 abound iu poor soil. 



41. Gr. tricolor, Benth. A span to a foot or two in lieight, in age diffusely 

 branched : ilowcrs few in the loosely paniculate and rather short-peduncled clusters : 

 pedicels sliorter than the viscid-puberuleut or rarely glabrous calyx : corolla (one 

 third to half an inch long) with very short proper tube and ample eampanulate- 

 funnelform throat, which is pale yellow or orange below, dark purple above, and the 

 lilac or violet roundish lobes longer tlian tlie stamens. — Hort. Trans, viii. t. 18;

Common through the western part of the State and the fout-hills ; famihar in cultivation. 



42. Gr. tenuiflora, Benth. Commonly u foot high, slender : radical and lower 

 cauline leaves wilii shorter lobes than in the two preceding species : upper leaves 

 few, small, ixud simpler ; llowers mostly slender-pedicelled in the loose panicle : 

 corolla pur[)le or rose-color, funnelform with slender tube, 4 or 5 times the length 

 of the calyx (7 to U lines long) ; its lobes broadly obovate and longer than the 

 stamens. — Lindl. Bot. lleg. t. 1888. 



Var. latiilora, Cray, 1. c. : a form with shorter tube to the corolla, more abruptly 

 dilated throat, and broader limb : radical leaves sometimes simply pinnatihd.

43. G. inconspicua, Dougl. A sjjan to a foot high, at length loosely nmch 

 braaclied, .somewhat viscid or glandular, when young usually a slight woolliness 

 upon the foliage : radical and lower leaves pinnately parted into numerous short 

 oblong or lanceolate and commonly few-toothed or incisely-lobed divisions ; the 

 upper with simple and fewer mostly linear divisions : pedicels some slender and

 length of the calyx. — Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 2883, Ipomopsis inconspicua, Sniith, 

 Exot. Bot. t. 14. Cantna parvijlora, Pursh. This is the smaller-flowered form, with 

 tube of the corolla at lirst shorter than the calyx, and lobes only a line long. It 

 passes by gradation into 



Var. sinuata, Cray, 1. c., with tube of corolla more slender and exserted, and 

 lobes often 2 lines long : lobes of tlie radical leaves commonly narrow and entire. — 

 G. sinuata, Dougl. ex Benth. in DC. Prodr. ix. 313. G. arenaria, Benth., appears 

 to be a form of this, from the sea-beach at Monterey, with short ovate lobes to 

 the radical leaves, and a sleader corolla-tube, seemingly passing into G. tenuijlura. 



Dry or gravully grouiul, conunon nearly throughout tlio Stale and in Oregon, and eaat tiuough 

 the Rocky Mountain region. 



44. Gp. leptomeria. Gray. A span high, minutely glandular or viscid : leaves 

 mainly in a radical tuft, narrowly oblong (about an inch long), pinnatitid with very 

 short lobes or merely incised ; the cauline small, linear, entire, mostly reduced to 

 bracts of the ample and elfuse cymose panicle : pedicels some liliform, some shorter
