 corolla: seeds several, 1 line long. Summits of the higher Coast and 

 Mt. Diablo ranges. June Aug.

 deciduous. Stamens on the base of the corolla- tube, unequal. Filiform 

 style and small stigma both entire. Capsule retuse, nearly or quite 

 2-celled. Pitted-reticulate seeds small, numerous, on linear placentae. 



1. R. Sitchensis, Bong. Filiform rootstocks tuberif erous : stems 

 slender, erect, 48 in. high; pedicels spreading, longer than the flowers: 

 calyx-lobes oblong-linear or lanceolate, not equalling the corolla, little 

 shorter than the capsule : style long, slender. Shady wet rocky places 

 among the higher coast mountains. April June. 



6. EBIODICTYON, Benlh. Shrubs, with coriaceous leaves balsamic 

 and fragrant, white-woolly beneath. Inflorescence a terminal panicle of 

 scorpioid cymes. Calyx deeply 5-parted, the segments not widening
