 like that of hydrochloric acid, that of root yellowish. Cotyledons of the. common

trate calyx : mature seeds with a coarse and salient superficial reticulation of tiie 



episperni : flowers lasting for 3 or 4 days.

brandling roots, at length a foot or two high and leafy -stemmed : petals flabelliform, inch

 72, 1S2, 1S3; K. Brandegee, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci. ser. 2, i. 24.5-251, & Zee, i. 278-2S2. While Mrs. 

 Brandegee's observations on the intergradation of these plants are .substantiated by specimens, the 

 general reduction of fonns so different to one si^ecies is undesirable. 



4 Add syn. E. compacta, Walp. Rep. i. 116, a species recently restored by Prof. E. L. Greenu, 

 who regards it as strictly annual. E. tenuisecta, Greene, Pittouia, i. 169, is a form of the same. 

 E. Californicum, as wdely drawn by Dr. Gray, should probably include also the following species, 

 based largely upon vegetative and doubtfidly trustworthy characteristics. E. leptandra, Greene, 

 Pittonia, i. 169, a very glaucous form with short and rather broad leaf-segment.s. (Neither the 

 number of stamens nor the length of the anthers furnishes a satisfactory distinction.) E. cucullata, 

 Greene, Erythea, ii. 120, a maritime form with leaves " compact and small, all the divisions broad, 

 when young strongly cucullate-incurved and even in age noticeably so." E. glauca, Greene, Pittonia, 

 i. 45, a glaucous form ^vith delicate foliage.
