'5 CLINTONIA Raf. Journ. Phys. 102, 1819. 
Scapose herbs with slender yootstocks, few broad apparently 
radical many-nerved leaves and white or red flowers umbellate 
upon a scape-like peduncle. Perianth campanulate, of 6 distinct 
several-nerved equal deciduous segments. stamens 6, inserted 
on the base of the segments, with filiform filaments and oblong 
to linear versatile anthers, attached on the inner side and laterally 
dehiscent. Ovary sessile, 2-3-celled, with 2 to several ovules in 
each cell. Style slender, deciduous, slightly 2-3-lobed at the 
summit. Fruit a smocth few- to many-seeded berry. seeds 
somewhat compressed or angled, with smooth crustaceous brown- 
ish testa. | 
C. uniflora Kunth Enum. vy, 159. More or less villous-pubescent 
throughout: stems 1-2 inches long, mostly under ground: leaves lanceolate 
or oblanceolate to oblong-obovate, acute or shortly apiculate, attenuate 
below to a sheathing petiole, 4-8 inches long by 1-2 wide: pedancle shorter 
than the leaves, 1- ey 2-flowered: segments of the perianth white, ob- 
lanceolate, obtuse, 8-12 lines long 44 longer than the stamens: style about 
equalling the stamens: berries blue, oblong, 4-6 lines long, the cells 6-10- 
seeded. Common in damp forests in the mountains, California to Alaska. 
C. Andrewsiana Torr. Pac. R. Rep. iv, 150. Nearly glabrous, the

apiculate narrowed below to short petioles or sessile, 6-12 inches long, 2-4 
inches wide; peduncle 1-2 feet high, usually with a foliaceous bract: flow- 
ers deep rose-color, numerous in a termina] umbel and one or more lateral 
umbellate fascicles: pedicels slender, unequal, 4-12 lines long: perianth 
gibbous at base, 4-7 lines Long : stamens a half shorter, about equalling the 
style: filaments pubescent: berries 4-5 lines long, the cells 8-10-seeded. 
In Sequoia forests near the coast, southern Oregon to California. 
6 SCOLIOPIS Torr. Pac. R. Rep. iv, 145, 
Nearly acaulescent glabrous herbs with short fibrous-rooted 
rhizomes, a pair of thin apparently radical leaves subtended by 
scarious sheaths and few flowers on long pedicels in a nearly 
sessile umbel. Perianth of 6 distinct deciduous segments, the 3 
outer lanceolate, several-nerved, the 3 inner narrower and 3-nerved. 
Stamens 3, inserted at the base of the 3 outer segments, with fili- 
form-subulate filaments, and oblong 2-celled extrorse anthers. 
Ovary sessile, strongly triquetrous, 1-celled, the thickened angles 
placentiferous, with about 10 ascending ovules in 2 rows upon 
each placenta.. style very short, persistent : stigmas linear, deep- 
ly channeled down the inner side. Fruit a thin-walled several- 
seeded capsule bursting irregularly. Seeds oblong, slightly curved, 
longitudinally sulcate-striate, with thin close light-colored testa. 
S. Hallii Watson Proc. Am. Acad. xiv, 272. Rhizome short, with 
numerous long fleshy-fibrous roots: stem not rising above the ground: 
leaves broably lanceolate, acute, 3-6 inches long, 1-2 inches wide, narrowed 
below to sheathing petioles: pedicels 1-8, very slender, 2-3 inches long; 
outer segments of the perianth lanceolate or oblanceolate, 3-4 lines long, 
144 lines wide, narrowed to a claw below, yellowish green speckled with 
red outside, striped with purple inside, bent outward near the middle, the
