upper much smaller than the others: capsule 3-valved at apex 
and the valves well exserted: seeds striate lengthwise but 
neither muricate nor obviously granular. 
Lava beds of Modoc County, Calif., June, 1894; growing 
in the shade of junipers. Collected by Mrs. R. M. Austin. 
A recent study of the herbarium types in a certain group 
of Californian species of Gilia, supplementing some years of 
observation of them in the field, enables me to present the 
following, in place of what was given on page 147 of Gray’s 
Synoptical Flora. 
G. MILLEFoLIATA, Fisch. & Mey. Ind. Sem. Petr. 35. 
(1838). This is a slender often widely branching plant, 
with scattered small flowers, very common in western Cali- 
fornia, where it has of late years been known, according to 
the teaching of Asa Gray, as G. multicaulis, from which 
species it differs in its glandular-pilose pubescence, but 
more strikingly in the size, form and marking of its corolla. 
This organ is small, inconspicuous, and always 2-colored; 
the small acutish spreading lobes being white or bluish, the 
scarcely dilated throat being always marked with five large 
dark spots, one below each lobe. The plant is much more 
related to G. tricolor than to the next with which it has been 
confused. Its corollas are, like those of G. tricolor, never 
open except in the middle of the day, while in all the follow- 
ing they are open from very early morning until nightfall. 
G. MULTICAULIS, Benth. Bot. Reg. under t. 1622: G. achil- 
leefolia, Benth. 1. c., a larger form, well figured in Bot. Reg. 
t. 1682, not of A. Gray, Syn. FI. 147, nor of Greene, Man. 
248. Plant often 2 feet high, glabrous except the glandular- 
hirsute calyx: branches either many and with very few 
flowers at the ends, or few and with large densely cymose 
clusters: calyx mainly herbaceous, the scarious spaces below 
the sinuses extremely narrow; segments also wholly herba- 
ceous, erect: corolla with short tube, and broad funnelform
