long: calyx hirsute, deeply parted, with lanceolate lobes and linear appen- 
dages: corolla an inch or less in diameter, rotate, the ample obcordate lobes 
white or light blue speckled with dark blue: scales at the base of the 
short tube narrow, wholly adherent their free edge densely hirsute-ciliate : 
ovules 8-24: seeds 5-15, globular, with a very prominent papilleform ca- 
runcle. Common in open places, Willamette Valley Oregon to California. 
N. pedunculata Dougl. Hook. Fl. ii, 79. Minutely hispid: stems 
slender, 2-6 inches high, paniculately branched: leaves bipinnatifid or the 
upper ones pinnate only, with rounded lobes: calyx 5-parted, with oblong 
acute lobes, the appendages iu the sinuses very small or obsolete: corolla 
white, 4-5 lines broad, the obovate emarginate lobes longer than the tube 
and surpassing the calyx; appendages in the throat broad and glabrous: 
stamens inserted on the base of the corolla and not longer than its tube: 
ovales: a pair to each placenta: seeds globose; the caruncle at length eva- 
nescent. In damp places, southern Oregon to California. 
N. parviflora Dougl. Hook. Fl. ii, 79. Rough-pubescent with short 
retrorse hairs: stems slender, 4-16 inches long branching from the base, 
prostrate or ascending: leaves broadly ovate in outline 6-10 lines long by 
4-8 lines broad, pinnately 5-lobed, with ovate acute and mucronate lobes, 
the lower sometimes coarsely 2-3-toothed ; petiole shorter than the blade: 
Loe a slender, an inch or less long in fruit: calyx 2 lines long or less, 
eeply 5-lobed with ‘anceolate lobes inconspicuous linear appendages : 
corolla white, campanulate, but little longer than the calyx, the rounded 
obovate lobes longer than the tube, the appendages in the throat linear 
and glabrous, or almost obsolete: stamens inserted on the base and not 
exceeding the tube of the corolia: anthers short, cordate, very obtuse: 
ovary 4-ovuled, very hispid: capsule much longer than the calyx, 1-4- 
seeded. Common in forests, western Oregon and Washington. 
N. densa. N. parviflora Gray in part. Sparingly pilose: stem some- 
what succulent, decumbent and spreading from the base, forming dense 
round mats 2-3 inches in diameter: leaves oblong in outline, 6-7 lines 
long by 2-4 lines broad, pinnately 7-parted, with obovate, barely apicu- 
ate lobes: calyx 14% lines long, with subulate lobes and linear appenda- 
ges: corolla blue, campanulate or more open, twice as long as the calyx; 
the broad lobes longer than the tube: the ovary 4-ovuled, pubescent: cap- 
sule longer than the calyx, 1-4-seeded. Under small trees in open places, 
Washington to California. 
N. breviflora Gray Proc. Am. Acad. xi, 315. Stem erect, 4-10 inches 
high, weak, branching from the base: leaves sometimes all alternate, pin- 
nately 5-parted, the divisions approximate, oblong-lanceolate, acute, entire, 
3-9 lines long: peduncles seldom exceeding the petioles: appendages of the - 
calyx nearly half the length of the proper lobes, both ciliate, with long hir- 
sute bristles: corolla whitish or tinged with violet, broadly short-campan- 
ulate, decidedly shorter than the calyx; the lobes considerably shorter than 
the tube; appendages in the throat cuneate, the broad free summit fim- 
briate-incised: style minutely 2-cleft at the apex : seed usually solitary, 
almost filling the cel!, globular, nearly smooth and even; the caruncle 
evanescent. In the Blue Mountains of Oregon. i 
Tribe 2 Phaceliexr B. & H. Gen. wu, 826. Calyx naked at the 
sinuses, deeply 5-parted. Corolla imbricated in the bud. Style, 
from 2-parted to entire: the branches at the apex or the stigmas ob- 
scurely if at all thickened. Ovary mostly hispid or pubescent, at 
least at the apex, either strictly 1-celled or 2-celled by the meeting 
of the linear or lanceolate placentx in the axis: these separating in 
the loculicidal dehiscence and borne on the middle of the semiseptif-
