 deep blue with purplish or whitish center, rotate-campanulate, 

 10-20 mm. broad; capsule ovate, abruptly cuspidate-pointed,

Frequent in all the mountains bordering our coast valleys, especially 

 common on fire-swept places in the chaparral belt. March-May. 



P. VISCIDA ALBIFLORA (Nutt.) Gray. Flowers white, otherwise 

 as in the typical form.

 calyx-lobes linear .8- mm. long; corolla rotate-campanulate, 

 2.5-4 cm. broad, purplish or pale bluish; capsule equaling the 

 calyx, the cuspidate persistent and indurated, base of the style

9. P. Whitlavia Gray. About 3 dm. high, loosely branching, 

 hirsute and glandular; leaves ovate or deltoid, incisely toothed ; 

 calyx-lobes linear; corolla with cylindraceous ventricose tube, 

 usually about 2 cm. long and twice the length of the lobes, 

 purple ; appendages to the exserted filaments hairy. 



Occasional on low hills and in the chaparral belt. Verdugo Hills; San 

 Gabriel and Sants Ana Mountains. 



10. P. Parryi Torr. Stems more or less branching, the 

 branches somewhat spreading; herbage hirsute or somewhat his- 

 pid and glandular ; leaves ovate, irregularly and incisely doubly

 campanulate, deep violet, 2 cm. broad; filaments bearded, ex-

 in the Santa Ana Mountains and throughout the western part of San Diego 

 County. 



11. P. longipes Torr. Much resembling the last but more 

 slender, loosely branching ; cauline leaves roundish-oval or sub-
