higher on the corolla than the other : anthers rouiul-reniform, their two cells con- 

 fluent at the apex into one. A gland at the base of the corolla on the upper side 

 answers to the fifth stamen. .Style filiform : stigma small, entire or minutely 

 2-eleft. Capsule ovate or globose, at first septicidal, but the valves soon 2-cleft. 

 Seeds few or several in each cell, amphitropous and peltate ; the face concave. — 

 Winter annuals (all Uorth American and mainly western) ; with simple opposite 

 sessile leaves, or the lowest petioled and the upper whorled, and usually handsome 

 flowers in their upper axils : pedicels solitary or cymosely umbellate-clustered, or in 

 win uLs ; the upper tiers commonly naked by the diminution of the later leaves into 

 .small bracts. Corolla blue, purple, or white, sometimes yellowish, commonly two- 

 colored. The plants mostly spring from seed in autumn and flower early the next 

 season. Iu garden cultivation the Californian species flower directly as annuals. — 

 The stamens and style not rarely rise out of the sac of the corolla into a more erect 

 position before all the pollen is shed. — Cray, Proe. Am. Acad. xi. 91. 



The short base of the corolla below the bulging we will call the tube, and the whole inflated 

 and bulging portion up to the cleft, the throat. The Uttle organ which stands iu place of the 

 fifth stamen, we call simply the gland. 



* Flowers ahort-pedicelled or nearly sessile, mostly 6 or more in each close and whorl- 

 like or head-like cluster, only tlie lowest clusters subtended by leaves, tlie others by 

 small bracts. 



+- Corolla strongly declined ; the much inflated and saccate gibbous throat fully as 

 bntitil as long and funning an obtuse or right angle with the eery short proper tube: 

 gland short and small, sessile: tijtjter pair of filaments more or (ess bearded towards 

 the base. 



1. C. tricolor, Benth. A foot or so high, from nearly glabrous to hirsute and 

 above somewhat viscid-hairy : leaves more or less toothed and oblong or lanceolate ; 

 the upper usually ovate-lanceolate and sessile by a broad often subcordate and 

 uervosc-veineil base: pedicels .sin ntcr than the acute lobes of the calyx: corolla 

 party-colored (the lower lip violet or rose-purple and the upper paler or nearly white), 

 occasionally all white ; the saccate throat very oblique to the tube; the recurved- 

 spreading upper lip a little shorter than the lower. — Bot. Reg. t. 1734 ; Brit Fl 

 Card. ser. 2, t. 307 ; Bot. Mag. t. 3488. C. heterophylla, < Iraham in Bot. Mag. t. 

 3695, a form with 3-cleft lower leaves, which is rare. 



Moist hillsides, &c. : Abounding through all the western part of the State. A pure white- 

 flowered form (var. r«,i,i;,i,,i is in cultivation, and also (we believe) wild. The most show; species, 

 with corolla three fourths of an inch long. 



'1. C. tinctoria, Bartweg. Foliage, &c, like the preceding, above generally 

 more viscid-pubescent : Bowers almost sessile : lobes of the calyx linear or oblong- 

 linear, mostly obtuse: corolla yellowish, cream-color, or white, usually with some 

 purple dots or lines; the axis of the strongly saccate-ventricose throat at right 

 angles with that of the tube; the upper lip and its lobes very short. — Benth. PI.

Moist grounds and banks of streams, along the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada and 



through its foot-hills. The yellowish or brownish and viscid-glandular pubescence t-*\ 



timi ihorl and sometimes villous) stains the fingers, whence probabfj tlie specific name. 



The upper l'. I lie lateral lobes of tho lower lip of the corolla is sparser) bearded, and the 



margins of the leave are - ibrous. 



-i- -i- Corolla less declined or curved ; t/ie gibbous but not saccate throat much l 

 than broad: low species, a span •■/• so high: leaves crenati or obtusely toothed, ob- 

 tuse, often thieLish in texture] seldom over an inch lung.
