By Gkoijok Vasry nii«l J. N. Rose. 



In volume xi of the Proceediiifijs of the U. S. National Museum we 

 jMiblished an account of tlie plants of San Quentin and a partial report 

 on tbosecollectednbout Lagoon Head. Tliepresentpaperwill begin with 

 the Lagoon Head plants, and will include a list of the species of Cedros, San 

 Eenito, and Guadalupe Islands. Mr. T. S. Brandegee, of the California 

 Academy of Scieuce, collected over some of the same ground vjsited by 

 Dr. Palmer, and has rediscovered several of the new species descril)e<l 

 in the former paper. And now several of the species recently described 

 by him are included in the present list. VV^e are indebted to a number 

 of botanists for assistance in the working up of these plants ; especially 

 to Dr. Sereno Watson, who has carefully looked over doubtful forms, 

 and to Mr. William Canby, who has generously loaned us many sj>eci- 

 mens. Other botanists who have aided us in identifying species will 

 be referre<l to in the proper i)lace. In this paper we give reference to 

 the first publication of tlie species, under the genus in which it is now 

 included, when not found in the Botany of California or Gray's Syn. 

 Flora.
