 plant was published as Gcum cercoearpoiden by De Candolle (Prodr. ii. 551) in the 

 same year, 1825. 



This shrub was found on the Charleston Mountains, beginning with the desert juni- 

 per at 5,200 feet and extending upward in the Upper Sonoran. It was observed both 

 on the road to Clark's sawmill (No. 300) and in Mountain Springs Pass. Dr. Merriam

Near Whitney Meadows (No. 1712). A strawberry occurred in several places in 

 the upper Kern River Valley, but it was not collected in fruit and its reference to this 

 species is based merely on the probability that it could be no other.

"This plant was collected in winter, so that only the remains of the inflorescence of 

 the preceding year were found. The leaves at first sight closely resemble those of 

 P. sant olinoides. The plant was found in but one place, about two miles east of 

 Watkins's ranch (and about one-half mile south of the Devil Hole) in an alkaline 

 limestone marsh on a sloping gravely mesa, growing with Spar Una gravilix, Ancmopsis 

 cali/ornica, and Schcenw nigricans.
