■4- ^- FerenuiaU, ivith soft and not hrintly pubescence : corolla short-campannlate, with 

 very large ami hroad internal appendages tuiited in pairs to or across the base of 

 the filament : leaves all p)etioled : stems nearly simple : flowers cymose-clustered. 



11. P. hydrophylloides, Ton-. A spun or two high from a thickened root or 



rootstock, runesciuitiy pul)L'ricent, above hirsute and glandular : leaves silky-pubes- 

 cent both sides, ovate or rhombic (an inch or two long), obtuse, incisely few-t(jothe<l

 llowers in a glomerate pedunculate cyme, the short spikes of which hardly lengthen : 

 corolla violet or whitish : anthers short-linear : style almost 2-parted : capsule aljout

Diy sandy or gravelly soil, in the higher sierras, from Mariposa to Sierra Counties, Brewer, 

 Bolandcr, Lciniium, kc. Has the aspect of a Hydroj)hyUum, whence the name.

-f- 4- -{- Annual, bristly hispid, branching. 



13. P. loasaefolia, Torr. A foot high, very hispid with long and spreading 

 bristly hairs (as in F. malvcefolia, which it resembles), also viscid-pubescent : leaves 

 ovate or oblong, or the lower almost cordate, more or less pinnatitid and the lobes 

 incisely toothed : spikes rather crowded : corolla whitish, a little longer than the 

 calyx-lobes ; the semi-cordate broad internal appendages auriculate-inflexed at the 

 base, where they are united with the base of the filament, free and pointed at the 

 apex : ovules 12 to 18. — Eutoca loasfefolia, Benth. 1. c. 



Near Monterey, Douglas, Parry. Seldom collected and little known ; in aspect between P. 

 malvafolia and P. raviosissima. 



* * Stamens equalling or slightly exceeding the rotaie-campamdate corolla. 



+- Appendages of the corolla large, semi-obovate, the pairs united at base before the 

 base of the filament : root perennial ? 



14. P, Bolanderi, Gray. Hispid with slender bristles, above viscid-pubescent: 

 stem stout, a foot or two high, loosely branched : lower and radical leaves lyrate 

 and oblong in outline, at base usually with one or two pairs of small and incised

 cymes once to thrice forked, the divisions racemose : corolla large (almost an inch

 stamens and style slightly if at all longer than the lobes of the ample and almost rotate corolla. 

 It is uncertain if the root is perennial. 



-f- -t- Aj'JJ^endages of the corolla long and narrow, free from the filaments : calyx-lobes
