10. H. gibbosa Cav. 



A broad shrub, becoming 6 to 8 ft. high: twigs and young leaves 

 hirsute with short spreading hairs: leaves cylindric, rigid, smooth, simple 

 and entire, sharply pointed, 1 to 3 in. long: pedicels densely pubescent: 

 corolla glabrous: capsule ovoid, oblique, about 1^ in. long, nearly 1 in. 

 broad, rough, abruptly contracted to a short oblique beak, each valve 

 with a small dorsal horn near the apex. Illustrations: Fig. 8; Cav., Icon., 

 pi. 534; Bot. Cook's First Voy., pi. 266. 



Grown on the University grounds at Berkeley, a specimen 

 determined by Dr. J. H. Maiden. Probably also elsewhere in 

 the state but under erroneous names. More slender than H. 

 suaveolens and better suited to small private grounds; almost 

 equally as resistant to abuse, and should be tried with that 

 species in reforestation experiments.

11. H. pugioniformis Cav. 



A shrub with the habit, foliage, and general characters of H. gibbosa, 

 from which it differs as follows: Corolla pubescent: style long, the disk 

 nearly straight: capsule much more slender, lanceolate, acuminate, about 

 1 in. long and *4 in. broad, rough around the middle with an obliquely 

 transverse prominent crest, each valve tapering to a slender point. 

 Illustrations : Cav., Icon., pi. 533 ; Bot. CooTc 's First Voy., pi. 265. 



Grown at Santa Barbara, according to Dr. Franceschi, who 

 says that it is an odd plant, which at a distance looks like a 

 small pine. Some plants found under this name in the trade 

 belong to H. suaveolens, a species easily distinguished by the 

 mostly branched leaves and much thicker capsules.
