793. Viguiera laciniata Gray. Tliroo to four feet hiffli. In stony ravines 30 inilcs 

 back from Ili<^ ocean, and there common. 



826. Heliauthiis dealbatus Gray. Clearly an annual; quite common on the wand 

 lull near the lieach, growing thickly together. Thin is the nio.st southern 

 station of this species. Besides the station given in. 8yn. Flora, ie to ho 

 added Orcutt's Locovra (1886) plant; also at Ensenada and recently Santa 

 Margarita Island, by Mr. Brandogee. For this species Mr. Brandegee takes 

 n]i I'entham'sold specific uiMiu'ot' EvecUa nirea and writer //. tiircuH. 



822. Encelia frutescena Gray, Common on the hills ■10 miles back from the ocean ; 

 3 to 4 feet higli. 



828. Encelia Ventorum lirandegee. Proc. Cal. Acad., 2d. ser. ii, 175. 



795. Leptosyne parthenioides Gray. Var. dissecta, Wat. J'roc. Am. Ar.ad., xxiv, 

 ;Ui. ])r. rainier says this ]»lant ban a wide range on the. sandy jilains and 

 hills. Seen 40 miles back from the ot^eaii ; bloom at lirst whiter, bnt soon 

 becoming purplish. The margin of (In- akenes are incurved in age, with no 

 pappus, ninricnlato on the Itack. The only other collection of thi* species, 

 that we know of, is that of Palmer at Los Angeles Jiay. This jtlant ])r. 

 Watson took to be the Jcoma dissecta of Bcnth., but the rediscovery of that 

 species by Mr. Brandegee the ]>ast season shows that they are not the same. 

 Therefore Palmer's Los Angeles plant is the tyjte (tf L. paithenioiden var. 

 disitecta Watsov, and is not to bo confounded with L. dinecta Gray. 



787. Amblyopappus pusillus II. & A. Very abundant on hills. 



782. Briophyllum lanosum Gray. 



778. Chaenactis lacera Greene. Pitt., V, y<). This species was first collected by 

 Lieutenant Pond, at San Bartholome Bay, in March, 1!^8S'. Dr. Palmer col- 

 lected it about the s.-ime time in considerable (juantity. It grow.s in 1<)W 

 sandy i)laces near the ocean. Said to be a very Jleshy plant. The stems and 

 leaves purplish. "l?loom white" or turned by age to riwe. 



786. Dysodia anthemidifolia Benth. First collected by the Sulphur, also Dr. 

 Streets, recently by Lieutenant Pond, at San Bartholome liay, and Brandc^gee. 

 Very common on the sandy i)lains, near the sea bead), and extending for miles 

 back from the ocean. Dr. Palmer says it is a, showy plant for cultivation, 

 with lu-ight amber-colored flowers and an odor like the African Marigold. 



817. Malacothrix Californica D. C. Flowers "showy, yellowish whit*^" Outer 

 papims three to four persistent bristles. Sonwtimes with luauching scapes. 

 Lennnon also collected such a form in 1875. So far as we know this species 

 has not before been found out of California. Dr. Palmer reports it very com- 

 mon in the sand-hills about the bay. 



814. Philbertia linearis Gray. A small trailing plant about '.\ feet long, twining 

 about bushes or prostrate on the ground, often rooting at the nodes. The 

 older stems <levelop a very thick corky bark. The whole plant is glabrous, 

 except the inllorescence, which is very pubescent. The Mowers are *' canary 

 white." 



774. Gilia Jonesii Gray. Only a few plants seen and these all collected in the hilly 

 country, 4U miles from the ocean. This sj^ccies is only known fmm Jones's 

 specimen from the Needles, southeast California (1884). We have not yet 

 seen the typo, but the species certainly goes into the section JAnanlhus, and 

 there is nothing in Gray's meager description to keep it out of G. .Jonesii. 



780. Krynitzkia intermedia Gray. A very connuon plant 25 miles from the ocean. 



781. Krynitzkia maritima (Jreenc. The nutlets often of two kinds, both matur- 



ing. Tfie glabrous nutlets acute on the edge. The leaves oftisn broader at 

 tlie l)aRe. 



829. Rumex hymenosjepaliis Torr. Called "Verba Colorado." Much used as a 



medicine, esi)ecially in veiu^real di.scases, ilesh wounds, etc. The young tops 

 sometimes used as greens in Califninin.
