114 Muhlenbergia, Volume 2 



No. 7832, collected May 5, on the hills north of Tehachapi, 

 Kern county, elevation 4000 feet. These platits are much less 

 inclined to branch than in no. 7663, many of them simple. It 

 is a pretty species, the large heads pale violet blue. 



No. 7573, collected March 22, near the summit of the ridge 

 opposite South Butte, Marysville Buttes, Sutter county. The 

 calyx is smoother and the lobes a little narrower than in the 

 typical plant, but it has the large heads and broad petaled flow- 

 ers of this species.

No. 8081, collected June 20, at Gazelle, Siskiyou county, 

 along the railroad, where it may have been introduced. The 

 type is from the Petrified Forest, Sonoma county, but it occurs 

 as far north as the high mountains of Lake county, and may 

 continue thence into northern California. Its relationship is 

 rather with G. capitata than with G. staniinea as stated in the 

 original diagnosis. 



Gilia glaiiduJifera 



Annual, tall, 8 dm. or less, branched from near the base, 

 the branches ascending, glabrous: basal leaves many in a rosette 

 like tuft, about 8 cm. long, pinnately parted into numerous ob- 

 long or linear mucronately pointed segments 1-3 mm. wide; the 

 stem leaves similar but scattered, usually only one below each 

 branch; the uppermost short and reduced to few divisions: ped- 

 uncles long and scape-like, naked, some of them 3 dm. long: 

 calyx narrowly campanulate, 3 mm. long, 2 mm. wide across the 

 top, the lobes equalling the tube, lanceolate, acerose pointed, 

 green with hyaline margins, glandular with stalked glands as 

 well as pubescent with chaffy hairs: corollas tinged with pale 

 purple, 8 mm. long, the tube exserted i or 2 mm. beyond the 

 calyx, lobes 4 mm. long, i .mm. wide, slightly narrowed above 

 but not acute: stamens a trifle shorter than the corolla and col- 

 ored like it, the round-elliptic anthers less than t mm. long: the
