Mt. Davidson, San Francisco No. 10,331. Muilla maritima Wats. Stamens set well off the receptacle on the base of the perianth segments, 1 or nearly 1 mm. from base of pistil to base of stamens.

Phacelia californica Cham. Scales attached to base of filament, this making a pocket behind, the scale on its upper margin connivent with the scale of the adjacent pair,
