 Plumas Co., Bolandcr. Muuli like the preceiliu'^, except in the points noted. Tube of the 

 corolla from 1 to 2 inches loii^ ; the limb obliiiue, but the roundish lobes of the two lij)s nearly

 only i! or li lines hmg, and about 2 lines wide, furnlsliud wllli a groove at the He|illferous suture 

 on the sides. JSeeds ilouble the size of those of M. JJutiylasii. — It is well that Lindley's ajjpro- 

 priate name is the earlier ; as there was a mistake in supposing this species to have been in Coul- 

 ter's collection. 



§ 2. Corolla from tabula r-funnel/orm to nearly campanulate ; its lobes about equal 

 ■in leu(/lh : calyx camjuimdate or barely ohlumj, angled in the manner of 

 Miviulus proper : style gland alar-pubescent above : stigma a peltate-funnelfoi-vi 

 and entire or obscurely 2-lubed dilated disk : capsule between membranaceous 

 and coriaceous ; the valves in dehiscence bearing the placentce : dwarf or 

 low annuals, viscid-pubescent or glandular. — Eunanus, Gray. {^Euuanus,

* Small- and sltnder-Jiowered : corolla 3 io G lines long : calyx-teeth nearly equal. 



3. M. leptaleus, Gray. At length mucli branched, 1 to 3 inches high : leaves 

 from spatulatti-oblung to lanceolate-linear (half an inch or less long) : teeth of the 

 campanulate calyx ovate or triniigulai', a quarter or one tliird the length of the tuhe, 

 a little shorter than the oblong-ovate obtuse capsule : corolla crimson-red, slender, 

 •with hliform tube, little enlarged throat, and oblique limb (IJ to 3 lines wide). — 

 Proc. Am. Acad, xi, 9G. 



Sierra Nevada, in gravelly soil, above the Yoseniite, at about 6,000 feet {Miss Dix, Gray), 

 and Sierra Co., Lemmon. Capsule 2 lines long. 



* * Large-Jlowered for the size of the plant {an inch to a span high) : corolla 7 to \l 

 lines long, fiinnelf arm, with widely spreading limb; the proper tube not much if at 

 all longer than the calyx: calyx hardly at all oblique, the teeth almost equal. 

 (Species seemingly too nearly relateil.) 



4. M. Bigelovii, Gray. An inch to a span high : leaves oblong and the upper 

 ovate, acute or acuminate : teeth of the calyx subulate (about 2 lines long when 

 well developed), half the length of the broadly campanulate tube ; the lower ones 

 shorter : corolla with cylindraceous or narrow throat and ample rotate-spreading 

 limb : capsule oblong-lanceolate, acute or acutish, a little exceeding the calyx, the 

 valves membranaceous. — Eunanus Bigelovii, Gray in Pacif. li. Rep. iv. 121. 



Gravelly hills and ravines, on the Mohave and Colorado {Bitjelvw, Cooper), and Tcjon (Xontun), 

 to Western Nevada {Bloomer, Torrcij), and Southern Utah, Parry. Corolla crimson or purple,

5. M. nanus, Hook. & Arn. Prom an inch to at length a span in height : 

 leaves from oblong or the lowest obovate to lanceolate : teeth of the calyx broadly 

 lanceolate or triangular, acute (a line long, fully one fourth the length of the tube) : 

 corolla (either deep crimson-] uu-ple or yellow) with narrow tube rather longer 

 than the calyx, and a gradually dilated fuunellbrm tliroat : capsule with tapering 

 Qj)ox rather exceeding the calyx; valves chartacuous. — Hot. ik'ochey, .'JTH (var. pln- 

 rijlorus). Eunanus Tulmiad, Ueuth. 1. c. J'J. Fremonti, "Watson, Bt)t. King Exp. 22G. 



* Var. (1) bicolor, Gray : a duubtful form, with throat of the corolla abruptly much 

 dilated and " dark purple, the limb yellow." — Eunanus bicolor, Gray, Proc. Am. 

 Acad. vii. 381. 



Hillsides and banks, throughout the Sierra Nevada, extending more or less into the western 

 part of the State, and into Nevada, the eastern borders of Oregon, and to Wyoming. The gieater 

 part of Hooker and Arnott's description of M. lumiis relates to var. subimijloriis, i. c. to M. 

 Douglaaii. The var. bicolor, from the higher parts of the Sierra Nevada in Fresno Co. (^Brewer), 

 is known only from scanty young specimens, and may be i^uito distinct.
