ONAGRACEiE. 



filament with a reddish densely hairy scale at base, most developed 

 opposite the short stamens; anthers of long stamens bright crimson, 

 3 lines long; anthers of short stamens commonly white; capsule 

 usually curved, sessile, 7 to 12 lines long, often hairy. 



Same range as no. 1 and as common: Santa Clara Co.; Oakland 

 Hills; Napa; Vacaville; Upper Sacramento, etc. Flowering con- 

 temporaneously. Petals often spreading laterally in pairs, the 4 

 longer stamens with deflexed or retrocurved filaments. 



C. Xantiana Gray, of the Upper San Joaquin at Fort Tejon, is 

 like this species in calyx character but may be known by its 2-lobed 

 petals with a subulate lobe in the sinus. 



3. C. concinna (F. & M.) Greene. Simple below or diffusely 

 much branched from the base, 5 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, f to 1 in. long; seeds short subcylindric, 

 pointed at one end, the other end oblique and margined with a dense 

 row of short teeth. — (Eucharidium concinnum F. & M. C. grandiflora 

 Greene.) 



Common in the Coast Ranges at middle altitudes, rarely in the 

 lower foothills: Humboldt Co. acc. to Blankinship; Round Valley, 

 W ester mann; Ukiah; Napa Mountains; Vaca Mountains; Petaluma; 

 Ross Valley; Oakland Hills; Mt. Hamilton and Loma Prieta. 

 Yosemite Valley, acc. to Mrs. Brandegee. Last of May-June. 

 The three upper petals are commonly approximate and ascending, 

 the lower one opposite these and declined, thus making a corolla 

 which is physiologically irregular and bilabiate. 



4. C. Breweri (Gray) Greene. Five to 9 in. high; calyx-tube 

 above ovary 1 to \\ in. long; petals rose-color, 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 spatulate, dilated at apex; anthers linear, 3 lines long, 

 pilose-ciliate; style much longer than the stamens; capsule stout, 

 sessile, straight, \\ in. long; seeds as in the preceding. — (Eucharidium 

 Breweri Gray.) 



Rare and somewhat local species of the Mt. Diablo Range: first 

 discovered on the summit of Mt. Oso by Brewer, no. 1247, June 9, 

 1862; Loma Prieta, Price; Mt. Hamilton; Hernandez; Priest Valley. 

 The filaments and style are colored like the petals. The flowers 

 diffuse a most delicate fragrance, recalling the honeysuckle of 

 old-time gardens. 



7. GODETIA Spach. 

 Simple or branching erect annuals with alternate leaves. Flowers 

 mostly in leafy racemes or spikes. Calyx-tube above the ovary
