white-pubescent: calyx pubescent, the teeth al]l spinose-tipped and toothed, 
very unequal: corolla pale blue, with filiform tube and funnelform throat ; 
not exceeding the bracts: stamens about equalling the oblong corolla-lobes : 
capsule obovoid few-seeded: seeds winged. Southwest Oregon. 
N._intertexta Hook. Fl. ii, 72. Gilia intertexta Steud. Neither vis- 
cid nor glandular: stem erect, simple or widely branched, 4-8 inches high, 
rather stout; leaves nearly glabrous with divaricate acerose spinescent di- 
visions sparingly divided or simple: flowers densely glomerate: tube of the 
calyx and base of the bracts strongly villous with white spreading hairs; 
iis unequal spinescent and entire lobes equalling the white corolla: ovules 
and seeds 3-4 in each cell. In damp places, Brit. Columbia to California

N. Suksdorfii. Low and depressed, or erect, 1-3 inches high, much 
branched ; leaves linear, an inch or two long, entire or with a pair or two 
of linear lobes near the base, not spinose: flowers in dense globular heads, 
the subtending bracts bipinnate with spinose lobes: lobes of the calyx shor- 
ter than the cylindraceous tube, which is but slightly contracted at the 
sinuses; the smaller ones entire: corolla white, barely exceeding the calyx: 
stamens as long as the corolla: capsule very thin, 3-seeded: seeds oblong. 
Low grounds, Falcon Valley, Klickitat Co. Washington. Distributed by

3-lobed calyx-teeth. 
N. minima Nutt. Pl. Gamb. 160. Depressed, often forming broad 
tufts, 14-2 inches high glabrate: leaves acicular with simple and 
few divisions: flowersin small loose heads the subtending bracts spinosely 
pinnate: tube of the calyx white-hairy in the broad sinuses, as long as the 
spinose entire lobes which equal or exceed the white corolla: ovules 1-3 
in each cell: capsule oblong-obovate, attenuate below. Interior of Oregon 
and Washington to Arizona and Nebraska. 
N. Breweri Greene |. c. 137, Gilia Breweri Gray, Erect or at length 
much branched and diffusely spreading, 1-10 inches high, very minutely 
glandular-puberulent throughout: leaves with mostly simple acicular-sub-

to the leaves: tube of the calyx a line long, 2 or 3 times shorter than the 
unequal entire lobes: corolla yellow, the slender tube equalling the calyx: 
stamens and style equalling the oblong corolla-lobes: ovules 1 or 2 in each 
cell. Southeastern Gieson to Wyoming, Nevada and California. 
N. leucocephaia Benth, Pl. Hartw. 160. Glabrous except some woolly 
pubescence at the summit of the stem and scarious calyx-tube: stem slen- 
der, 4-10 inches high, seldom rigid: leaves soft, their often simple divisions 
slender-spinulose: flowersin rather small heads, the subtending bracts with 
barely pungent divisions: calyx-tube contracted at the sinuses, about equ- 
alling the subula‘e entire lobes: corolla white, longer than the calyx: sta- 
mens exserted: ovules 2in each cell. In wet places, southern Oregon to 
California ; 
* * Leaves simply pinnatifid or incised or many of them entire. 
N. divaricata Greene 1, c. Gilia divaricata Torr. Stem slender, 1-6 
inches high divaricately branched not glandular-viscid but glabrate: leaves
