5. CLARKIA RHOMBOIDEA Dougl. in Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 1:214. 
1833.—Phaeostoma rhomboidea (Dougl.) A. Nels. Bot. Gaz. 52: 267. 
1911.—Eastern Washington and Oregon, and adjacent Idaho to 
Utah, Nevada, and California. 
6. Clarkia Romanzovii (Ledeb.), n. comb.—Oenothera Roman- 
zovu Ledeb. ex Hornem. Hort. Hofn. Suppl. 1:133. 1819; Godetia 
Romanzovii (Ledeb.) Spach, Hist. Veg. Phan. 4:390. 1835.—This 
species has not been collected since originally by CHAmisso on ‘‘ the 
Northwest Coast,” unless a specimen by ELMER from Port Angeles 
should be referred to it, as suggested by Prrer and BEATTIE (FI. 
N. W. Coast 251. 1915). We have not seen this collection; there 
are, however, two authentic specimens of this species in the Gray 
Herbarium. One is from the “Hort. Soc. Lond.” and the other is 
from the “Jardin des Plantes, 1837” and belonged to the Gray 
Herbarium. Both specimens are well preserved and agree with 
JEPson’s description (Univ. Cal. Publ. Bot. 2:349. 1907). PIPER 
and BEattie’s diagnosis is misleading, however, as the plants are 
not “densely white puberulent throughout” but only so on the 
young parts, as emphasized by JEPSON, where it is indeed “close 
and feltlike.’’ Since the species has retained its salient character- 
istics for generations in cultivation (see JEPSON, loc. cit. 321), its 
rediscovery in a native state is highly probable. Accordingly it 
seems proper to give it recognition. 
7. Clarkia gracilis (Piper), n. comb.—Godetia gracilis Piper, 
Piper and Beattie’s Fl. N. W. Coast, 251. 1915.—Among our species 
this is nearest the next, from which it may be distinguished by the 
united calyx lobes, the tendency of the buds to nod, and the merely 
puberulent pods. This last character, however, is not dependable 
anywhere in the genus, as most species show great variation in this 
respect.
