5. C. tennis, Gray, 1. c. Diffusely branched from the base, a foot or two high,

 each one sessile in the axil of a clasping bract : herbage not glandular but 

 sometimes viscid-pubescent : no callous gland at the tips of the leaves. 

 HEMISTEGIA, Gray. 



* Stamens 4, all with villous filaments and 2-celled antJiers ; their cells bearded at 



base and apex : leaves mostly 3-cleft. 



6. C. Kingii, "Watson. A span to a foot high, much branched, viscidly pubes- 

 cent : divisions of the leaves linear-filiform : bracts 3 - 5-cleft : flowers crowded at

 inch long. Bot. King Exp. 1. c. t. 22. 



Monitor Valley, Nevada ( Watson), and Southern Utah : not yet known in California. 



* * Stamens 4, with glabrous filaments : anthers of the longer stamens 2-celled, of the 

 shorter ivith a small lower cell only ; merely the base of the anther-cells ciliolate or 

 bearded : leaves all entire. 



7. C. canescens, Gray, 1. c. About a foot high, corymbosely branched, rather

 within it. 



8. C. maritinrus, Xutt. 1. c. A foot or less high, corymbosely branched from 

 the base, pale, less hoary -pubescent than the preceding, which it resembles : the
