ARISTOLOCHIACEiE.

 Type locality, "in montibus California;." 



Valley of "the Kaweah mountains (No. 1364). This is the same as Asarum hartwegi 

 of Watson 1 . 



PIPERACEiE. 



Anemopsis californica (Nntt.) Ann. Nat. Hist. i. 136 (1838), under Anemia;

 marshes by streams around Sta. Barbara and Sta. Diego in Upper California." 



This plant, yerba mansa, is so common that a detailed statement of its localities 

 need not be given. It occurs in moist alkaline soil throughout the region traversed, 

 in the desert usually confined to the Lower Sonoran zone. It was found once, at 

 Mountain Spring, Charleston Mountains, in the lower edge of the piiionbelt. West 

 of the Sierra Nevada the plant was equally abundant, and limited to ahout the same 

 altitude. At Hot Springs (No. 682), in Panamint Valley, the Indians were seen ono 

 day digging the plant. They collected about half a bushel of it, roots, stems, and 

 leaves, saying that they used it for medicine.

At St. George, Utah (No. 1596). Descriptions of this plant and Phoradendron fta- 

 veteens vUlosum may have been published earlier than the date cited in this report, 

 but it has been impossible to find such publication.

 take up for A. diraricatum the name A. gracile, which was published iu the same
