rowly linear, cuspidate, 4—6 lines long, }—4 line broad: stipules white, 
attenuate, 2-3 lines long: inflorescence racemiform; pedicels truly 
filiform, exceeding the bracts and about twice as long as the oblong- 
lanceolate scarious-margined acutish glandular-pubescent sepals: cor- 
olla 14 lines in diameter, scarcely equalling the calyx: capsule of the 
same length; seeds “semiobovate” and minutely crested but not 
winged. — Rel. Haenk. ii. 9; Gray, Gen. ii. 28, t. 108, & Man. ed. 1,

Club, xvi. 127.— An attractive species, growing about paths in dry 
sandy soil. Maine to Virginia, and Washington State, Suksdorf; to 
San Francisco, Mrs. Brandegee. (Europe.) 
S. Clevelandi. Perennial, viscid-glandular: leaves ascending, 
often secund, conspicuously fascicled in the axils, almost terete and 
filiform, very acute and attenuate, 5-10 lines in length: flowers much 
as in the last, but often somewhat larger: seeds winged. — Zissa vil- 
losa, Britton, 1. c. xvi. 129. . Clevelandi, Greene, F]. Francis. 127. 
T. rubra, K. Brandegee, Zoe, iv. 84. — Sandy soil, California, 5a” 
Diego, Cleveland, Mrs. Brandegee; San José, Mrs. Bush; and at 
the Presidio, San Francisco, according to Prof. Greene. A doubtful 
species with close affinities, as Mrs. Brandegee suggests, to S. ru 
but not readily identifiable with any form of that species, as it seems 
to differ in its longer, more terete and acute leaves, and winged seeds. 
From the South American S. villosa it differs in its lower growth, 
distinctly smaller flowers, shorter pedicels, and somewhat firmer and 
less flaccid leaves. 
«* * Slender spreading or erect annuals of the West and Southwest, scarcely 
fleshy, and with short deltoid stipules. 
+ Corolla pink (or white?) more than half as long as the sepals. 
S$. diandra, Boiss. Viscid-pubescent to nearly glabrous: leaves 
not fascicled, linear-filiform: pedicels slender, about 2 lines Jong, 
spreading or deflexed: sepals in fruit 14 lines long, but little exceeded 
by the capsules: stamens usually but 2-3. — FI]. Orient. i. 733. Are- 
naria diandra, Guss, Prodr. Sic. i. 515. Tissa diandra, Britton, Bull. 
Torr. Club, xvi. 128.— Texas, Drummond, Lindheimer, Goshets 
Calif., Mrs. Brandegee, Oregon, Henderson, and on sandy banks = 
the Columbia River in Klickitat Co., Washington, Suksdorf. In ™ 
_ wiry procumbent stems this species also suggests S. rubra, from which, 
_ however, it differs in its short deltoid stipules.
