Dr. Leavenworth ! June-July.—Stems 6-12 inches high. Petals about half
an inch in length, twice as long as the stamens, bright yellow.—Mr. Nuttall
considers his CE. spinulosa to be a very distinct species ; but our suite of specimens
furnishes numerous intermediate forms between this and CE. leucocarpa,
which are the two extremes.
§ 4. Stigma with 4 short linear or roundish lobes : tube of the calyx obconic
or infundibuliform, mostly shorter than the ovary : petals flabelliform, erose
at the summit: stamens short, erect: the filaments (flat) opposite the petals
much shortest: anthers oblong, fixed near the base, erect, or at length arcuate
: capsules cylindrical or oblong-conical, mostly sessile, coriaceous: seeds
ascending or horizontal, in a single series, with a crustaceous testa : the
chalaza large, bordered with a very minute denticulate membranaceous border
: stems annual: flowers diurnal, inodorous, lilac-purple or rose-color,
erect before expansion.—G o d e t ia , Spach.
* Lobes of the stigma linear (yellow): capsule elongated, attenuate at the base,
canescent or puberuleut: seeds ascending (flowers large).
29. CE. Lindleyi (Dougl.): stem diffuse, ascending, branched; leaves
linear-lanceolate, mostly entire, acute at each end, nearly glabrous; tube of

it appears abundantly distinct from either. The flowers are about as large
