9. Navarretia tagetina Greene. 



Annual, three to twelve inches high, simple or with few 

 spreading branches, slightly puberulent; leaves few, one-half to 

 one and one-half inches long, the lower lax, once pinnatifid, the 

 rachis and pinnae linear, the upper twice pinnatifid, the secondary 

 pinnae spinescent, terminal primary pinna with many short, 

 acerose teeth or spines, pinnae of the bracts so many and fine as 

 to give a network appearance characteristic of the inflorescence, 

 which is in a terminal head on the nearly bare branch or, in case 

 of primary ones, several clusters together; calyx three lines long, 

 with very irregular lobes, two larger with at least two pair of 

 pinnae, the three smaller with a single lobe near the apex, hyaline 

 portion inconspicuous; corolla purple (or sometimes white?), 

 one-half inch long or less, tube extremely slender, limb compara- 

 tively ample, throat and lobes each a line long; capsule trans- 

 parent, imperfectly obconical, one-celled, with three compressed 

 seeds.
