Coldenia nuttallii Hook. Kew Journ. Bot. iii. 296 (1851). Type locality, as taken 

 from Nuttall's plant, "Rocky Mountains." 

 Between Darwin and Keeler (No. 917). 



Coldenia plicata (Torr.) Bot. Mex. Bound. 136(1859), as Tiquilia brevi/oUa plicata. 

 Type locality "desert west of the Colorado, California." 



Near Saratoga Springs, Death Valley (No. 248), and near the Vegas AVash, Nevada 

 (No. 1897). This plant has passed currently under the name Coldenia palmeri, 



Heliotropium curassavicum L. Sp. PL i. 130 (1753). Type locality, "in AmericiB 

 calidioris maritiniis." 



This nearly cosmopolitan herb grow almost everywhere about alkaline pools, both 

 in the desert and in the Tulare Plains. Specimens were collected in Furnace Creek 

 Canon (No. 217) and near St. Thomas, Nevada (No. 1927). 



Pectocarya linearis (Ruiz & Pav.) FL Peruv. ii. 6 (1799), under Cynoglotsum; 

 DC. Prodr. x. 120 (1816). Type locality, "in Sancti Jaeobi Chileusis campis aridis." 



In the Vegas Wash, Nevada (No. 422), and at several points in the Panamint Moun- 

 tains (Nos. 488, 675, 721). I have seen no Chilian specimens, but I have followed Dr. 

 Gray in adopting that name for our plant. 



Pectocarya penicillata (Hook. *fc Arn.) Bot. Beech. 371 (1840-41),under Cynoglot- 

 sum; A. DC. Prodr. x. 120 (1816). Type locality Caliibrniau.

Pectocarya setosa Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad, xii.81 (1876). Type locality, "S, E. 

 California, on the desert plains of the Upper Mohave River." 



The plant was seen only in Surprise (No. 642), Mill Creek (No. 800), and Willow 

 Creek canons, Panamint Mountains, between Keeler and Crystal Spring, and on the 

 divide between Kernville and Havilah (No. 1055). 



Lappula diffusa (Lehni.) Bug. ii. 23 (1830), under Echinospernum; Greene, 

 Pittonia, ii. 182 (1892). Type locality not given. The original specimens were col- 

 lected by Douglas, probably in California. 



In the Sierra Nevada (Nos. 1396, 1484), and in the White Mountains (No. 1811). 

 No. 1396 only has fruit. In the other specimens the corollas are not so broad as they 

 have been described. 



Allocarya californica (Fisch. & Mey.) Ind. Sem. Petrop. ii. 42 (1835), under 

 Myosotis; Greene, Pittonia, i. 20 (1887). Typo locality, "in Nova California circa 

 coloniam Ross[ieam]." 



Whitney Meadows, Sierra Nevada (No. 1620). These specimens are from an altitude 

 unusually high for the species, and they vary in habit from the common form of lower 

 elevations in being of small size, depressed, and with short, procumbent branches. 

 Specimens from an altitude of 3,000 meters in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado are 

 also small. 



Plagiobothrys tenellus (Hook.) Kew Journ. Bot. iii. 295 (1851), under Myosotis — 

 Nutt. MS. ; Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. xx. 283 (1885). Type locality, "sunny slopes of 

 the mountains along the valley of Cceur d'Aleine River," Idaho. 



Near Havilah (No. 1085). Hooker's original mention of this plant can barely con- 

 stitute publication. . 



Plagiobothrys torreyi Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. x. 58 (1875), under Eritrichmm; 

 Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. xx. 284 (1885). Type locality, " Sierra Nevada, California; 

 in or near the Yosemite;" and " Sierra Valley." 



This species has not been reported since it was first described. Specimens were 

 collected near Whitney Meadows, Sierra Nevada (No. 1716).
