long; throat funnelform, yellow, less than 2 mm. long, and a^ 

 wide across the top; lobes rose-color or pink when fresh, quadrate- 

 oblong; over 2 mm. long, the apex a little unevenly rounded; 

 stamens i mm. shorter than the corolla; anthers bright yellow, 

 broadly oblong, i mm. long: pistil a little longer than the sta- 

 mens: capsule oblong, 5 mm. long, 3 mm. wide: seeds (appar- 

 ently immature) quadrate oblong and oblique, i mm. long, pale 

 and greenish with narrow^ hyaline wings. 



The type was collected by the winter May 6, 1902, in fields 

 near Clear Creek Post Office, Butte county, California. It is 

 with pleasure that I dedicate this species to Miss Alice East- 

 wood, Curator of the herbarium of the California Academy of 

 Sciences, to whom I am indebted for many courtesies. It is 

 related to L. bicolor, but is easily distinguished by its larger 

 size, diffuse habit, and more slender corolla tube. 



To this is referable a specimen in the herbarium of the Cal- 

 ifornia Academy of Sciences, collected by Buckminster at Ma- 

 dera, May, 1SS9, from which Miss Milliken described her "Ze- 

 nanthus serriilatus Greene;" but true serrulatus^ also collected 

 by Buckminster at the same time and place, is a very' different 

 plant, as evinced by the original description, and by a specimen 

 in the Academy herbarium which Miss Milliken evidently did 

 not see. Here also belongs a specimen collected by Blaisdell at 

 Mokelumne Hill, April 15, 1900, giving the species a range 

 along the foothills of the Sierra from the central part of the 

 State north into Butte county at least. Those who do not rec- 

 ognize Linanthus as distinct from Gilia, may call this species 

 Grilla Eastwoodae Heller.
