guadrivulnera (Dougl.) Spach, Hist. Veg. Phan. 4:389. 1855; 
G. bingenensis Suksd. Deutsch. Bot. Monatss. 18:88. 1900.— 
Vancouver Island to California. 
9. Clarkia viminea (Dougl.), n. comb.—QOenothera viminea 
Dougl. Bot. Mag. pl. 2873. 1828; Godetia viminea (Dougl.) Spach, 
Hist. Veg. Phan. 4:389. 1835. 
Western Oregon to California—Orrcon: Grant’s Pass, Josephine County, 
June 23, 1884, Howell; Multnomah County, June, 1877, Howell 138 and 
139; Coast Ranges, July 1882, Howell and Henderson. 
10. Clarkia purpurea (Curtis), n. comb.—Oenothera purpurea 
(Curtis) Bot. Mag. pl. 352. 1795; Godetia purpurea (Curtis) 
Don in Smith Hort. Britt., ed. 3, 237. 1839——Howett (FI. 
N. W. Am. 234. 1900) includes this species, but the specimens we 
have seen have come ftom California, and Jepson’ in his revision 
cites no collections from Oregon. G. albescens Lindley, however, 
was described from plants grown from seeds secured in Oregon by 
Dyer, and since it is probably a form of C. purpurea, as suggested 
by Jepson (loc. cit. 351), it seems advisable to credit the latter 
species to our flora. The congested inflorescence and generally 
very shaggy pods are salient characters that ordinarily mark the 
species at once. 
11. Clarkia Arnottii (T. and G.), n. comb.—Oenothera Arnottii 
T. and G. Fl. N. Am. 1:503. 1840; Godetia Arnottii (T: and G.) 
Walpers, Rep. 2:88. 1843.—This species may usually be recognized 
easily by the glabrous capsules, but sometimes these are puberulent 
as in the specimen by SHELDON. Mrs. BRANDEGEE has collected 
both forms growing together in California. Piper and BEATTIE 
(Fl. N. W. Coast 252. 1915) have not indicated this variation. 
Oregon to California—Orrcon: Umpqua Valley, June 24, 1887, Howell 
703; Lower Albina, Portland, July 21, 1902, Sheldon, S. 10975. 
12. Clarkia decumbens (Dougl.), n. comb.—Godetia decumbens 
Dougl. Bot. Mag. pl. 2889. 1829; G. lepida Lindl., Bot. Reg. fl. 
1849. 1836, not Howell, Fl. N. W. Am. 234. 1900, which is prob- 
ably C. purpurea or C. Arnottii.—JEPsoN has shown (loc. cit. 350) 
that the seeds of this plant were first gathered in Oregon. The 
present status of the species is comparable to that of C. Romanzovit,
