incised, the lobes short ; the upper becoming simple, small and entire : branches loosely 

 few-flowered: pedicels shorter than the flower: corolla (7 to 9 lines long) rose-color with 

 violet throat, narrowly funnelforra or even trumpet-shaped; its slender tube fully thrice 

 the length of the calyx : capsule ovoid-oblong. — Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1. 1888; Gray, 1. c, excl. 

 var. — California, from Monterey southward. 

 G. inconspicua, Dougl. Mostly low, a span to a foot or more high, usually with slight 

 woolly pubescence wlien young, and viscid glandular, branching from the base : leaves 

 mostly pinnatifid or pinnately parted, or the lowest bipinnatifid, with short mucronate-cus- 

 pidate lobes ; the uppermost becoming small, subulate, and entire : flowers either somewliat 

 crowded and subsessile or at length loosely panicled and some of them slender-pedicclled : 

 corolla violet or purphsh (3 to 5 lines long), narrowly funnelform, with proper tube shorter 

 or slightly longer than the calyx. — Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 2883 (corolla too salverform) ; 

 Benth. in DC. 1. c. ; Gray, 1. c. G. parviflora, Spreng. Syst. i. 626. Cantua parvijlora, Pursh, 

 Fl. ii. 730. Ipomopsis inconspicua, Smith, Exot. 1. 14. — Wyoming to the western border of 

 Texas, and west tp California and British Columbia. Very variable in size and form of 

 corolla, passing into 



Var. sinuata, Gray, 1. c. Corolla larger, at least in proportion to the calyx, becom- 

 ing thrice its length, with tube more exserted and throat and lobes more ample. — G. simiata, 

 Dougl. ; Benth. in DC. 1. c. G. arenaria, Benth. 1. c. — Oregon and California to New 

 Mexico. Some forms approaching the two preceding. 



— — Seeds destitute of mucilage and spiricles when wetted, numerous: leaves nearly all radical, 

 barely pinnatifid or toothed; the cauline mainly reduced to small subulate bracts of the open 

 compound panicle, which is about a span high : some flowers with very short, others with slender 

 pedicels, in the manner of G. inconspicua and related species. 

 G. leptomeria, Gray. Minutely somewhat glandular-viscid : radical leaves oblong or 

 broadly lanceolate (an inch or more long), incisely toothed or sinuate-pinnatifid ; the ob- 

 tuse teeth or lobes minutely mucronate-cuspidate : cymose, panicle effuse: flowers incon- 

 spicuous : corolla whitish, 2 or 3 lines long, fully twice the length of the calyx, slender- 

 funnelform, and with very small acute lobes : capsule ovoid, equalling or surpassing the 

 triangular acute calyx-teeth. — Proc. 1. c. & Bot. Calif, i. 498 ; "Watson, Bot. King, 270, 

 t. 26, fig. 6-11. — Interior desert region, Nevada and Utah, Watson, Parry, Lemmon. 

 G. latifolia, Watson. Viscid-pubescent and above glandular : radical leaves oval or 

 roundish (an inch or two long), distinctly petioled, repand-dentate and the broad short 

 teeth slender-spinescent : panicle loosely many-flowered: corolla pinkish, 2^ lines long, 

 cylindraceous, little longer than the calyx; its lobes acute: capsule oblong, comparatively 

 large (3 lines long), somewhat exceeded by the spinescent-subulate calyx-lobes. — Am. Nat- 

 uralist, ix. 347. — S. Utah, Pairy. 



•w- ++ Corolla campanulate or rotate: pedicels slenderer filiform, scattered. 

 = Western species, diffuse and slender, barely a span high : pedicels becoming horizontal or 

 at length refracted. 

 G. micromeria, Gray, 1. c. Nearly glabrous, glandless, effusely much branched: 

 branches filiform : radical and lower leaves pinnatifid, and the lobes obtuse ; the upper 

 linear and entire : pedicels capillary, half inch long, axillary or opposite the leaves : flower 

 barely a line long : corolla campanulate, white, a little longer than the o-clef t calyx : cap- 

 sule globular: seeds few, not mucilaginous. — Watson, I.e. fig. 12-14. — N. W. Nevada, 

 Watson. Lemmon. 

 G. filif ormis. Parry. Completely glabrous and smooth : stem erect ; the branches fili- 

 form and spreading : leaves all filiform or nearly so and entire : scattered capillary pedi- 

 cels (from 1 to 11 lines long) at length refracted: corolla cream-color, very open-campanu- 

 late, 2 lines long, deeply 5-cleft, exceeding the 6-parted calyx ; its lobes truncate and 

 obscurely erose-denticulate : capsule globular: seeds rather few, mucilaginous but not 

 spirilliferous when wet. — Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. x. 75. — St. George, S. Utah, Parry. 

 Perhaps this species belongs to the § Dactylophyllum ; but all except the lowest leaves are 

 alternate. , 

 G. campanulata, Gray. Minutely pubescent when young, obscurely viscid, diffusely 

 branched from the base, depressed: leaves lanceolate; the lower sparingly pinnatifid- 

 toothed ; the upper small and entire : pedicels not longer than the flower : corolla white, 

 oblong-campanulate, 3 or 4 lines long, twice the length of the 5-parted calyx, moderately
