Hydrophyllaceae 319 



7. L. bicolor (Nutt.) Greene. Very near the last, but small, 

 5-7 cm. high; flowers rose-purple, the elongated corolla-tube 

 12-18 mm. long, the limb 4-6 mm. broad. (Leptosiphon bicolor 

 Nutt. ; Gilia tenella Benth.) 



Wilson's Peak, Davidson. 



8. It. ciliatus (Benth.) Greene. Stems rigid, strict, 1-2 dm. 

 high, scabrous-pubescent; internodes long ; leaves with 5-9 linear, 

 rigidly and densely ciliate segments ; corolla rose color, scarcely 

 exceeding the floral leaves, its limb 4 mm. broad or less. (Gilia 

 ciliata Benth.) 



Wilson's Peak, growing in open grassy places among the pines. We have 

 not seen Davidson's specimens, but we strongly suspect that they belong to 

 this species rather than to L. bicolor, as listed by him. May-July.
