142 POLEMONIACE^. Gilia. 



G. mininia, Gray. Depressed, often forming broad tufts (half inch to 2 inches high), 

 glabrate : leaves acicular and with simpler and fewer divisions than the preceding : tube of 

 the calyx white-hairy in the broad sinuses, as long as the unequal lobes, which equal or 

 exceed the white corolla : ovules 1 to 3 in each cell. — Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c. ; Watson, Bot. 

 King, 266, Navarretia minima, Nutt. PI. Gamb. 160. — Interior of Oregon and Nevada to 

 Colorado and Dakota, in very arid districts. Corolla a line and a half long; the stamens 

 mostly shorter than its lobes. 



G. Breweri, Gray. Erect or at length much branched and diffusely spreading, an inch 

 to a span high, very minutely glandular-puberulent all over : flowers less glomerate : 

 leaves with mostly simple acicular-subulate divisions : calyx-lobes similar to these, narrowly 

 subulate, about equalling the yellow corolla, 3 or 4 times the length of the tube (which is 

 even shorter than the capsule) : ovules 1 or 2 in each cell. — Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c. & Bot. 

 Calif, i. 494; Watson, 1. c. — Sierra Nevada, California (Brewer, &c.), and through the in- 

 terior to Utah and Wyoming. Corolla 3 or 4 lines long. 



G. leucocephala, Gray, 1. c. Slender, a span or less high, seldom rigid, not glandular, 

 glabrous, except some woolly pubescence at the summit of the stem and of the thin calyx- 

 tube : leaves soft ; their often simple divisions slender ; those of the bracts barely pungent : 

 corolla white, longer than the calyx (4 lines long) : stamens considerably exserted : ovules 

 2 in each cell. — Navarretia leucocephala, Benth. PI. Hartw. 324. — California, on the Sacra- 

 mento and its tributaries, and Mendocino Co., in low grounds. 



* * Leaves simply pinnatifid or incised, or many of them entire. 

 4— All .slender and filiform, except the bracts of the small heads, which are more or less pahnately 

 3-5-cleft: corolla rather slender, 3 or 4 lines long: stems slender, not over a span high, diffusely 

 branched : often with prohferous fihform branches. 



G. divaricata, Torr. Not glandular-viscid, glabrate; the bracts and especially the 

 calyx woolly-pubescent : divisions of the uppermost leaves and the similar bracts acerose : 

 corolla purple or apparently yellowish: ovules 5 to 7 in each cell. — Gray, Proc. Am. 

 Acad. viii. 270, & Bot. Calif, i. 494. — Calif ornia, from Lake Co. to Mariposa Co., up to 8000 

 feet in the Sierra Nevada. 



G. filicaulis, Torr. More paniculate, glandular-viscid but not pubescent : upper leaves 

 filiform or setaceous and entire : bracts somewhat cuneate and the lobes pungent ; the inner 

 shorter than the violet corolla : ovules solitary or at most a pair in each cell. — Gray, 1. c. 

 — California, Mariposa Co. to Butte Co. 



H— H— Leaves broader and rigid, linear or lanceolate, with spinulose lobes ; the floral ones dilated 

 at base and often cartilaginous : stems stout, 2 to 8 inches high: flowers densely glomerate: 

 corolla violet or purple, a third to half inch long, about twice the length of the subulate spinescent 

 calyx-lobes. 



G. viscidula, Gray, 1. c. Viscid-pubescent, at length much branched : cauline leaves slen- 

 der and laciniate-pinnatifid or parted into setaceous-subulate ascending lobes ; the floral and 

 bracts only moderately dilated : ovules 1 to 4 in each cell. — Navarretia viscidula, Benth. PI. 

 Hartw. 325, a small form. — Dry hills, California, from Santa Barbara to the Sacramento 

 and east to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. 

 ■ G. atractyloides, Steud. Pubescent and very viscid, also very rigid, especially the 

 leaves and bracts ; these lanceolate or the uppermost even ovate, all pinnatifid, and with 

 divaricate subulate-spinescent lobes : flowers less glomerate : ovules 6 or 7 in each cell. — 

 yEgocMoa atractyloides, Benth. in Bot. Reg. 1. c. Navarretia atractyloides, Hook. & Arn. Bot. 

 Beech. 368 ; Benth. in DC. Prodr. ix. 310. — California, from Santa Cruz to San Diego Co., 

 in open and dry ground. 



•»—•»—-»— Depressed, an inch or two high, at length prostrate, hardly if at all viscid: leaves up- 

 wardly dilated : flowers comparatively loose and scattered: corolla half to two thirds inch long, 

 tubular-funnelfonn, much exceeding "the calyx. 

 G. setosissima, Gray. Pubescent or glabrate, strikingly setose ; the very long white 

 bristles terminating the lobes of the calyx and the 3 to 7 lobes or teeth of the narrowly 

 cuneate or linear leaves, and scattered or sometimes clustered down their sides : corolla 

 white, purple, or mottled ; the limb slightly irregular : ovules 3 to 10 in each cell. — Proc. 

 Am . Acad. 1. c. 271, & Bot. Calif. 494. Navarretia setosissima, Torr. & Gray, Bot. Ives 

 Colorad. 22. N. Schottii, Torr. Mex. Bound. 242 ( G. Schottii, Watson, Bot. ICing) ; an_early 

 and depauperate form. — Deserts of S. E. California, to W. Arizona and S. Utah, first col-
