﻿102 PLANTiE PRATTENIANiE CALIFORNIA. 



F. parviflora, Torr. ined. (for Whipple's report.) Scapo 6 — 12 pollicari, floribus 

 3 — 4, cernuis, parvis, pallide-purpureis, haud maculatis ; foliis verticillatis, oppositis 

 alternisve, lineari-lanceolatis, venosis, obtusis vel acuminatis. Corollis pubescentibus, 

 campanulatis ; petalis ovato-lanceolatis, striatis ; staminibus inclusis. 



A smaller plant than the above, with small drooping flowers without dots. Leaves 

 linear-lanceolate, veined, obtuse or acuminate, in verticils of threes, in twos or alter, 

 nate. Corollas pubescent, campanulate ; petals oval-lanceolate, purplish-white, striate ; 

 stamens included, unequal, a little shorter than the pistil ; stigma recurved. 



LILIUM superbum, Willd. Spec. Plant, vol. ii. p. 88. 



BRODIEA grandiflora, Pursh. Fl. Am. vol. i. p. 223. In damp places fully ex- 

 posed to the sun. 



B. grandiflora, var. macrantha, Torr. A larger plant than the preceding, 

 bearing an umbel of 6 — 8 flowers, on erect and unequal peduncles, some of which are 

 not less than 4 — 5" long. Perigonium 1$ — II" in length, and more than 1" diameter 

 at top, not inflated at base, even when the germ has attained a considerable size ; 

 otherwise not differing materially from B. grandiflora, which is a much smaller plant. 



DICHELOSTEMMA congestum, Kunth. Enumeratio plant, vol. iv. Brodiea 

 congesta. 



HESPEROSCORDON lacteum, Lindl. Bot. Reg. T. 1639. Hook. Fl. Am. Bor. 

 Am. T. 148. 



CALLIPRORA lutea, Lindl. Bot. Reg. T. 1590. 



SEUBERTIA laxa, Kunth. Enum. plant, vol. iv. A most beautiful bulbous 

 plant, with a naked scape, above one foot high, bearing at its summit an umbel of 

 from 8 — 50 large blue flowers. These are supported by unequal petioles, articulated 

 with the perigonium. Corolla infundibuliform, with an obconic slender tube ; limb 

 six-parted; divisions oval-lanceolate. Filaments of the anthers short, somewhat 

 dilated, inserted on the throat of the corolla ; ovary long-stipitate, globose, with a 

 short style crowned with a simple, blunt, and somewhat papillose stigma. Leaves 

 linear, canaliculate, shorter than the scape. 



ALLIUM falcifolium, Hook, and Arn. in Bot. Beechey's voy. 



Another ALLIUM, with naked scape and small umbel of white flowers. Specimen 

 too imperfect for examination, and, I think, a new species. 



ECHEANDIA tenuifolia, Orteg. Kunth. Enum. pi. vol. iv.
