Calyx 5 - 6-parted ; the divisions slender-subulate, carinate. Corolla campan- 

 ulate, not appendaged or gland-bearing ; the tube shorter than the 5 or 6 obovate or 

 oblong ample lobes. Filaments filiform, borne in the throat. Anthers oblong, not 

 twisted. Style filiform/ persistent : stigma of 2 broad plates. Capsule ovoid, many- 

 seeded. Glaucous annuals or biennials ; with oblong partly clasping leaves, and 

 showy slender-peduncled flowers ; the corolla generally sky-blue or lavender-color. 

 Of the two published species, one, E. Russelianum, very ornamental in cultivation, 

 belongs to Texas and adjacent districts. E. gracile, Engelm. ined., of Northern 

 Mexico, is perhaps a slender variety of it. The remaining less showy species is 



1 . E. exalt atum, Grisebach. A foot or two high : leaves cordate-clasping and 

 often connate, 1 to 3 inches long : corolla about an inch long ; its lobes nearly 

 oblong and only twice the length of the tube : capsule elliptical-oblong, very obtuse.

2. L. effiisa, Gray. Eesembles L. tenuifolia, but more diffusely much branched 

 from an annual root : leaves apparently all entire, short-filiform, from half to a 

 fourth of an inch long (but the lowest are wanting) : flowers loosely panicled : calyx- 

 teeth very short, pointed from a broad base : corolla barely half an inch long, 

 " pink " or purple ; the cuneate and truncate obscurely 3-toothed lobes as long as 

 the tube (which little surpasses the calyx) and nearly equalling the declined incurved 

 capillary filaments and style. Proc. Am. Acad. xi. 86, where a section, GILIOPSIS, 

 is proposed for this very Gilia-like species and L. tenuifolia.

To the character of the genus add : leaves sometimes toothed. 



3. Perennials, sometimes woody below; the pubescence hispid or hirsute: flowers 

 densely clustered : leaves with undulate or sinuate-toothed margins, sessile. 



5. N. Rothrockii, Gray. A span or two high from a perennial root, cinereous- 

 pubescent or minutely hirsute and slightly viscid : the stem, calyx, &c., hispid with 

 long and sharp ( Wigandia-like) bristles : leaves lanceolate-oblong, obtusely pinnati- 

 fid-toothed : flowers numerous in a terminal and sessile capitate cluster : sepals 

 hardly at all dilated upward, half an inch long, nearly equalling the corolla : seeds 

 rather few, large (almost a line long), oval, closely reticulate-pitted. 



Meadows on S. Kern River, at 5,000 feet, Rothrock, in Wheeler's Exped., 1875. Leaves an 

 inch or more long ; the rather prominent pinnate veins running to the sinuses between the strong 

 teeth, and there forking. Corolla whitish or purplish. Ovary and 2-celled capsule somewhat 

 hirsute. Most remarkable in the genus for the toothing of the leaves and for the almost stinging 

 hail's, like those of Wigandia. But the narrow funnelform corolla and the habit are those of Nama. 



6. N. Farxyii, Gray. Six feet high ! from a woody stout base : leaves linear, 

 villous-hirsute throughout, numerously pinnately veined and somewhat bullate, the 

 margins revolute and undulate or repand : flowers unilateral and at length densely 

 spicate on the few branches of the compact scorpioid cyme : sepals nearly filiform, 

 little surpassing the oval capsule : seeds oval, half a line long, minutely marked with 

 narrow transverse reticulations.
