 tubular-funnelform or almost salverform, and with small oblong lobes: fila- 

 ments inserted in or below the throat: anthers short : cells of the ovary and 

 stigmas sometimes only 2 : annuals, mostly viscid-pubt set nt or glandular, m vt r 

 white-woolly, with once or twice pinnatijid or incised leaves, t/ieir lobes com- 

 monly pungent : the bracts sometimes palmately rather than pinnaiely cleft. —

* Stamens included in the throat of the corolla : ovides 8 to 12 in each cell. 



IS. G. squarrosa, Hook. & Am. Rigid, rather stout, becoming much branched, 

 very glandular-viscid, fetid: leaves twice pinnatifid, or pinnately parted and the 

 divisions either parted or incised : upper leaves and bracts spinescent : corolla blue,

 tonientose-puberalent, or above villous-pubeseent and minutely glandular: most of 

 the leaves twice pinnately divided or parted into slender-subulate divisions ; the 

 upper and the bracts spinescent : tube of the violet or whitish corolla hardly longer 

 than the sparsely villous calyx: ovules 1 or - in each cell: capsule usually only

20. Gr. intertexta, SteudeL At length diffusely much branched, a span high. 

 neither viscid nor glandular: stems retrorsely pubescent: leaves mainly glabrous ; 

 their divaricate acerose and spinescent divisions either sparingly divided or simple : 



Mowers densely glomerate : base of the bracts and tul t the calyx densely white- 



villous with long spreading hairs: corolla white, little exceeding the calyx: ovules 

 and seeds 3 or I in each cell. — Navarretia intertexta, Hook. Fl. ii. 75.
