24 ERYTHEA. 
Plentiful on grassy slopes near the summits of the West 
Humboldt Mountains, Nevada, collected by the writer in 
July, 1894. Allied to A. glauca, though no part of the 
plant is glaucous, the whole herbage being of a vivid green; 
the runcinate leaves quite like those of some Hypocheris, 
or even suggesting those of Taraxacum. 
Phacelia inconspiena. Annual, erect, rather widely and 
freely branching, only 2 to 6 inches high, very leafy and 
the leaves far surpassing the dense small-flowered spikes: 
herbage rather softly pubescent, but the sepals setose-his- 
pidulous: leaves all entire, spatulate-lanceolate and more or 
less distinctly petiolate; sepals elongated-linear, some no- 
tably dilated at the apex: corolla wholly inconspicuous, 
hardly more than a line long, broad-funnelform, white or 
with a very dull bluish tinge: stamens not exserted: seeds 4, 
minutely favose. 
A curious and very distinct but homely ally of P. humilis, 
altogether insignificant and weedy-looking by contrast with 
it where both grow in abundance on the slopes of the West 
Humboldt Mountains, Nevada, the new one at a higher 
altitude than the other. 
Linanthus neglectus. Stem only 2 to 5 inches high, 
with 1 or 2 long upper internodes and as many very short 
lower ones, simple to near the summit where the proper 
terminal glomerule of flowers is overtopped by a pair of long 
peduncled lateral ones; pubescence sparse and gland-tipped 
on the stem, the leaves hispid-ciliate, their segments about 5: 
corolla with very slender tube well surpassing the long linear- 
acerose calyx-teeth; its rotate limb about 3 lines broad, the 
segments quadrate-obovate, truncate or retuse, yellow at 
base, the yellow bounded by 5 transverse bars or semilunate 
spots of vermilion, the rest rose-red: capsule obovoid, 
3-seeded. 
Common at subalpine elevations of the Californian Sierra, 
and associated with L. Harknessii, but a species of the 
Leptosiphon section, most related to L. ciliatus.
