of the tomentose pubescence usual to this group; the involucre peculiar.” Greene, 
Erythea, ili, 78 (1895), 
Type specimen in the herbarium of the University of California. This plant 
bears on its peduncles and involucre, and sometimes more sparingly on its leaves 
and stem, the glandular hairs commonly found in C, oceidentalis, but it lacks the 
usual tomentum of that species, while the narrow lobes of its deeply pinnatifid 
leaves are obtuse or at most broadly acute. From C. monticola it differs in the 
seantiness of the glandular-hirsute pubescence and its almost entire absence from 
the stem, besides the character of the leaf lobes described above.

CREPIS MONTICOLA Coville, sp. nov. 
Plant perennial, with a single stem from each caudex, 12 to 25 em. high; stem 
striate-angulate, hirsute, the hairs glanduliferons and commonly 2 to 3 mm. long; 
leaves variable in form, sometimes with merely irregularly dentate margins, some- 
times deeply pinnatifid with toothed or even pinnatifid lobes, less densely hirsute 
and with shorter hairs than the stem, devoid of tomentum; involucres barely calyc- 
ulate, 15 to 20 or even 23 mm. long, bearing glanduliferous bristles like the stem, 
and usually with scant tomentum also; mature achenia not seen. PLATE XXII. 
Type specimen in the herbarium of the Catholic University, Washington, collected 
May 26, 1876, near Yreka, Siskiyou County, California, by Edward L. Greene (No. 
810). 
This plant, which has hitherto been referred erroneously to Crepis occidentalis 
erinita, differs from C. occidentalis in its hirsute stem and leaves, its obsolescent 
tomentum, and its longer involucres; from C, subacaulis in the presence of glands on 
its bristly hairs and in the absence of tomentum on its stem and leaves.

CREPIS SUBACAULIS (Kellogg). 
Plant perennial, with one to three stems from each caudex, commonly 10 to 15 em, 
high, in one very large specimen almost 35 em, and in another depauperate one only 
6em.; stem striate-angulate, hirsute with glandless divaricate hairs often 2 mm. 
long, rarely devoid of these hairs, scantily or densely tomentose, cymosely branch- 
ing, usually from near the base; leaves deeply pinnatifid or bipinnatifid, with the 
same pubescence as the stem, the long hairs borne particularly upon the petiole and 
midrib; anthodia variable in height, on stout, usually long, peduncles; involucre 12 
to 22 (usually more than 15) mm, long, tomentose like the stem and leaves, and usu- 
ally provided with a few long glandless bristles, either stramineous or greenish black 
in color; achenia (not fully mature) about 8 to 10 mm. long, 10- to 15-costate, scabrous 
toward the apex. PLaTE XXIII. 
This plant bears a resemblance, in the case of its larger, more hirsute, and less 
tomentose specimens, to C. monticola, in its smaller, nonhirsute, and more tomentose
