4-8-39 Eriogonum inflatum Torr. v. Frem J 907; M 118
Fl. Ocotillo. All(?) good. Hairs only softer than "short-hirsute" suggests but if green in appearance
4-8-39 Eschscholtzia minutiflora Wats J 403; M 181 Flv adv. fr. Ocotillo. Stigmas 2 in the 3 flo. studied?
4-8-39 Penstemon centranthifolius Benth. J 912; M 468
Fl. West J Ocotillo. Very showy [5-20-39 Red Palmer Beehive
Verified as "Scarlet Badges" "Same as on ridge & descent" by
Mr. Covel quoting Mr. C.
4-8-39 Encelia farinosa Gray J 1082; M 550 Flv fr.
Ocotillo. Heads, after flowering bent abruptly downward;
when crushed heads have sweetish (somewhat pineapple)
odor.
4-8-39 ? Cryptantha angustifolia Greene J 847; M 428
Flv fr. Ocotillo. Using key in M. we reach F.E p 434. R.B.T
sees no great dif. as to side on which calyx was hirsute but
if there is a dif then it is more so on abaxial side (anyway
our plant cannot be #15) Calyx strict, nutlets & bristles?
Nutlets not "decisibly" heteromorphic but one seems always
somewhat larger than others (as desc. for #21) and to R.B.T's
best belief is abaxial (anyway our plant cannot be #16, 17 or 18).
Pedicels short (not more than 1 mm at most. Racemes densely
cespitoid. Plant 8 cm high, branching from the base up
