verform corolla, neither exserted nor declined : ovules solitary in . the cells : 

 seed-coat with abundant spiracles except in one species : annuals, with neither

G. aristella. A span high, with almost filiform and few-leaved stem and lax branches, mi- 

 nutely pubescent above and viscid : leaves lanceolate-linear and tapering to both ends (inch or 

 less long, a line or two wide) : flowers 1 to 3 in the forks and upper axils : corolla purple, 

 with filiform tube 4 to 6 lines long and small lobes : calyx-lobes (2 lines long) aristiform 

 from a triangular base : capsule obovate-3-lobed with attenuate base. — Collomia linearis, var. 

 subulata, p. 135, as to an attenuate form. — Northern part of California, Greene, &c, and

G. leptotes, Gray, 1. c. Collomia tenella, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. viii. 259, &c. — Known

 referred to it belong to the preceding. 



Gr. gracilis, Hook. Collomia gracilis, Dougl., Benth., &c. — Peculiar in having so many of 

 the leaves opposite, and in the absence of spiracles in the seed-coat, as mentioned on 

 p. 135. 



§ 5 2 . Cotjrtoisia. Flowers of § Collomia (and as in that either scattered or 

 in foliose-bracteate clusters) ; foliage of Eugilia, the leaves from pinnately com- 

 pound to entire, the larger petioled : ovules from solitary to several in the cells.

Gr. glutinosa. Collomia glutinosa and C. gilioides, Benth. Bot. Reg. 1833, & DC, &c. 

 C. gilioides, ed. 1, 135. — Very variable in size, form and division of leaves, and degree of 

 viscidity, but apparently all of one species. 



Gr. capillaris, Kellogg, Proc. Calif. Acad. v. 46. Collomia leptalea, Gray, 1. c. & Syu. IX 

 ed. 1, 136. — Varies extremely in size, some of it answering well to the specific name, some 

 more rigid and smaller-flowered ; the corolla from pink to almost white. Extends north-
