4. Polemonium pulchellum Bunge. P. hnmile vur. pulchellum 

 Gray. P. moschatum Wormskiold. P. Jiumile Lind. 

 P. pulcherrinmm Hook. 



Perennial, about a span high, from a more or less creeping 

 root- stock, few branches, and these principally from the base, 

 conspicuously glandular- pubescent to glabrous; leaves three to 

 six inches long, pinnae five to fifteen, roundish to oblong-oval, 

 two to seven lines long ; inflorescence of rather small loose cymes ; 

 calyx two and one-half lines long, campanulate, lobes longer 

 than the tube, broad-lanceolate; corolla twice the calyx, pink to 

 blue, with yellow tube which about equals the calyx, lobes 

 obovate, crenate; stamens inserted near the base of the tube 

 but adnate to the top, dilated and pilose at the base, shorter 

 than the corolla, equal, anthers round; pistil conspicuously 

 exserted.

The plant originally described by Bunge is from central Asia 

 and it is quite probable that our plant of the California moun- 

 tains is not the same, but it seems impossible now to decide. 



.">. Polemonium parvifolium Nutt. P. viscosum (Nutt.) Gray. 

 Perennial, four to five inches high, from a densely tufted 

 root-stock, with several scaly, short branches bearing closely 

 imbricated leaves at their summits; the flower stems with few 

 and shorter leaves, about twice the length of the basal leaf 

 cluster; the whole plant viscid-pubescent; leaves two to three 

 inches long, leaflets one and one-half lines long or less, nearly 

 as broad, obtuse to broadly acute, at intervals not exceed- 

 ing their own length; flowers on pedicels not exceeding the 

 corolla, in small groups paniculately arranged; calyx two and 

 one-half lines long, lobes nearly equalling the tube, broad- 

 lanceolate, acutish; corolla twice the calyx, bluish to white; 

 filaments hairy appendaged; style shorter than the lobes.
