60 BOTANY OP THE DEATH VALLEY EXPEDITION. 



Eschscholtzia crocea Bcnth. Trans. Hort. Soc. Lond. ser. 2. i. 407 (1835). Type 

 locality Califoriiiaii. 

 Tehachapi Valley (No. 1115). Authenticated by E. L. Greene. 



Eschscholtzia hypecoides Benth. Trans. Hort. Soc. Lond. sor. 2. i. 407 (1835). 

 Type locality Californian. 

 Valley of the Kaweah River (No. 1322). Determined by E. L. Greene. 



Eschscholtzia minutiflora Wats. Proc. Amer. Acad. xi. 122 (1876). Type lo- 

 cality, "from Northwestern Nevada to Arizona and Southern Utah." 



Specimens of No. 519 have been examined by Professor Greene, who writes: "No. 

 519 is a well-known Eschscholtzia which we always put into E, minutijlora, though 

 the type of that species is * * * smaller-flowered." The petals of these speci- 

 mens are 5 to 10 mm. in length. Although originally described as with flowers 

 three lines or less in diameter, and later 1 as with petals only one or two lines long, 

 the petals of No. 51, King Survey, reach a length of 7 mm. The early flowers of 

 robust specimens appear to be the largest. 



This is the common and characteristic species of the southern portion of the Great 

 Basin. It was observed first in Long Valley on the same day on which we entered 

 Death Valley; in the Funeral Mountains, near Saratoga Springs, and in the canon 

 of Mesquite Spring (No. 334); near Resting Springs Mine; in the Vegas Wash; 

 along the road between Towner's ranch and Ash Meadows; in Johnson (No. 519), 

 Surprise, and Mill Creek canons, Panamint Mountains; and in a canon of the Iuyo 

 Mountains, near Swansea. 



FTJMARIACEiE. 



Bikukulla chrysantha (Hook. & Am.) Bot. Beech. 320 (1839-40), under Tiiehitra. 

 Type locality not specifically given. The specimens were collected by Douglas, 

 probably near San Francisco or Monterey. 



San Bernardino Valley (No. 41), and along the South Fork of Kern River (No. 

 1030). Dr. N. L. Britton has shown clearly that Adanson's generic name Bikukulla 

 antedates both Dicentra and DiclytraS The name Caprioi-chis, recently adopted for 

 the genus, is earlier than the Species Plautarum of Linnaeus. 



Bikukulla formosa (Andr.) Bot. Eepos. vi. t. 393 (1804), under Fumaria. Species 

 described from plants cultivated in England; type locality unknown. 

 Near Mineral King, Sierra Nevada (No. 1410). 



Bikukulla pauciflora (Wats.) Bot. Cal. ii. 429 (1880), under Dicentra. Type 

 localities, "Scott Mountains, near snow," and "near Castle Lake," California. 

 Near Mineral King, Sierra Nevada (No. 1559). 



CRUCIFERiE. 



Rorippa nasturtium (L.) Sp. PI. ii. 657(1753), under Sttymltium; Ensliy, Mem. 

 Torr. Club, iii. No. 3. 5 (1893). Type locality,* " in Europa & America septentrionali 

 ad fontes." The combination liorlppa nasturtium does not occur in Scopoli, as cited 

 by Dr. Rushy, and appears to have been first used by the latter writer. 



This, the common water cress, grow along ditches in the San Bernardino Valley; 

 at Winter's ranch, Pahrump Valley; at Cottonwood Springs, Vegas Valley ; at a 

 spring near the old adobe house about 4 miles north of Keeler; along a stream in 

 Walker Basin ; in Tehachapi Valley; at Willow Spring and Crane Lake in Antelope 

 Valley; and near Tejon Ranch.
