Fig. 123. ESCHSCHOLTZIA CALIFORNICA Cham. var. CEOCEA Jepson. The flowering branchlet a 

 represents the average size of the large bronze-gold corollas of the spring flowering (Mar.- 

 Apr. ) ; these flowers are borne on stout erect stems. The flowering branchlet b was taken 

 from the same root-crown as a; it represents the average size of the straw-yellow corollas 

 of the summer and autumn flowering; such flowers are borne on slender diffuse stems. 

 c is a detail of a, showing the characteristic broad torus rim of the spring flowering; d is 

 a detail of 6, showing the narrow torus rim of the summer flowering. Plants in full vigor 

 which produce a crop of large flowers in spring produce also from the same root-crowns a 

 regular crop of small summer flowers, a, 6, c, d, XI; e, seed, X 12.
