CATALOGUE OF SPECIES. 101 



like ours, from the Rocky Mountains, were described by Roth rock in tbe American. 

 Naturalist, vol. viii., p. 338 (1874), as Eibes toolfii. No adequate series of inter- 

 grades lias been seen, and it appears probable that the plant will stand as a good 

 species. In 1855 Dr. Albert Kellogg described in the proceedings of the California 

 Academy, vol. i. p. 63, a currant t hat lie named "L'ibes Xavadai ; nnifi." This is referred, 

 in Watson's Bibliographical Index, to/?, aanguineumvariegaium, but the character, 

 "leaves * * * pubescent above and below," given in the original description, 

 appears to prevent that disposition of it. Dr. Kellogg did not mention the place 

 from which his specimen came. 1 Our specimens were collected in the valley of the 

 Kaweah River (No, 1340). 



Ribes viscosissimum Pursh, IT. 163 (1814). Type locality, "on the Rocky 

 mountain in the interior of North America." 

 Near Mineral King, Sierra Nevada (Nos. 1381, 1496). 



CRASSULACEiE. 



Cotyledon. 



In the Panamint Mountains (Nos. 490, 559), and the southern Sierra Nevada (Nos. 

 1106, 1155). A satisfactory determination of the specimens collected cannot be 

 made with the material at hand. Nob. 490 and 559, when last examined, more than 

 fifteen months from the dates of collection still bore fresh leaves that had formed 

 while the plant was drying. 



Sedum radiatum Wats. Proc. Amer. Acad, xviii. 193(1883). Type locality, " in 

 the Coast Ranges of California; on Gavillau Peak, Monterey County," etc. 



In the chaparral belt of the Sierra Nevada, in the valley of the Kaweah River 

 (No. 1326). Although the plant lias not been reported from the Sierras, our speci- 

 mens are identical with those from the Coast Ranges. It was collected in mature fruit 

 with the dried sepals, petals, and stamens still persisting almost intact. At this 

 time most of the leaves were quite dry and scarious and showed the conspicuous 

 veining described by Dr. Watson. Those of the basal offshoots are roughened on 

 their margins. The carpels are horizontally divaricate or even slightly reflexed 

 when mature. The drying of the leaves in early summer must not be taken to indi- 

 cate that the plant is short-lived, for the specimens when examined more than four 

 months after their collection were growing in their sheets. 



Sedum loseura (L.) Sp. PL ii. 1035 (1753), under Rhodiola; Scop. Fl. Cam. ed.2. 

 i. 326 (1772). Type locality European. 



Near Mineral King, Sierra Nevada (No. 1529). This is the Sedum rhodiola of De 

 Candolle. 



Sedum stenopetalum Pursh, Fl. i. 324 (1814). Type locality, "on rocks on the 

 banks of Clarck's river and Kooskoosky," Idaho. 



Near Mineral King (No. 1530). This plant, although common in the Rocky Moun- 

 tains and extending westward to Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, seems never to 

 have been found in California before. 



HALORAGACB31. 



Callitriche bolanderi Hegelm. Verhand. Bot. Ver. Brand, x. 116 (1868). Type 

 locality, "bei Auburn, Sierra," California. 

 Near Kernville (No. 1043). 



•By the kindness of Mrs. Katharine Bramlcgce, I have been able to examine Dr. 

 Kellogg's type specimen, which he has marked "The black currant of Placorvillo." 

 The fruit has entirely disappeared, but the leaves, finely pubescent on both sides, 

 and the recurved peduncles show that it is not 11. sanguineus var legal am, but a form 

 referable to the type or to the variety ylutinosum.
