbarium of the British 

 Museum. Species somewhat related to A. tessellcda, but 

 remarkable for its great leafiness throughout; the pubescence 

 of the calyx most peculiar; the rather soft white beard of the 

 margins of the sepals concealing the fruii

 thoroughly valid species; this notwithstanding that some
