Sierra NevaJa (on llio Mono trnil, Bnln-nder ; Sierra Vnllry, I/-tnmn)i). Apjiarrntly of the 

 snino species is a ])lnnt in Hattan's collection, with similar (sterilo >.) llowers, but brunches nnil 

 I'olinge minutely hirsute. Plauts njiparently one or two feet high : base of stem not seen. Leaves 

 3 to 6 lines long. Corolla a line and a half broad. 



9. Gr. pubens, Oray, 1. c. Cinereous-pubescent througbout witli short and

Var. scabridum, with shorter, less coi)ious, and rather scalirous i)ubcsceuce : 

 ovary glalirous. 



Yoseniito Valley {Bolamhr, Tm-rcy, Oray). Stems about 2 feet long. Leaves 4 lines long. 

 Corolla 2 lines broad, sometimes 3-5-cleft. Fruiting pedicels little over a lino in length. 



+- ■¥- With erect and wholbj herbaceous smooth stems : fruit smooth or merely jnibes- 

 cent : leaves 3 - b -nerved. 



10. Gr. boreale, T.inn. Glabrous and smooth, or nearly so, strictly erect, leafy : 

 leaves in fours, lanceolate or almost linear, bluntish : cymes many -flowered, in a 

 thyrsiform panicle : corolla white : fruit very minutely hairy or smooth. 



Shaded or open banks of streams, towanls Oregon ; t.licnce northward and eastward to the At- 

 lantic. (The plant of Xantus from Fort Tejon, No. 40, belongs to the next species.)

 {ifellnwish-white) Jlowers : sterile ovaries (jhihrous or naked : the fruit clothed with 

 Ion;/ ir/iite hairs, vhich are vol hooked at the tip. 



11. G. angUStifolium, Nutt. Shrubby at ba.'^o, 1 to 4 feet high, glabrous : Ihn 

 brandies rigid or strict, smooth on the angles : leaves in fours, linear, mucronate- 

 acuto, rigid, 1-norved, veinle.ss, with barely scabrous margins : cymes small and nu- 

 merous in a narrow panicle : llowers very small, greenish-white : fruit hispid or 

 hirsute, \vith straight bristles not longer than itself. — G. trichocarpum & angnstifo-

Near the coast, Santa Rarbnra to San Diego, and east to Fort Tejon. l»isiiig to 3 or 4 feet high 

 when supported on bushes. Leaves from 3 to 8 lines long. The m.ile plaut, which ha.s smooth 

 and glabrous abortive ovaries, was taken for G. .vifnilirosiim in the Botany of the Mexican Boun- 

 dary, and for G. boreale in the Tejon collection by Xantus. The female plant does not accord 

 with any Chilian species, neither with the G. criocar/mm of Bartling (whether that be Hooker 

 and Arnott's si>ecic3 of that name, or G. Gi/tinsit), !ior with G. t.ricJior/irpnm, DC, which by 

 the character answers to G. C/iami.isovli, Hook, k Arn. Wherefore Nuttnll's name for one of 

 the forms may be adopted for this species. 



12. GJ-. Bloomeri, Gray. Low, 3 to 12 inches high, wholly smooth and gla- 

 brous, much branched from the suft'rutescent base : leaves in fours, and some of the 

 uppermost only in pairs, ovate, cuspidate-acuminate, rigid, 1 - 3-nerved : flowers 

 yellowish-white, somewhat panicled ; the sterile ones very short-i>edicelled ; the fer- 

 tile mostly longer than the long villous hairs of the fruit, and erect. — Proc. Am. 

 Acad. vi. 538 ; Watson, Hot. King. 135. 



Var. hirsutum, (!ray. Stems au'l leaves hirsute with spreading hairs: leaves 

 thinner : otherwise like a small form of G. Bloomeri.
