San Diego, Sept. 25, 1903, T, S. Brandegee (UC) ; Switzer Canyon, San 
Diego Park, Oct. 8, 1905. Katherine Brandegee (UC) Park, San Diego, 
June, 1906, Katherine Brandegee (PC); The above three specimens 
vary in their extremely slender habit, with longer and more slender 
flowers, but are for the present included here. 
A specimen labeled Lake Co., 29 Aug., 1888, Edw. L. Greene, (UC), 
has somewhat longer leaves slightly dentate at the apex, and more 
slender flowers. 
2. ZAUSCHNERIA MICROPHYLLA (Gray). Z. Californica var. micro- 
phylla Gray, in herb. 
Erect or ascending, sparingly branched, branches short and very slen- 
der, canescent with a fine close pubescence becoming glabrate in age; 
leaves linear, entire, mucronate at apex, 35 mm. or less in length, 1 to 1.5 
mm. wide, densely gray-canescent with a minute appressed pubescence, 
densely fascicled in the axils; calyx-tube 20 mm. long, constricted to a 
diameter of 2 mm. 4 mm. above the globose (5 mm. diameter) base, 
thence broadly funnel-form widening to 8-10 mm. at throat, more or less 
villous and glandular; sepals 8 mm. long; petals 10 mm. long; stamens 
scarcely at all exserted; style exserted 5-6 mm.; ovary more or less 
beset with short-stalked glands; capsule about 25 mm. long, somewhat 
falcate, pedicellate. 
This is the common form around Los Angeles and vicinity. Dr. 
Abrams kindly looked up the specimen that Dr. Gray named the var. 
microphylla as noted under Z. Cal'fornia. It is apparently more closely 
related to Z. cana Greene than to Z. Californica Presl, although it might 
be considered a connecting link between them, having the foliage more 
like the latter and the pubescence more of the former. However in its 
floral characteristics it is quite distinct from either. A spcimen collected 
on the slopes of Cahuenga Peak, near Los Angeles, Sept. 1, 1919, by the 
writer, has the tube again constricted just at the insertion of the petals, 
giving the flower a somewhat saccate appearance.
