* * * Perennials with exserted and declined stamens. 
C. Mazama Coville Proc. Biol. Soc. of Wash. xi, 35. Glabrous or 
with a few arachnoid viscid hairs on the stem and leaf-margins, the in- 
florescence Glan dn lee ney: stems few to many from a slender perennial 
tap-root, 6-15 inches high, usually simple: leaves oblong-lanceolate to 
lanceolate, 1-2 inches long, acute at both ends, acutely and somewhat 
laciniately 3-5-toothed toward the apex, the upper entire and sessile, the 
lower often oblanceolate and petioled: inflorescence subcapitately cymose: 
calyx commonly 4-5 lines long; the triangular-lanceolate acuminate lobes 
about as long as the tube, enlarging in fruit: corolla about 7 lines long, 
deep blue to violet-purple, funnelform; the narrowly oblong-obovate obtuse 
lobes 2-3 lines long: anthers and style slightly exserted: seeds linear-ob- 
long, solitary in the cells. On Mount Mazama southern Oregon. 
C. debilis Greene Pitt. i, 127. Gilia debilis Watson. Minutely pu- 
bescent or hirsute and viscid: stems loosely tufted, 2-8 inches long leafy 
to the top: leaves pedately 3-7-parted or the upper ones 3-cleft, attenuate 
below toa petiole; the lobes 2-6 lines long, linear-oblong, or the larger more 
dilated and 2-3-cleft: flowers subsessile and solitary in the forks and axils: 
calyx evlindraceous; the short subulate teeth but halfas long as the tube; 
corolla funnelform, 6-8 lines long, with elongated tube and deeply cleit 
limb, light purple to blue: capsule a line long; the cells l-seeded. In loose 
volcanic sand on the highest mountain peaks, Oregon and Washington to 
California and Utah. 
C. glutinosa Benth. Bot. Reg. 1833. Slightly pubescent, and glandu- 
lar above: stem loosely branching, erect or diffuse, 1-2 feet long: leaves 
nearly simple, or cut or parted into lanceolate or narrowly oblong divisi- 
ons: flowers loose or scattered: calyx obtuse or rounded at base, deeply 
cleft ; the lobes subulate: stamens moderately unequal in insertion: ovules 
1 or 2 in each cell : capsule globular. In open woods, California and Ore- 
gon to Washington. 
4 LINANTHUS Benth. Bot. Reg. xix, t. 1622. 
Erect and slender annuals with opposite leaves and small 
flowers solitary and terminal or in the forks of the branches. or in 
capitate leafy-bracted clusters. Tube of the calyx cylindraceous, 
white-scarious except the ribs which are prolonged into acerose- 
linear teeth, not enlarged in fruit but usually ruptured by the 
maturing capsule. Corolla rotate, campanulate, funnelform, or 
salverform. Stamens equally inserted on the tube of the corolla. 
Seeds numerous or rarely few in the cells, developing mucilage 
when wetted.
