148 POLEMONIACE.E. GUia. 



Incised, the lobes short ; the upper becoming simple, small and entire : branches loosely 

 few-flowered : pedicels shorter than the flower : corolla (7 to 9 lines long) rose-color with 

 violet throat, narrowly funnelforra or even trumpet-shaped; its slender tube fully thrice 

 the length of the calyx : capsule ovoid-oblong. — Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1. 1888 ; Gray, 1. c, excl. 

 var. — California, from Monterey southward. 



~G. inconspicua, Dougl. Mostly low, a span to a foot or more high, usually with slight 

 woolly pubescence wlien young, and viscid glandular, branching from the base : leaves 

 mostly pinnatifid or pinnately parted, or the lowest bipinnatifid, with short mucronate-cus- 

 pidate lobes ; the uppermost becoining small, subulate, and entire : flowers either somewliat 

 crowded and subsessile or at length loosely panicled and some of them slender-pedicclled : 

 corolla violet or purplish (3 to 5 lines long), narrowly funnelform, with proper tube shorter 

 or slightly longer than the calyx. — Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 2883 (corolla too salverform) ; 

 Benth. in DC. 1. c. ; Gray, 1. c. G. parviflora, Spreng. Syst. i. 626. Cantua parvifiora, Pursli, 

 n. ii. 730. Ipomopsis inconspicua, Smith, Exot. 1. 14. — Wyoming to the western border of 

 Texas, and west to California and British Columbia. Very variable in size and form of 

 corolla, passing into 



■^_,^ Var. sinuata, Gray, 1. c. Corolla larger, at least in proportion to the calyx, becom- 

 ing thrice its length, with tube more exserted and throat and lobes more ample. — G. sinuata, 

 Dougl.; Benth. in DC. I.e. G. arenaria, Benth. I.e. — Oregon and California to New 

 Mexico. Some forms approaching the two preceding. 



= = Seeds destitute of mucilage and spiricles when wetted, numerous: leaves nearly all radical, 

 barely pinnatifid or toothed; the cauline mainly reduced to small subulate bracts' of the open 

 compound panicle, which is about a span high : some flowers with very short, others with slender 

 pedicels, in the manner of G. inconspicua and related species. 



G. leptomeria. Gray. Minutely somewhat glandular-viscid : radical leaves oblong or 

 broadly lanceolate (an inch or more long), incisely toothed or sinuate-pinnatifld ; the ob- 

 tuse teeth or lobes minutely mucronate-cuspidate : cymose panicle effuse : flowers incon- 

 spicuous : corolla whitish, 2 or 3 lines long, fully twice the lengtli of the calyx, slender- 

 funnelform, and with very small acute lobes : capsule ovoid, equalling or surpassing the 

 triangular acute calyx-teeth. — Proc. 1. c. & Bot. Calif, i. 498; Watson, Bot. King, 270, 

 t. 26, fig. 6-11. — Interior desert region, Nevada and Utah, Watson, Parry, Lemmon. 



G. latifolia, W^atson. Viscid-pubescent and above glandular: radical leaves oval or 

 roundish (an inch or two long), distinctly petioled, repand-dentate and the broad short 

 teeth slender-spinescent : panicle loosely many-flowered : corolla pinkish, 2J lines long, 

 cylindraceous, little longer than the calyx ; its lobes acute ; capsule oblong, comparatively 

 large (3 lines long), somewhat exceeded by the spinescent-subulate calyx-lobes. — Am. Nat- 

 uralist, ix. 347. — S. Utah, Pai-ry. 



++ ++ Corolla campanulate or rotate : pedicels slender or filiform, scattered. 



= Western species, diffuse and slender, barely a span high : pedicels becoming horizontal or 

 at length refracted. 



G. microraeria, Gray, 1. c. Nearly glabrous, glandless, effusely much branched: 

 branches filiform: radical and lower leaves pinnatifid, and the lobes obtuse; the upper 

 linear and entire : pedicels capillary, half incli long, axillary or opposite the leaves : flower 

 barely a line long : corolla campaimlate, white, a little longer than the o-clef t calyx : cap- 

 sule globular: seeds few, not mucilaginous. — Watson, I.e. fig. 12-14. — N. W. Nevada, 

 Wati^nn, Lummon, 



G. fllif ormis, Parry. Completely glabrous and smooth : stem erect ; the branches fili- 

 form and spreading : leaves all filiform or nearly so and entire : scattered capillary pedi- 

 cels (from 1 to 11 lines long) at length refracted: corolla cream-color, very open-campanu- 

 late, 2 lines long, deeply 5-cleft, exceeding the 5-parted calyx; its lobes truncate and 

 obscurely erose-denticulate : capsule globular: seeds rather few, mucilaginous but not 

 spirilliferous when wet. — Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. x. 75. — St. George, S. Utah, Parry. 

 Perhaps this species belongs to the § Dactylophyllum ; but all except the lowest leaves are 

 alternate. 



G. campanulata, Gray. Minutely pubescent when young, obscurely viscid, diffusely 

 branched from the base, depressed : leaves lanceolate ; the lower sparingly pinnatifid- 

 toothed ; the upper small and entire : pedicels not longer than the flower : corolla white, 

 oblong-campanulate, 3 or 4 lines long, twice the length of the 5-parted calyx, moderately
