PLANTS COLLECTED BY DR. GAMBEL. 155 
§. *Anuopnyttum. Annual. Leaves dissimilar and broad, obscurely three to 
five-parted, with distinct partial petioles. Stem diffusely branched, the flowers 
small, partly funnel-form, disposed in cymose racemes. Capsule oval, the cells 
two-seeded; the seeds roundish, not angular. Closely allied to Collomia, but with 
the cells of the capsule two-seeded. 
G. *prvaricaTa. Annual, diffusely branched and subdecumbent, viscidly puberulous ; leaves alternate, 
digitately united at the base ; leaflets three to five, lanceolate acute, attenuated into a petiole, two or 
four much smaller than the others; branches forked, ending in eymose racemes; ealyx obconic, 
divided nearly to the base, enlarging with the ripening of the fruit; the segments lanceolate acute, 
viscid ; corolla small and slender, the tube more than twice the length of the small calyx ; segments of 
the border oblong; stamens somewhat exserted, anthers roundish, stigma small. Capsule oval, not 
extending beyond the short enlarging calyx ; seeds roundish, teeth two in a cell, rather large. 
Has. Monterey, Upper California. 
§. *CurysantHa. Annual, pubescent. Leaves sessile, opposite, palmately 
divided, with entire linear segments. Flowers fastigiate, somewhat corymbose on 
filiform peduncles, (yellow) segments of the calyx acute. Corolla funnel-form, with 
a short tube, the segments oval and entire. Anthers ovate. Stamens exserted 
beyond the throat of the corolla. Ovules in the capsule about twenty. 
G.*auREA. Corolla smooth, about twice the length of the calyx ; segments of the leaves short and hispid, 
three to six. 
A handsome and showy annual, growing about a span high, with short, hispid, 
opposite sessile leaves, divided into five or six segments below, above about 5-cleft. 
Stem mostly simple and branching above, the flower branches purplish and a little 
viscid, terminating in compound trichotomous clusters ; peduncles slender, often near 
an inch long. Flower apparently bright yellow, as large as that of many Phloves, 
funnel-formed, with a tube not exserted beyond the calyx, its base purple. The calyx 
segments united two-thirds of the way, the teeth lanceolate and acute; stigmas 
exserted, long and filiform; seeds about twenty in each capsule, when moistened 
covered with a jelly as in Collomia. 
Has. Santa Barbara. Flowering in April. 
§. *Erapnocera. Perennials or biennials, with the leaves often sparingly 
pinnatifid towards the extremity, or entire and linear, fleshy. Flowers in condensed 
clusters, capitate or in spikes, generally white. Corolla tubular, with a deeply 
5-cleft, spreading border. Stamens shortly exserted, or even with the summit of the 
tube. Stigmas very short. Ovaries two to four in a cell, rarely one. 
G. concesta. (Hooker.) Common in the Rocky Mountain region.
