Gilia. POLEMOXIACE-E. 497 



3G. Gr. subnuda, Tori-. A span to a foot high, glandular-puberulent : leaves 

 chiefly at the base, spatulate or oblong, incisely toothed or slightly few-lohed; those 

 of the naked stem small and entire, and above reduced to minute bracts : flowers 

 somewhat clustered at the summit of the branches of the naked panicle : calyx-lobes 

 broadly subulate : corolla orange or scarlet ; the tube half an inch long, thrice the 

 length of the ovate obtuse lobes. — Gray, Proe. Am. Acad. viii. 276. 



Western part of Nevada {It. H. Stretch), and Arizona [Newberry, PaZvu r) : may be expected on 

 the eastern borders of California. In the specimens, the anthers are included, on short filaments. 



§ 10. Flowers capitate-glomerate or panicled, or scattered, usually bractless : corolla 

 (1,1 in-, purple, or white) from funnelform to campanulate or almost rotate: 

 stamens included or not surpassing the corolla-lobes : filaments slender: leaves 

 mostly pinnately incised or twice or thrice pinnately dissected. — EuGILIA, 

 Benth. mainly. 



* Dwarf perennial, few-flowered among the leaves : ovules solitary. 



37. Gr. Larseni, Gray. Depressed, rising an inch or two out of ground from 

 filiform subterranean running shoots, soft-pubescent : leaves much crowded at the 

 summit (but alternate), somewhat pedatcly 5 — 7-parted or the upper 3-cleft ; the 

 lobes - to 4 lines long, linear-oblong, or the larger more dilated and 2 — 3-clefl : 

 flowers almost sessile, little exceeding the leaves: corolla funnelform, violet-purple, 

 nearly half an inch long, fully twice the length of the calyx ; the lobes broadly 

 oval. — Proc. Am. Acad. xi. 84. 



On Lassen's Peak, in loose soil of volcanic ashes, Lcmmon and John hoarsen. This singular 

 little species might be thought to belong to the Navarretia section ; but the lobes of the leaves 

 and of the calyx an- not rigid, nor even so much as mucronate, and the flowers are not capitate- 

 crowded. In some llowers two or three of the stamens are abortive and very short, but all are 

 inserted at the same height, low down in the throat of the corolla. It is "only in the solitary 

 ovules that this species accords with the section Microgilia. 



* * Annuals: ovules and seeds few or numerous in each cell. 



+- Flowers numerous in dense headlike clusters on long naked peduncles: stems erect, 

 a f">t ,,,■ two high: stamens inserted in the Very sinuses of the short and brood 

 corolla, os long os tloirlobes: leaves twice or thrice pinnately dissected into very 

 nori-oie I'm, or divisions. 



38. Gr. capitata, DougL Glabrous or a little pubescent: stem slender, loosely 

 branched above : calyx glabrous or nearly so : lubes of the light blue (rarely white) 

 corolla narrowly oblong or almosl linear (2 lines long), nearlj of the length, of the 

 narrow tube. — Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 2698 ; Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1170. 



Low grounds, not rare, from the Kay of San Francisco to Oregon. 



39. G-. achilleaefolia, Benth. Like the preceding! bnt usually stouter, often 



somewhat glandular : tl apitate clusters and flowers larger or less compacl : calyx 



more or less woolly, its lobes with short recurved tips : lobes of the corolla obovate 

 or broadly oblong (2 or 3 lines long), the throat abruptly much dilated. — Hook. 

 Bot. M ig. t. 5939. 



Hills rod 11 dj ground, common through the western part ofthe State. 



+. +. Flowers in small and rather loos, clusters, or else scattered in th 



++ Leaves mainly twice or thrice pinnately divided into fiiu and narrow segments : 

 corolla funnelform, from one to two thirds of an inch long: herbage somewhat viscid- 

 pubescent or glandular, or glabrati : sten r at length diffusely spreading. 



40. G. multicaulis, Benth. A span t 1 b foot or so in height, simple in depau 

 and early plants, loosely branched in larger and later: (lowers few or several 



(rnvl\ solitary) in o cluster terminating the si. aider naked peduncles, shorl pedi 

 celled or almosl Bessile; corolln (a third of an inch long) violet, with proper tube
