 morsa. Our plant is a canescent-puberulcnt form, with leaves more deeply dentate 

 than usual, and the two upper petals purple on the back. Altogether our plant re- 

 sembles in general appearance Professor Greene's V. jriiietorum. 2 



POLYGALACEiE. 



Krameria canescens Gray, PL Wright, i. 42 (1852). Type locality, "prairies 

 near the Pecos," Texas. 



This species was found by Dr. Merriam and Mr. Bailey in the valleys of the Vir- 

 gin (No. 1926) and Muddy rivers, Nevada. 



Krameria parvifolia Benth. Bot. Sulph. 6 (1814).* Typo locality, "Bay of Mag- 

 dalena," Lower California. 



The first specimens of Krameria were observed at Copper City Spring, about 60 kilo- 

 meters north of Daggett. It was next seen on the divide between Saratoga Springs 

 and Amargosa, where it occurred in abundance. It was found afterwards on the 

 mountain east of Resting Springs; about Twelve Mile Spring, Resting Springs Val- 

 ley; on both slopes of the divide between this and Pahrump valleys; on the divide 

 between Ash Meadows and Pahrump; on the rocks about the Devil Hole, Ash 

 Meadows; on the western foot-slopes of the Charleston Mountains, along the roads 

 to both Clark's sawmill and Mountain Spring Pass; at several points in Vegas Val- 

 ley; on both slopes of the divide northwest of Towner's; on the eastern foot-slopes 

 of the Funeral Mountains, west of Amargosa; and in the upper part of Johnson 

 Canon, Panamint Mountains. Mr. Bailey collected flowering specimens in Resting 

 Springs Valley (No. 1874). A few of the localities here recorded may prove to be 

 those of K. canescens, as most of the observations were made in winter, and the 

 plants did not always show their specific characters. It was only in limestone soil 

 that Krameria parvifolia was abundant. Dr. Merriam reported it in Indian Spring, 

 Pahranagat, Virgin, and Muddy valleys, Nevada; and in the Santa Clara Valley and 

 Beaverdam Mountains, Utah. 



FRANKENIACEiE. 



Frankenla grandifolia Cham. &, Schlecht. Linnsea, i. 35 (1826). Type locality, 

 "in sabulosis Novae Califbraiae ad portum St. Francisci." 



In the Tulare Plains (Nos. 1127, 1231). The typical plant which grows within 

 reach of the water of the Pacific Ocean is much broader-leafed than the plant of the 



iBot. Gaz. xi. 289 (1886), «Pittonia, ii. 14 (1889).
