 8 or 10 in each cell. — Proc. Am. Acad. 1. c. G.pungens & G. Hookeri, Benth. in DC. 1. c. 

 — Plains of the Upper Platte and Columbia to Arizona and E. California. Widely varia- 

 ble. The original Cantua pungens, Torr. Ann. Lye. N. Y. ii. 26 {^-Egochloa Torreyi, Don), of 

 the Platte, is a low glabrate form. 



Var. CSespitosa, Gray, l-c. (Leptodactylon caspitosum, Nutt. PI. Gamb.), is a low and 

 dense form, imitating Phlox Doiitjlasii in growth. — Scott's Bluffs, "Wyoming, Xattnll. 

 =* Var. Hookeri, Gray, 1. c. {PMox Hookeri, Dougl. in Hook. Fl. ii. 73, t. 1J9, & G.

 shoots. — Interior of Oregon, California, &c. Flowers not fomid to be " yellow." 



Var. squarrosa, Gray, 1. c. A foot or two high, with virgate branches, beset with 

 stouter and more rigid recurved-spreading pungent leaves. — Dry interior region, Nevada 

 to Idaho and Washington Terr. 



Series II. Leaves alternate and pinnately incised, cleft, or divided, or rarely 

 entire, occasionally some of the lowermost opposite : filaments slender : seed-coat 

 (as in Collomia) when wetted mucilaginous and sending out threads containing 

 each a spiral coil (spiricle), except in a few species. 



§ 6. Navarretia, Gray, 1. c. Flowers capitate-crowded and densely foliaceous- 

 bracted (in the last species less so) : lobes of the calyx and of the mostly (some- 

 times nearly palmately) multifid bracts rigid and acerose-pungent or spinulose, 

 often laciniate or unequal : corolla slender, tiibular-fnnnelform or almost salver- 

 form, and with rather small oval or oblong lobes : filaments inserted in or below 

 the throat : anthers short : stigmas and cells of the ovary sometimes reduced to 2 : 

 low and much-branching annuals, sometimes glandular-viscid, never white-woolly ; 

 with chiefly 1— 2-pinnately divided or cleft leaves, their lobes commonly subulate 

 and pungent. — Navarretia, Ruiz & Pav., Benth. 



* Leaves and bracts, or some of them, more than once pinnately parted, i. e. their primary divisions 

 incised or parted. 



4— Ovules and seeds numerous (8 to ]-2) in each cell :_ stamens included in the throat of the corolla, 

 commonly unequal in length and slightly so in insertion : herbage very glandular-viscid and 

 unpleasantly aromatic -scented. 



i-G. squarrosa. Hook. & Arn. Eather stout and rigid, often a foot high : upper leaves 

 and bracts spinescent : tube of the small blue (or sometimes whitish) corolla rather shorter 

 than the mostly entire calyx-lobes. — Bot. Beech. 1-51 ; Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 1. t. iG'.t.

 Plains of California and (Jregon ; a common fetid weed. 



^— ^— Ovules varying from 1 to 2 or .3 to 4 in each cell : stamens exserted out of the throat of 

 the corolla, at length mostly equalhng the lobes : herbage less viscid or glandular, in some not 

 at all so. 



G. cotulaef olia, Steud. Eigid, a span to a foot high, pubescent or below glabrate, above 

 mostly minutely glandular : leaves chiefly 2-pinnately parted ; the subulate divisions of the 

 upper and of the bracts spinescent : tube of the violet-blue or white corolla hardly longer 

 than the lobes of the sparsely villous calyx ; the throat funnelform : ovules solitary 

 or rarely a pair in each of the (frequently only 2) cells of the ovary. — jEgocUoa pubescens 

 & cotcdcefolia, Benth. in Bot. Eeg. Xavarretia pubescens & cohdcefolia, Hook. & Am. 1. c. ;

 mis Cottda. 



G. intertsxta, Steud. Erect or widely branched, low and rather stout, neither viscid 

 nor glandular : stem retrorsely pubescent : leaves mainly glabrous, with divaricate acerose- 

 spinescent divisions sparingly divided or simple : flowers densely glomerate : tube of the 

 calyx and base of the bracts strongly villous with white spreading hairs ; its lobes equalling 

 the white corolla : ovules and seeds 3 or Jl in each cell. — Xavarretia intertexta. Hook. 1. c. — 

 Plains of Columbia Elver to California and the Eocky Mountains. Corolla 3 or 4 lines 

 long, the stamens equalling its lobes.
