92 BOTANY OF THE DEATH VALLEY EXPEDITION. 



Menziesso named by Pursh in Herb. Lambert." There can be no reasonable doubt, 

 however, that the well-known S. diimosa is the same as Pursh's plant, for it is known 

 now that S. ariafoiia is a tall, tree-like shrnb, often 5 meters high, and is confine 1 to 

 a narrow strip along the Pacific coast, while Pnrsh's type was from the Rocky 

 Mountains of Idaho, and was described by him as " a shrnb about 5 feet high." The 

 Rafinesquian name Sckizonoiue cannot be retained for this genus because Lindley 

 had previously enployed the same name for Rafinesque's Barilima. 



Specimens were seen between Mineral King and Farewell Gap (No. 1490), in the 

 Sierra Nevada; along the Ilocket Trail, on the eastern slope of the same range; 

 and in Death Valley Canon (No. 201G) and Telescope Peak (No. 2030), Panamint 

 Mountains. 



Adenostoma fasciculatum Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beech, 139 (1832). Type local- 

 ity, " in sandy plains in the Bay of Monterrey." 



This shrub is abundant from the base of the San Bernardino Mountains (No. 103) 

 nearly to the summit of Cajon Pass, and forms an important part of the dense chap- 

 arral which covers the southern slope of these mountains below the forests. On the 

 western slope of the Sierra Nevada it was seen under similar conditions, but less 

 abundant, a few miles above Three Rivers, along the east branch of the Kaweah River 

 (No. 1301). 



Rubus parviflorus Nutt. Gen. i. 308 (1818). Type locality, " on the island of 

 Michilimackinak, lake Huron." 



On the western slope of the Sierra Nevada (Nos. 1341, 1842). 



Rubus vitifoliua Cham. & Schlecht. Linnrea, ii. 10 (1827;. Type locality, "San 

 Francisco, Californiae." 



This plant, commonly known under the name 11. ursinus Cham. & Schlecht., 1 oc- 

 curred in the canon west of Tejon Ranch, on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. 



Kunzia glandulosa (Currau) Bull. Cal. Acad. i. 153 (1885) under Purthia; 

 Greene, Pittonia, ii. 299 (1892). Type locality, "On the Mojave side of Tehachapi 

 Pass." 



This plant is readily distinguished from Kunzia tridentata by its leaves, those of 

 the latter being narrowly cuneate-obovato, tapering evenly from base to apex, 3- or 

 rarely 5-tootlied or lobed at the apex, densely white-cobwebby over the entire sur- 

 face beneath, sparingly so above, not resinous-punctate on the upper surface; while 

 those of the variety have a narrow, linear, petiole-like base, abruptly expanding 

 into a cnueate-obovate blade 3- to 5-parted into linear divisions, white-cobwebby 

 beneath only in the narrow lines between the veins and the margins of the leaf-parts, 

 atul with a i'ew conspiruous resinous dots on the usually glabrous upper surface. 

 Indeed the leaves of K. f/landulosa so exactly resemble those of Cowania mcxicana 

 (which are usually, however, 5-to7-lobedf that the writer is not always able to dis- 

 tinguish them. The two species of Kunzia differ, in addition, in the general canes- 

 cent appearance of K. tridentata and the green color of K. glandulosa, and are said to 

 differ further in habit and in the fruit. 



The shrub was found in the Charleston Mountains, on the road to Clark's sawmill 

 (No. 299); at the head of Willow Creek (No. 7(38) and Mill Creek canons, Panamint 

 Mountains; in the Coso Mountains, near Crystal Spring; and on the east slope of 

 Walker Pass. It occupied in these places a position just below the nut pines or in 

 their lower edge, and well above the upper limit of Larrca. All the specimens col- 

 lected from the Charleston Mountains. Nevada, westward clearly belong to K, glan- 

 dulosa, and show no variation toward K. tridentata; but Mr. Bailey collected on the 

 Beaverdam Mountains (No. 1917), just within the border of Utah, along with K. tri- 

 dentata, a form of K. glandulosa varyingdecidedly in the direction of the other speciea. 



As Kunzia, Cowania, and Fallugia are so often confused by those not well acquainted
