T. Grandiflora R. Br. 1. c. 759. Hispid-pubescent throughout, glan- 
dular above:: stems clustered, 1-2 feet high, from stout short tufted root- 
stocks: leaves round-cordate, 2-4 inches in diameter, 3-¥-lobed, the lobes | 
coarsely toothed, prominently reticulate-veined, on. long petioles with 
scarcely dilated base, the few cauline ones smaller and nearly sessile: 
flowers not fragrant, on short reflexed pedicels: calyx 4 lines long, thick- 
cylindraceous, with turbinate tube and short triangular erect lobes, in- 
flated, coherent with the ovary only at the base; petals lanceolate in out- 
line, laciniately cut into long filiform segments, abruptly narrowed below 
to a short claw, soon bent at the lower third, the upper part closely re- 
flexed, bright red; styles short, persistent, with broad flat stigmas, ap- 
proximate: capsule ovate, open at the top, the indurated styles divergent 
in fruit: seeds oblong, tuberculate. Common in moist woods, Brit. Col- 
umbia to California. 
T. odorata. Coarsely pilose below, glandular-pubescent above: stems 
rather slender, clustered, 1-2 feet high, from a multicepital caudex: leaves 
broadly cordate, acute, obscurely lobed and crenately toothed, 1--3 inches 
long, on long petioles with dilated scarious base, the few cauline ones 
smaller and nearly sessile: flowers fragrant, numerous, on short pedicels 
in a long terminal raceme; calyx campanulate, the inflated tube 3-4 lines 
long, coherent with the lower half of the ovary, the oblong erect lobes 
about half as long as the tube: petals red, lanceolate in outline, lacini- 
ately cut into long filiform segments, narrowed below to a long claw, bent 
at the middle, the upper half spreading or at length loosely reflexed; 
styles short, with broad capitate stigmas: capsule elliptical, the very short 
styles divergent in fruit: seeds oblong, rough tuberculate. In wet places 
and springs, along the Columbia river near the Cascades to southern 
Oregon. ,

‘‘Glandular-hispid, leaves reniform-cordate, crenately lobed and toothed, 
1 or 2 inches broad: flowering stems 4-10 inches high, bearing 2 or 3 peti- 
olate leaves and a loose few (6-15) flowered raceme; pedicels short (a line 
long or less): calyx very broadly campanulate, 2 (becoming 3) lines long, 
acutely lobed; petals glandular, linear, entire and acuminate or more or 
less laciniately toothed toward the top, a little exceeding the calyx-lobes: 
stamens 5, very short, opposite to the calyx-lobes: stvles very short; cap- 
sule sub-globose, very shortly beaked: seeds very numerous, brownish, 
with wrinkled testa, not muricate.’”’ On cliffs of Mount Adams Wasning-

Small and slender herbs with fibrous at length grumous roots, 
3-5-parted or lobed leaves on petioles with stipuliform base and 
rather large flowers in simple few-flowered racemes. Calyx 
eyathiform or campanulate, coherent with or free from the lower 
part of the ovary: the limb short, 5-cleft, valvate in the bud. 
, inserted in the sinuses of the calyx just below the 
margin, cuneiform, unguiculate, much exserted, 3-cleft, or rarely 
entire, deciduous. Stamens 10, inserted in the throat of the 
calyx: anthers cordate, 2-celled. Styles 2-8, short; stigmas 
obtuse or somewhat dilated. Capsule 1-celled with 2-3 parietal 
many-seeded placentae, 2-3 valved at the apex. Seeds horizon- 
tal, ovate, with a distinct raphe; the testa smooth and membran- 
aceous.
