i' long, salverform, the tube rarely twice longer than the calyx and little 

 exceeding the obovate lobes, which are shorter than the slender moderately 

 exserted filaments; anthers ovate; cells about 6-0 vuled ; seed-coat without

GiLiA TENEEEiMA, Gray ; /. c, p. 277. Annual, slender, 10' high, very 

 difFusely branched from the base with numerous scattered divaricate almost 

 filiform branchlets, minutely glandular-pubescent ; leaves alternate, linear or 

 the radical ones lanceolate, the upper ones becoming very small, entire ; 

 flowers small, solitary, terminal on the branchlets ; calyx less than the broad- 

 oval or globose capsule; cells 1-seeded ; seed ovoid.— Corolla unknown. 

 Bear River Valley, near Evanston ; 6,000 feet altitude ; July. (922.) 



GiLiA iNCONSPicuA, Dougl. Gray, I. c, p. 278. Annual, mostly low, 

 (4-12' high,) more or less pubescent or glabrate, branched and loosely pani- 

 cled ; leaves alternate, the lower 1-2-pinnatifid or pinnate-toothed ; flowers 

 scattered on slender pedicels, inconspicuously bracted or bractless ; corolla 

 purple or blue, rarely white, 3-5" long, funnelform with the throat 

 more or less dilated, 2-3 times the length of the calyx, the tube little or 

 not at all exserted, the lobes ovate or obovate and mostly exceeding the 

 stamens ; filaments slender^ inserted in or just below the sinuses ; cells many- 

 ovuled. — Very variable. From the Platte to the Columbia, and southward 

 to Arizona and Southern California. Very frequent in the vaUeys and on the 

 foot-hills from the Sierras to the Wahsatch ; 4-6,500 feet altitude ; May-

Var. siNUATA, Gray. Corolla larger, the tube more or less exserted, the 

 lobes often 2" long and the stamens sometimes equaling them ; radical leaves 

 often simply pinnatifid. — Near Carson City and in Truckee Pass, Nevada ; 

 April, May. (924.) Also, in the latter locality, a form with the stamens ex- 

 ceeding the lobes. (925.) 



Specimens were also collected in Washoe Valley and in the Trinity 

 Mountains, Nevada, with the calyx and upper leaves glandular-viscid, thus 

 approaching Var. aeenaria of the California coast, but with the white corolla 

 shorter. (926.) 



GiLiA LEPTOMEEiA, Gray ; I. c, p. 278. Annual, low, (3-6',) diffusely 

 much branched, obscurely glandular, otherwise glabrous; radical leaves
