Jim-ar once or twice pinnately parted or cleft divisions, 

 all sessile or nearly so, the lobes mostly linear oblong: 

 spikes cyraosely clustered, at length elongated : very 

 short fruiting pedicels ascending or erect: calyx-lobes 

 linear or linear -spatulate, not twice the length of the 

 ellipsoidal capsule; stamens and style conspicuously 

 exserted : seeds with very narrow pits bounded by thick 

 walls. Calif, and northward. B.M. 3703. Var. alba, 

 Hort., has been offered. 



5. Whitlavia, Gray (\VJntlai-ia grandifldra, Harv.). 

 Fig. 1731. About a foot h'igh, loosely branching, hirsute 

 and glandular: Ivs. ovate or deltoid, incisely toothed: 

 corolla with cylindraceous ventricose tube usually an 

 inch long, thrice the length of the lobes: appendages to 

 the filaments hairy. Southern Calif. B.M. 4813. F.S. 

 11:1085. G.C. 1854:679. A beautiful species and much 

 cultivated, with flowers an inch long and nearly as wide. 

 Var. gloxinioides ( Whitldvia gloxinioldes, Hort.) and 

 var. alba ( Wkitl&via dlba, Hort.) are horticultural 

 forms with spotted and white fls. respectively. 



6. campanularia, Gray. Lower than the last: Ivs. 

 subcordate or cordate, less deeply dentate: tube of the 

 truly campanulate corolla % in. long, expanded at 

 throat, barely twice the length of the lobes : appendages 

 to the filaments glabrous and smaller, otherwise much 

 like the last and almost as showy. S. Calif. B.M. 6735. 

 G.C. II. 20:135. F. 1883:145. Gn. 31, p. 554; 55:1206. 

 P. campanulata of some is presumably this plant. 



7. Parryi, Torr. Rather slender, 9-18 in. high : Ivs. 

 ovate, irregularly and incisely double-toothed or lacin- 

 iate, or the lowest sometimes pinnately parted; the 

 upper continue longer than their petioles : corolla cleft 

 beyond the middle, deep violet, 8 lines across; fila- 

 ments bearded: ovules on each placenta 20-30; seeds 

 15-20. Calif. B.M. 6842. G.C. II. 24:716. 



8. viscida, Torr. (Eutbca viscida, Benth.). Fig. 1732.

 dular above: Ivs. ovate or obscurely cordate, doubly or 

 incisely and irregularly dentate, 1-2 in. long: corolla 

 deep blue, with purple or whitish center, from half to 

 nearly an inch in diam. Calif. B.R. 21:1808. B.M. 

 5572. R.H. 1851:361. J.H. III. 29:183. 



9. fimbriata, Michx. (Cosmdnthus fimbri&ttis, Nolte). 

 Weak and diffuse, a span high, somewhat hirsute: cau- 

 line Ivs. 3-7-cleft or lobed or the lower lyrately divided, 

 the lobes obtuse or roundish : racemes few-fid. : pedi- 

 cels filiform: calyx-lobes linear-oblong or spatulate; 

 corolla white, only 3-4 lines broad, shorter than the 

 stamens, its lobes fimbriate. Alleghany Mts., Va. to 

 Ala. 



10. M6nziesii, Torrey (Eutbca multiflora, Dougl.). 

 Plant 9-12 in. high, at length paniculate-branched, his- 

 pid or roughish hirsute, usually also minutely cinere- 

 ous-pubescent: Ivs. mostly sessile, linear or lanceolate, 

 entire or a few of them deeply cleft, with few or single 

 linear or lanceolate entire lobes: spikes or spike-like 

 racemes thyrsoid-paniculate, at length elongated and 

 erect: corolla bright violet or sometimes white: ovules 

 12-16: capsule shorter than the calyx; seeds oblong, 

 coarsely favose-reticulated. Calif, to Wash., and east 

 t.> Montana and Utah. B.R. 14:1180. B.M. 3762 (E. 

 Menziesii).A beautiful species, and easily cult. 



11. divaricata, Gray (Eutdca divaricata, Benth.). 

 iffusely spreading, a span high, more or less hirsute 



and pubescent: Ivs. ovate or oblong, mostly longer than 

 the petiole, occasionally 1-2-toothed or lobed at base, 

 the rims curving upwards: spikes or racemes at length 

 loose; the pedicels usually much shorter than the ca- 

 lyx: style 2-cleft at apex: ovules 12-20 on each placenta. 

 Calif. B.M. 3706. B.R. 21:1784. 



Var. Wrangeliana, A. DC. Fig. 1733. Differs from 

 tin- Type only in having the Ivs. inclined to be lobed or 

 -J-toothed. It is known to the trade as Eutoca Wran- 

 yli'imi, F. & M. P.M. 5:199. 



12. Orcuttiana, Gray. Viscid, puberulent, about 1 ft. 

 Kb: Ivs. pinnatitid, somewhat lyrate, the lobes short- 

 blong and entire: fls. sessile in the at length elongated 



lense spikes ; corolla rotate-campanulate, double the 

 gth of the calyx, with limb 3-4 lines broad, white, 

 Ii yellow eye, nearly or quite destitute of internal 



appendages; capsule oval, nearly equaling the narrowly 



spatulate (barely 2 lines long) sepals, 12-14-seeded; 

 seeds oval, obscurely favose-reticulated between the 

 transverse corrugations. Lower Calif. 



L. F. HENDERSON. 



PKffiDKANASSA (Greek, gay queen). Amarijlli- 

 dclcece. Five or 6 species of tender summer-blooming 

 bulbs, with fls. that are tubular in appearance, borne in 

 umbels, generally drooping and usually bright red with 

 green tips. They are all found in the Andes at 7,000- 

 12,000 ft., except P. Carmioli, a native of Costa Rica, 

 which differs from all other species in having the peri- 

 anth segments much shorter than the tube. Probably 

 the choicest species is P. chloracra, the tube of which 

 seems at first sight over 2 in. long; however, the seg- 

 ments are merely connivent most of the distance and it

is only for a distance of a third of an inch at the base 

 that they are really grown together into a tube. This 

 species has 6-12 fls. in an umbel. Judging from descrip- 

 tions, the showiest species should be P. Lehmanni, 

 which, however, has only 3-4 fls. in an umbel and seems 

 to have dropped out of cult. P. gloriosa, Hort., recom- 

 mended by some American dealers, seems to be un- 

 known to botanists. 



Generic characters : perianth subcylindrical ; seg- 

 ments 6, equal, regular, spreading only at the tip: sta- 

 mens inserted at or below the throat of the tube: ovary 

 3-celled; ovules many, superposed; capsule globose, 

 loculicidally 3-valved; seeds many, small, black. The 

 Ivs. are petioled, oblong or lanceolate, produced after 

 the fls. according to Baker, but this point is doubtful 

 for all species. Baker, Amaryllideae. 



A. Fls. chiefly red. 



chloracra, Herb. Bulb globose, 2-3 in. thick: Ivs. 

 produced after the fls. : blade 8-12 in. long, 2-3 in. wide; 

 petiole % ft. long, according to Baker: fls. scarlet, tipped 

 green. Andes of Ecuador, to 12,000 ft. B.R. 31:17 

 (petiole 1-3 in. long). 



AA. Fls. chiefly green. 



viridifldra, Baker. Bulb ovoid, 1% in. thick: leaf 

 solitary; blade %-2 in. broad; petiole short, fls. about
