(Nos. 017, 652) ; near Potla Springs, Sierra Nevada (No. 1724) ; and at Bcaverdam, 

 Nevada (No. 1936). 



Bigelovia mohavensis Greene in Gray, Syn. FI. i. pt. ii. 138 (1884). Type lo- 

 cality, " on the Mohave Desert." 



On the western slope of the Charleston Mountains (No. 298). Our specimen was 

 collected in winter and is therefore imperfect, hut it appears to belong here. 



Bigelovia paniculata Gray, Bot. Mex. Bound. 80 (1859), as Linosyris viscidiflora 

 paniculata; Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. viii. 644 (1873). Type locality, ''California." 



This species, when seen in the field, would never be confounded with B. teretifolia, 

 as it sometimes is in the herbarium. It grows about 2 meters high, in sandy and 

 gravelly washes of the open desert, or sometimes in the bottoms of canons, and has 

 foliage of a pale green color. B. teretifolia is of a darker green, attains a height of 

 0.5 to 1 meter, and grows on canon walla and on rocky slopes. 



B. paniculata was recorded about 8 kilometers north of Besting Springs (No. 280) ; 

 on both slopes of the divide north of Twelve Mile Spring, Resting Springs Valley; 

 between Cottonwood Springs, Nevada, and Vegas Ranch ; in the Vegas Wash,near its 

 mouth; and in Johnson and Surprise canons, Panamint Mountains. At no point 

 was it seen above the Lower Sonoran zone. 



Bigelovia teretifolia (Dur. & Hilg.) PI. Iteerm. 41 (1855), under Linosyris; Gray, 

 Proc. Amer. Acad. viii. 644 (1873). Type locality, "all over the mountains, round 

 the Tejon Valley," California. 



This species occurred at the upper water-hole, Lone Willow Spring (No. 163); on 

 the south slope of Browns Peak (No. 179); north slope of Lone Willow Peak; west 

 of Amargosa, in the Funeral Mountains; in Johnson, Surprise (596), and Mill Creek 

 canons, Panamint Mountains; on Gold Mountain, Nevada (No. 2004); and in Teha- 

 chapi Pass. This is a species growing in canons and rocky clefts, as noted above. 

 It is a well-defined desert plant and ceases abruptly with the desert flora. 



Bigelovia veneta (H. B. K.) Nov. Gen. <fc Sp. iv. 68 (1820), under Baccharis; 

 Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. viii. 638 (1873). Type locality, "in declivitate montium 

 soli occidental! obversoru.n prope Cuernavoca." This city is in the State of Morelos, 

 southern Mexico. 



Found at Resting Springs (No. 268) and northward in Resting Springs Valley; at 

 Winter's ranch, Pahrump Valley; at Ash Meadows; between Cottonwood Springs 

 and Vegas Ranch, Nevada; between Corn Creek and Towner's ranch, Vegas Valley; 

 and about a dry lake between Towner's and Ash Meadows. All these points are in 

 the Lower Sonoran zone. The habitat of the plant is moist, alkaline soil. 



Bigelovia viscidiflora (Hook.) Fl. Bor. Amer. ii. 24 (1834), under Crinitaria; DC. 

 Prodr. vii. 279. Type localities, "on the barren plains of the Columbia, from the 

 Great Falls to the mountains, and along the Salmon River, N. W. America." 



This plant has long passed under the new specific name douylasii, which Dr. Gray 

 proposed for it. For its occurrence in the Death Valley region, see B. graveolens. 



Solidago elongata Nutt. Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc. new ser. vii. 327 (1841). Type 

 locality, "Wappatoo Island and the plains of the Oregon." 



Along Willow Creek, Panamint Mountains (No. 958), and at Soda Springs, Sierra 

 Nevada (No. 1592). 



Solidago multiradiata scopulorum Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. xvii. 191 (1882). 

 Tpye locality, "higher Rocky Mountains to New Mexico, Utah, etc." 



This species is apparently always distinguishable from S. humilis by its not only 

 acute but also fimbriate-ciliate involucral bracts. No. 1610 is a dwarfed form only 

 8 cm. high, from the dry open soil about Whitney Meadows, while No. 1397 attains 

 a height of 50 cm. and grows in moist soil at a lower elevation. This larger form is
