232 BOTAIO'. 



sessile, with usually a single linear obtuse bract ; calyx 2-leaved, the lower 

 leaf exterior in estivation, 3-5-nerved, the upper 2-nerved and 2-toothed at 

 the apex, corolla 6-8" long, purplish ; stamens 2, the filaments flattened and 

 nearly glabrous and the anthers 1-celled; capsule oblong, 8-seeded. — Accord- 

 ing precisely with the fragment of Nuttall's own (Californian f) specimen in 

 Herb. Gray., in which also the anther is 1-celled, instead of 2-celled as de- 

 scribed ; the lower sepal is 3-nerved at base, 5-nerved toward the apex. 

 Foot-hills of the Clover Mountains, Nevada ; 6,500 feet altitude ; Septem- 

 ber. (816.) 



CoEDYLANTHUs EAMOSus, Nutt. DC. Prodr. 10. 697. Erect, 6-10' 

 high, branched, canescent with a minute scabrous pubescence ; leaves pin- 

 nately 3-5-parted with filiform segments, the floral ones with 5-7 equal fili- 

 form lobes scarcely dilated at the apex ; flowers capitate ; bracts entire or 

 2-3-lobed ; calyx-leaves but little shorter than the yeUow (6-8" long) coroUa, 

 ovate or oblong, obtuse, 5-6-nerved, the upper one emarginate ; stamens 4, 

 filaments more or less villous, the anthers 2-celled ; capsule 4-5" long, linear- 

 oblong, 20-seeded. — Very near C. Jilifolius, but probably distinct. The 

 apparently filiform segments of the leaves are in reality narrowly linear with 

 closely revolute margins. Monitor and Euby Valleys and East Humboldt 

 Mountains, Nevada, and in the Wahsatch ; 6-9,000 feet altitude ; July, 

 August. (817.) 



CoEDYLANTHUs TENUIS, Gray ; I. c, 383. Loosely panicled, 2° high, 

 very minutely puberulent, almost glabrous ; branchlets filiform, leaves nar- 

 rowly linear or filiform, entire, the floral ones with a callous apex, rarely 

 bidenticulate or emarginate ; flowers becoming scattered ; calyx-leaves ob- 

 long-lanceolate, 5-6-nerved, the upper one entire or emarginate ; corolla 

 6-8" long, purplish and yellowish ; stamens 4, with more or less villous fila- 

 ments and 2-celled anthers ; seeds semi-ovate, with recurved beak, smooth. — 

 In the California Sierras, and near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, (Anderson.) 



COEDYLANTHUS LAxiFLOEUS, Gray. Bot. Mex. Bound. 120. Rev. Cord., 

 I. c, 383. 1-2° high, paniculately branched, very hirsute, sub glandular ; 

 leaves all linear, short, entire or rarely trifid ; flowers solitary or approxi- 

 mate upon the short leafy branches, with a single bract ; sepals G-nerve^l, 

 the upper one bidentate ; corolla yellow, rather deeply bilabiate, the lower 

 Hp a half shorter than the galea ; stamens 4, the lower anther-cell either
