POLEMONIACE.E. 53 



G. nigellaeformis, Greene. Habit of G. cotulaefolia: flower clusters conspicuously 

 involucrate, the bracts broad and divided into bristle-like segments: 2 larger calyx-lobes 

 bristly pinnatifid, the others 3, with puugeut teeth: corolla deep yellow, with 5 purple 

 or crimson spots in the funnelform throat. Near Visalia, Dr. T. J. Patterson. 



G. mitracarpa, Greene. Depressed and diffuse, hairy, .the inflorescence glandular, 

 leaves rigid and pungent, with about 2 pairs of 2-parted basal segments, and a lanceo- 

 late toothed terminal one: 2 calyx-lobes with a spinulose tooth on each side, 3 entire 

 and shorter: pod 1 -seeded. Lake Co. 



G. prolifera, Greene. Erect, spreading, a span to a foot high, with rather large 

 capitate flower clusters, the slender, naked, wiry branches radiating from beneath the 

 earlier clusters and ending in similar heads: leaves an inch long, glabrous, linear-fili- 

 form, entire, or with one or two pairs of segments at the base: calyx and pungent bracts 

 whitish with a viscid wool: calyx-tubes thin-membranous, longer than the teeth: corolla 

 almost salyerform, purplish or blue with a yellow throat. 



G. tagetina, Greene. Stems mostly strict and simple, a foot or more high, spar- 

 ingly leafy, glabrous, glandless: leaves pinnately parted into 7-9 linear segments which 

 are spinulose- toothed or pinnatifid: bracts divided into rigid pungent lobes, whitish 

 hairy below: calyx segments very unequal, the 2 larger pinnately, the 3 smaller nearly 

 palmately parted into ridged filiform divisions: corolla very slender, 9 lines long: ovules 

 many. 



G. foliacea, Greene. Similar to G. atractyloides, but odorless, more diffuse and 

 leafy, less spinose, the calyx-lobes very unequal: corolla white, little surpassing the 

 calyx. 



Under Navarretia Greene describes G. cotulaefolia of this book, as "rigid, 4-8 

 inches high, somewhat glandular: leaves twice pinnatifid into slender, herbaceous, soft 

 and innocuous segments, the uppermost ones and the bracts decidedly spinescent: 

 flowers white, 4-merous. A peculiar soft-leaved and scentless species." Greene also 

 decides that G. pubescens, Benth., which has been confounded with G. cotulaefolia, 

 Benth., is a good species, which may be distinguished by leaf segments, all with sharp 

 and stiff teeth or lobes: calyx teeth all pungent, 3 small and entire, 2 twice as large and 

 toothed: corolla deep blue or purple, 9 lines long: stamens exserted:- odor strong, goat- 

 like. G. viscidula, Gr., var. heterodoxa, Gr., is considered a good species by 

 Greene, and is thus distinguished. Extremely viscid, the odor like that of a skunk: 

 stamens exserted and declined. 



Gilia in Bay-Reg. Bot. contains only species found in this book under 7, Hugelia, 

 and 9, Eugelia. G. gilioides is G. glutinosa of this book. Collomia includes 

 one each of 11, Courtoisia, and 12, Collomia. G. graciles of the last section 

 is Phlox gracilis in Greene's book. 



G. leptalea, Greene. Distinguished from G. capillaris by being less glandular, 

 less leafy and the leaves narrower, more slender and divergent branches and a much
