278 ONAGRACEAE. 



elegans lb calyx character but may be known by its 2-lobed petals with a 

 subulate lobe in the sinus. — (C. parviflora Eastw.) 



EeterogaURA CALIFOBNICA Rothrock. Annual; petals purple, 2 lines long; 

 4 of the 8 stamens sterile; ovary 4-celled; fruit indehiscent, with one seed 

 in each cell. — Sierra Nevada. Nearly allied to Clarkia. 



7. EUCHARIDIUM F. & M. 

 Small annuals with showy flowers. Calyx-tube linear-elongated or almost 

 filiform above the ovary. Petals 3-lobed. Stamens 4, not appendaged at 

 base; those opposite the petals wanting. Otherwise like Clarkia. (Greek 

 eucharis, pleasing.) 



Petals 3-lobed, the lobes nearly equal 1. E. concinnum. 



Petals fan-shaped and obcordate, a linear or spatulate lobe proceeding from the deep 



sinus and exceeding in length the lateral lobes, which are several times larger 



2. E. breweri. 



1. E. concinnum F. & M. Simple below or diffusely much branched 

 from the base, y 2 to 2 ft. high, nearly glabrous; leaves broadly to narrowly 

 oblong; calyx-tube above ovary 8 lines long; calyx-lobes crimson, linear- 

 lanceolate, 9 lines long, abruptly recurved from the middle; petals rose-purple, 

 7 to 12 lines long, cuneate-obovate, 3-lobed, the middle broadest but little 

 larger than the lateral; filaments not at all or scarcely dilated at base or 

 apex, the anthers recurved after dehiscence and sparsely short-ciliate; capsule 

 sessile, nearly straight, % to 1 in. long; seeds short subcylindric, pointed at 

 one end, the other end oblique and margined with a dense row of short teeth. 

 — (Clarkia concinna Greene.) 



Wooded districts of the Coast Ranges at middle altitudes, rarely in the 

 lowest foothills: Humboldt Co. to Santa Barbara, especially common in the 

 Bay region. May-June. The three upper petals are commonly approximate 

 and ascending, the lower one opposite these and declined, thus making a cor- 

 olla which is physiologically irregular and as if bilabiate. 



2. E. breweri Gray. Branches few and spreading, 5 to 9 in. high; calyx- 

 tube above ovary 1 to 1^4 in. long; petals a most beautiful luminous pink, 

 fan-shaped and obcordate, about 1 in. long, the rather deep sinus with a 

 linear or spatulate lobe proceeding from it which surpasses the large lateral 

 lobes; filaments clavate- or globose-dilated at apex; anthers linear, brick- 

 red, 3 lines long, conspicuously ciliate; style much longer than the stamens; 

 stigmas white; capsule stout, sessile, straight, 1% in. long; seeds as in the 

 preceding. — (Clarkia breweri Greene.) 



Loose-shale slopes, San Carlos Range north to Mt. Hamilton, Mt. Day and 

 Loma Prieta; also near the Geysers, Sonoma Co. (=C. saxeana Greene). Rare 

 and somewhat local species. The filaments and style are colored like the 

 pel. -ils. The flowers diffuse a most delicate fragrance, recalling the honey- 

 suckle of old-time gardens. 



8. GODETIA Spach. 

 Mostly erect annuals with narrow shortly petioled or sessile alternate leaves. 

 Rowers showv, red, purple, cream-color or nearly white, opening during the 

 day, disposed lb leafy racemes or spikes, the inflorescence sometimes reduced 



to bul few (lowers or a single one. Calyx often colored, its lobes rotlexed in 

 anthesis, or united and turned to one side; calyx tube ODCOnic or funnelf'orm. 



Petals l. commonly broad and entire, sometimes notched or 2-lobed. Stamens
