violet lobes, the undivided part yellow, with white border; divisions of the 

 upper lip spreading and divergent, of broad-lanceolate outline. — With 

 the preceding, and a more profusely flowering species. May. 



3. B. tricolor, Greene. Branches few, weak, tortuous and reclining: 

 lower lip of corolla parted into 3 equal broadly obovate truncate and 

 slightly cuspidate lobes, these deep blue at tip, white below, the undi- 

 vided part with a transverse somewhat quadrate spot of dark maroon; 

 upper lip of 2 small segments somewhat recurved, but parallel. — Plains 

 near Suisun. May. 



L B. concolor, Greene. Eather firm branches 3 — 5 in. high, very 

 numerous and forming a dense tuft; the herbage very minutely puberu- 

 lent: corolla violet almost throughout, but base of lower lip very dark and 

 this spot circumscribed by lighter blue, the lobes slightly unequal, very 

 obtuse and somewhat cuspidate; upper lip cleft to the middle only, the 

 lobes lanceolate, more or less deflexed. — Low grain fields near Suisun. 



5. B. oriintissinin, Greene. Slender, 6 — 10 in. high, mostly simple, 

 erect and rather strict: corolla pale throughout; lobes of lower lip some- 

 what obcordate and cuspidate, the undivided part with 4 prominent fold- like 

 protuberances partly filling the throat; segments of upper lip each deflexed 

 and coiled backward into a ring, the corolla-tube at base of these seg- 

 ments abruptly raised into a sharp protuberance. — Plains of the lower 

 Sacramento, especially about Elmira. May. 



* * * Segments of corolla not very dissimilar. 



6. B. hn inilis, Greene. Very dwarf, the stem branching, only about 

 1 in. high: segments of the calyx-limb linear, unequal, exceeding the 

 minute white corolla; this bilabiate, the upper segments being smaller, 

 but all of them ovate-oblong, acute. — Moist plains of Sonoma Co. 



Obdbr lxi. CAMPANULACE/E. 



Closely allied to Lobeliacea;; but corolla regular (in our genera); 

 stamens quite distinct. Style 1, with 2—5 introrse stigmas. Flowers in 

 all ours blue, or bluish. 



Capsule dehiscent by small valvular openings on the sides; 



Flowers all having corollas Campanula 1 



" all but the uppermost apetalous Teiodanis 2 



Capsule bursting on the thin sides indefinitely Heterocodon 3 



Capsule opening at top, within the calyx (Jithopsis 4 



1. CAMPANULA, Dodoens. Flowers all complete. Calyx- lobes 5, 

 narrow; tube short and broad. Corolla 5-lobed or -parted. Filaments 

 dilated at base. Capsule short, opening on the sides by 3—5 small 

 uplifted valves.
