 twice pinnatijid, or below divided ; the numerous lobes small, somewliat incised, 

 obtuse : corolla bluish, purplish, or white, with lobes shorter than the tube : 

 stamens and style moderately or conspicuously exserted. — Gravelly soil,

4. P. Popei, Torr. & Gray. Viscid-pubescent and hispid with spread- 

 ing hairs, a span to a foot high : leaves bipinnately parted or pinnatifid ; the 

 divisions pinnatifid, with 5 to 9 short, obtuse lobes : calyx-lobes a little longer 

 than the globose capsule: corolla white, campanulate, its lobes entire: sta- 

 mens at leijgth much exserted. — Pacif. R. Rep. ii. 172. Colorado and south-

5. P. sericea, Gray. A span to a foot high from a branching caudex, 

 silky-pubescent or canescent, or the simple virgate stems and inflorescence 

 villous-hirsute, rather leafy to the top : leaves pimiately parted into linear or 

 narrow-ohlong numerous and often again few-cleft or pinnatifid divisions, silky- 

 canescent or sometimes greenish ; the lower petioled ; the uppermost simpler

 violet-blue or whitish: stamens long exserted: capsule a little longer than the 

 calyx. — Mountains of Colorado, Nevada, and northward. 



6. P. Menziesii, Torr. A span to a foot high, at length paniculate- 

 branched, hispid or roughish-hirsute : leaves mostly sessile, linear or lanceolate

 and with a nearly sessile flower in each fork : leaves narrow, linear or nearly
