 etc. 



Mitella pentandra Hook. Bot. Mag. lvi. t. 2933 (1829). Type locality, "Rocky 

 Mountains of North America." 



This Mitella differs from M. breweri (which has round-reniform leaves, long, 

 llexuous, brown hairs on the upper part of its petioles, and stamens opposite the 

 calyx-lobes) in its cordate-ovate leaves, petiolar hairs, if any, straight, white, and 

 reflexed, and stamens opposite the petals. Both are similar in their closely orenate 

 leaf-margins, rotate calyx-tube, deltoid spreading calyx-lobes, and filiform-pi mialisect 

 petals, similar to those of .1/. nuda, and differ in these respects from .1/, tr'ifula, which 

 has broadly crcnato leaf margins, turbinate calyx-tube, oblong, erect calyx-lobes, 

 and bifid or palmately trifid, long-clawed petals. Our specimens were collected 

 near Whitney Meadows (No. 1702). 



This species appears not to have been collected in California before. It occurs 

 from the Wasatch Mountains, IT tali, and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado north- 

 ward, and in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. 



Heuchera micrantha Dougl. Bot. Reg. xv. 1. 1302 (1829). Type locality,- "in 

 mountainous woods, near the grand Rapids of the Columbia." 

 Valley of the Kaweah River (No. 1328). 



Heuchera rubescens Torr. in Stansb. Rep. 388(1852). Type locality, "Ktuns- 

 bury's Island, Salt Lake."' 



In the Sierra Nevada (Nos. 1188, 2093), and on Telescope Peak (No. 2035). The 

 original description of this plant was given in the place above mentioned, not, as 

 ordinarily cited, in Sitgreaves's Report. 



Parnassia californica (Cray) Bot. Cal. i. 202 (1876), as 7*. paluetris vnliformca; 

 Greene, Pittonia, ii. 102 (1890). Type locality Californian, but not definately given. 



Lyon Meadow, Sierra Nevada (No. 1733). Our specimens are smaller than is usual 

 in the Californian plant, the leaf blades not exceeding 25 mm. in length, nor the 

 llowers 23 mm. in width; but the tapering root-leaves and the very small caulino 

 leaf situated above the middle of the stem are the same. 



Jamesia americana Torr. & Or. Fl. i. 593 (1840). Type locality, "along the 

 Platte or the Canadian River, near the Rocky Mountains." 



In the Sierra Nevada (No. 1533), and the Panamint Mountains (No. 2015). This 

 plant has never been reported from California until the present year. 1 



Fendlera rupicola Engeliu. & Gr. in Gray, PI. Wright, i. 77 (1852). Type 

 locality, "on perpendicular rocks of the Guadalupe, above New Braunfels, Texas." 



A shrub that probably belongs to this species, or perhaps to l'hilmkli>hnn micio- 

 phyllus, was found near Clark's sawmill, on the west slope of the Charleston Moun- 

 tains, at 9,500 feet altitude, in the yellow pine belt. 



Ribes aureura l'ursh, PL 1(51 (1811). Type locality, "on the banks of the rivers 

 Missouri and Columbia." 



Cottonwood Canon, Panamint Mountains (No. 961). The leaves in these speci- 

 mens are unusually small, the largest being only 17 mm. long. 



Ribes cereum Dougl. Trans. Horfc. Soc. Lond. vii. 512 (1830). Type locality, "on 

 dry exposed decayed granite rocks or schist, throughout the chain of the river 

 Columbia from the Great Palls 45° 46' 17" N. Lat. to the source of that stream in 

 the Rocky Mountains. 52^ 07' 09"." 



On Telescope Peak (Nos. 2023, 2039), and in the high Sierra Nov tula (Nos. 1391, 

 1521, 2056). In this species the leaves bear short-stalked glands, which later in the
