acuminate, prominently serrulate, mostly abruptly rounded to the base, 
drying dark: flowers erect,near the end of the stem: petals 2-3 lines iong, 
more or less purple; capsules about 30 lines long, short-stalked: seeds 
coarsely hyaline-papillate or with the papille often entirely collapsed, 
very blunt above; coma dingy. Alaska and Brit. Columbia, perhaps

E. brevistylum Barbey. Bot. Cal. i, 220. Slender pubescent, leaves 
scarcely 2 inches long, ovate or elliptical. loosely and uniformly distrib-

E. ursinum S. B. Parish. A span to a foot high, slender: both 
leaves and stems below pilose with rather remote and spreading long 
white hairs; the infloresence minutely glandular-pubescent: leaves an 
inch long or less, rather uniformly and in larger plants remotely distrib- 
uted, ovate, broadly. lanceolate, the upper subacute and serrate, the lower 
blunter and finely denticulate or nearly entire, very abruptly rounded to 
the sessile base, tlowers few, erect or somewhat nodding; petals white or 
lavender, 2-3 lines long: capsules ascending 15 lines long on very slender

rough, short beaked: coma rather scant, white. San Bernardino county, 
California to Washington. 
Var. subfaleatum Trel. ].c.101. Lower but often branched below,almost 
witbout decurrent lines, densely tomentose, or pilose to the glandular

dular-puberulent throughout or soon glabrous below. leaves remote, mostly 
ascending 10-15 lines long ovate to oblong-lanceolate, the lower obtuse, 
decidedly undulate-serrulate, abruptly sessile or some of them clasping, 
decurrent by the broad base; flowers and capsules ultimately rather 
remote in the upper axils; petals 2-3 lines long, pale to mostly rather .

it Leaves rather small with less conspicuous lateral veins evidently 
pees stems terete but sometimes pubescent in lines. Much- 
oranched small plants, with the rather spreading leaves therefore 
mainly attenuate.
