12. E. angustifolium, Torr. Hispid with very stilf spreading bristles, often 

 accompanied by softer hairs, low, dill'usely branched : leaves narrowly linear : calyx 

 very closely sessile and mostly persistent in the densely Huwered spikes, its lobes 

 almost iiliibrni in fruit (less than 2 lines long, not lunger indeed than their rigid 

 tlivaricate bristles) : corolla minute, but its crests prominent : nutlets miinite (barely 

 half a line long), oblong-ovate, minutely and densely granulate, the scar gradually 

 broadening from api'x to base, allixed by its whole length to tiie conical-subulate 

 gynobase. — Tacif. U. iJep. v. 3G3.

* * Nutlets roundish at the sides, somewhat incurved at maturity, attached to a pyra- 

 midal gynohase by a shorter narrow salient scar : calyx less hispid, not separating at 

 maturity: style short: corolla larger {limb 3 or 4 lines in diameter). (Intermedi- 

 ate between this section and § Plagiohothrys.) 



13. E. Kingii, Watson. Apparently biennial, villoushirsute and somewhat his- 

 pid : stems erect or spreading, a sjian high, rather stout : leaves from spatulate or 

 the upper oblong to obk)ng-linear : llowers very short-pedicelled, crowdeil in short 

 spikes or clusters, which are sometimes leafy at base : calyx-lobes lanceolate : tube 

 of the corolla not longer than its lobes, the crests consjiicuous : nutlets triangidar- 

 ovate, with the summit at maturity incurved, roughish-rugose on the llattish back ; 

 the scar linear-lanceolate in outline and somewhat salient, extemling from above the 

 broad rounded base to beyond the middle. — Bot. King Exp. 243, t. 23 ; (jray,

* * * Nutlets three-sided and with acute lateral angles, attached by the lower part of 

 the ventral angle to a subulate or narroiv-columnar gynobase; style mostly long: 

 anthei'S linear-oblong : co7'olla rather large and the crests in its throat very promi-

14. E, glomer^tum, DC. IJoot biennial, or in the mountain form jierhaps 

 perennial, a span lo a foot high, grayish-hirsute and hispid : leaves spatulate and 

 linear-spatulate : tube of the corolla not suri)assing the linear-lanceolate lobes of 

 the very bristly hispid (sometimes yellowish) calyx, and hardly longer than its 

 lobes, the limb 3 to 5 lines in diameter: millets tuberculato-rugosc on the back. —
