54 HYDROPHYLLACE^E. 



larger corolla, fully 6 lines long of a rich red-purple, while that of the latter species 



with which it has been confused is barely 2 lines, long and white or pale purple. 



These species were first clearly distinguished by Prof. Greene in Erythea, Mar. 1896. 



G. millefoliata, Fisch & Mey., is according to Greene distinguished from G. multi- 

 caulis most obviously by the corolla, that of the latter dark violet throughout and 

 much larger than the 2- colored corolla of the former, which has white or bluish lobes, 

 the throat with 5 dark spots. 



G. abrotanifolia, Nutt. Nearly glabrous, 1-2 ft. high, simple or a few branches, 

 these and the upper main stem naked and pedunculiform bearing a terminal dense 

 cymose cluster of large blue flowers: calyx membranous except the midribs: stameus 

 scarcely exserted. Santa Inez Mts. 



G. Chamissonis, Greene, should, if the author of the name is correct, displace 

 G. achillaefolia of this book and Bay-Reg. Rot., because the latter name was given by 

 Bentham to a large form of G. multicaulis, while the plant heretofore known under 

 that name was named Polemonium capitatum by Eschscholtz. 



G. staminea, Greene must according to the above take the place of G. capitata. 



G. Rawsoniana, (Greene) stems clustered from a perennial root, a foot high or 

 more, sparingly branched, soft-hairy, viscid: leaves broadly lanceolate, coarsely serrate 

 above: flowers glomerate at the ends of the branches: corolla bright salmon-color to 

 orange, 18 lines long, tubular-funnel-form, segments acute. High valleys Fresno Co.

HYDROPHYLLACEJE. 



Inflorescence usually scorpioid; flowers perfect, regular, 5-androus, the two styles 

 distinct at least at the apex, except in Romanzoffia which has the stigmas as well as the 

 styles united. Ovary commonly hispid or hirsute, at least at the top. Mostly herbs, 

 with alternate or rarely opposite leaves and no stipules. In one of our genera the 

 plants are shrubs, and in another they are more or less woody at the base. Key to 

 genera and species p. 149. 



ELLISIA. 



Ellisia membranacea is in Ray-Reg. Bot. Nemophila membranacea ; and E. 

 chrysanthemifolia is Eucrypta chrysanthemifolia. 



NEMOPHILA. 



N. pedunculata, Benth. Only 2-4 inches high: corolla 2 lines or less in width, 

 white with purple veinlets.
