Eschscholzia californica Cham. var. californica

EsghscholLTzia THBRM0i‘ini<A Gfeene, Pittonia, 5: 256. 1905.
No. 7765, collected April 26, about a mile inside of Kern
canyon, Kern county, growing on steep slopes. This is one of
«the most distinct of the recently described species, and our
plants, are typical, njatching exactly the type in the herbarium
I of the California Academy, collected by Brandegee near Calir
jente. Our station is only a few miles from Caliente in an air
line. The species is remarkable for its thin leaves, deep green
| above, with broad segments. The flowers are deep orange; and
the plant is probably abundant, since one having flowers
such color grows in immense quantities on the surroundipg| M&r ?
ridges, some of the patches so large that they may be seen when 1 —
many miles distant. ' ,	1’ ^	. '?/'¡¿J'1'
