14. ESCHSCHOLTZIA, (Ikiiii. Although the treatment of tilis genus 

 on {Kiges 'JU-'J2 is essentially un.sati,-,ta(lury, and material at hand shows that 

 several of the species rest upon untrustworthy characters, yet no successful revis- 

 ion can be made without prolonged field study. Unfortunately, nearly all the 

 more recent species have been made without any recognition of the inhirent 

 variability of the plants in question, or, what is still more delusive, the changes 

 which individuals undergo as the season progresses. It is allirmed by the more 

 cautious California botanists, who have tiiken no part in the discussions relative 

 to this genus, that plants which early in the season bear large aud deeply colored 

 flowers are apt later to produce small and paler ones. Size and color of the 

 flowers are, therefore, not to be lightly used as specific distinctions. It is to be 

 feared, also, that undue importance has been ascribed to the dilated rim of the 

 torus, which in some cases is variable in otherwise similar plants.
