leaves linear and entire, tiipering into a subulate or pungent tip, those 

 about the head spreading and star-like, mostly all bearing stipitate 

 glands; bracts of the involucre subulate, those of the receptacle 

 pointless, soft, hairy; ray-achenes flattened laterally, nearly semi- 

 circular in outline, smooth; pappus of disk-achenes of 9 to 11 linear 

 palea3 as long as the corolla and hairy or fimbriate at the tip. — (Hemi- 

 zonia Fitchii Gray.) 



High sandy land in the valleys and foothills: Sierra Foothills and 

 the Lower San Joaquin northward through the Sacramento Valley

oO. CALYCADENIA DC. Rosix Weed. 



Erect annuals, hirsute or hispid or almost glabrous. Stems simple, 

 or with virgate branches, or repeatedly branched. Leaves all entire, 

 narrowly linear, becoming filiform by revolution of the margins, at 

 least those near the heads and those of the fascicles in the axils 

 bearing at apex tack-shaped or saucer-shaped glands. Heads oblonu 

 or narrow. Flowers white or yellow. Eay-flowers few (1 to 5 or 8), 

 the ligules broad and palmately 3-lobed or -parted; ray-achenes 

 obovoid-triangular. the areola at summit quite or nearly in the center; 

 pappus none. Disk-flowers surrounded by a circle of bracts connate 

 into a cup, or at length separating; disk-achenes with conspicuous 

 paleaceous pappus. (Greek kalux, covering, and adenos, a gland, 

 on account of the glands on the involucre.)

1. C. truncata DC. Kosix "Weed. Stems 1 to 3 ft. high, 

 reddish brown, simple below, branching above into a panicle of long 

 straight slender branches along which the heads are scattered; herbage 

 glabrous or the linear and entire leaves somewhat hirsute-ciliate; 

 smaller leaves with subsessile glands at ape.t; heads oval, 4 or 5 lines 

 long; rays 5 to 8. broad, 4 to 5 lines long; ray-achenes glabrous, tri-
