filaments nearh^ naked at the base instead of dilated and pilose" 

 appendaged. Our 2953, collected near Lewiston, Idaho, April 

 24, 1896, shows good examples of this plant. It grew in rich 

 soil along the Clearwater river, but not in places especially 

 "moist" or "springy."

Nama racemosa Kellogg, Proc. Cal. Acad. 5: 51. 1873. 

 Phacelia naviatoides A. Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 10: 317. 



1875. 

 No. 6981, collected near Summit Station, in Placer county, 

 California, July 20, 1903, altitude 7000 feet. The type was col- 

 lected by Kellogg and Brannan at Cisco, July 6, 1870. In 

 transferring this plant to the genus Phacelia^ Gray changed the 

 specific name, apparently without reason. 



lleliotropiuin oculatiiin 



Herbaceous perennial, glabrous and glaucous throughout: 

 stems ascending, diffusely spreading, about 3dm. high, leafy 

 throughout: leaves on rather short broad petioles, the larger 

 •ones on the middle part of the stem oblanceolate or spatulate, 

 about 4cm. long, 1.5cm. wide, rounded and obtuse, often with 

 fascicles of several small ones in the axes; smaller lower and 

 upper leaves commonly oblong, acute or acutish: spikes com- 

 monly in pairs, one of them sometimes two-forked, eventually 

 long and slender (5cm.) densely flowered: corollas about 4mm. 

 across, the short-oblong lobes blunt and rounded, throat with a 

 purple eye. 



No. 5813, collected July 8, 1902, in sand along the Russian 

 river at Healdsburg, Sonoma county, California. It was also 

 noticed on moist banks along the Eel river near Hullville, Lake 

 county. Strange as it may seem, this plant has long passed as 

 H. Curassavicum^ a tropical and semi-tropical plant whose hab- 

 itat is sea beaches. It is a plant with long slender branches, 

 narrow leaves, small white flowers, and bears little resemblance 

 to our inland species.
