Hesperochiron(Greek, hesperos, originally evening, but here western, i.e., in the direction of the setting sun, and Chiron, a centaur distinguished for his knowledge of plants; hence "Western Centaury," these plants being at first placed in the Gentian family). Hydrophyllaceae. Northwest American tufted perennial herbs with scapes bearing solitary, rather large whitish flowers, ¾ inch or less long. The nearest allied genera of recognized garden value are Phacelia and Eminenanthe, which are very distinct in color of flowers, general appearance and cymose inflorescence.

Dwarf, stemless perennials or possibly biennials: peduncles all radical and 1-fld.: lvs. entire, spatulate or oblong: fls. purplish or nearly white, with parts normally in 5's rarely in G's to 7's; style 2-cut: caps. 1- celled, loculicidal, 15-20-seedcd; seeds minutely netted or wrinkled.—Two species that have been procurable through Californian specialists and collectors.
