Ill ilic dcsciiplion of Z . pnlchella (S. W . Sci. IJuU. i:27-28) 

 the, capsular characters were omitted on account of the immaturity 

 of the specimens from which the species was described. Airs. E. 

 C SutlilTe, who collected the type specimens, again visited the 

 same region in l'^^20 and collected quite a quantity of material 

 which it has been my privilege to examine. Some of it is very like 

 the type in every respect, some specimens are more glabrate, and 

 others have a somewhat broader calyx-tube. The variations from 

 the type are, in my estimation, for the most part nor suflicient to 

 make them worthy of even varietal mention, being chiefly such 

 ditTerences in pubescence and -size of leaf as might result from 

 difference in sunlight or moisture. 



In the original description the height of the plant was given 

 as "apparently 1.5 dm. or less." Some of the plants of this later 

 collection are as much as 2.5 dm. high, but most of them are less 

 than 1.5 dm. A few of them have leaves somewhat broader than 

 the type and might be called broadly, instead of narrowly, lanceol- 

 ate. In one plant the calyx-tube is 18 mm. long and 5 mm. broad 

 at the throat, with sepals 8" mm. long and petals 10 mm. long. 

 The styles are exserted from 5 to 8 mm. In the most nearly 

 typical plants the capsule is from 15 to 20 mm. long, about 3 mm. 

 in diameter, subsessile or very short-pedicellate, conspicuously 

 red-costate, and attenuate to a beak which is usually about 4 mm. 

 in length. The immature seeds are turbinate to oblong, 2 mm. 

 long by 1 mm. thick at the top, smooth or longitudinally wrinkled 

 and minutely glandular. 



\ ZAUSCHNERIA PULCHELLA var. ADPRESSA var nov. 



Differs from the species in the very much shortened inter- 

 nodes which are mostly less than 1/3 the leaf length, the closely 

 appressed leaves giving the plant the appearance of a narrow, 

 very tomentose strobile. Leaves shaped as in the species but with 

 a much heavier indument. Calyx-tube narrower than in the 

 species and more heavily clothed with stiff white hairs, especially 

 at the tips of the narrow lobes which are obscure in the bud. Calyx 

 lobes 5-6 mm. long, 2 mm. wide. Petals very narrow, 8 mm. long 

 with a sinus 2 mm. deep. Style exserted 5-6 mm., the stamens 

 apparently included. Ovary completely hidden in the closely 

 appressed foliage. Capsule about 15 mm. long, 2 mm. in diameter, 

 fusiform and somewhat falcate, attenuate, red-costate. — With the 

 species, Salmon Lake, Sierra County, California, Mrs. E. C. Sut- 

 liffe, Sept. 1, 1920. Type in the herbarium of the California Aca- 

 demy of Sciences, San Francisco. Duplicate in the author's her-
