Only a ibw iilants found and these on a level place. First described and 

 di8tril)iited as T. I'almtrl, but wince Mr. Watson has written that it is prob- 

 ably his "T. cfcrlitti described from miserable material. " 

 747. Isonieris arborea Nntt. Plants about 4 feet hijili. (No. ',i of Mr. Greene.) 

 Also collected by Lieutenant Pond this season. Mr, Greene considered that 

 this sjiecies belon<rs to Clcomv and calls it 0. isomeriH, Pitt, i, 200. 

 633. Fiankenia Palnieri Watson. Common plant near the sea-beach. (No. 5 ot 



Mr. Greene.) 

 713. Polycarpon depressum Nutt. Collected only by Nuttall and Lemnum, in 

 Boulhern Californiu, althonfj;h various thing's have been distributed as this 

 species, even Tilhm miiiimi and Achifronychia Cooperi. Found under pine 

 trees at the liighest point on the north eiul. (A-ltitude, 1,7G1 feet.) 

 699. SpliEEi-alcea* fulva Greene. Pitt, i, 201. Only three specimens found and these 



in (lower. Ci>llected by Dr. Streets in 187G. (^o. 6 of Mr. Greene.) 

 752. Ziziphus Parryi Torr. fuic Trelease. The following is Dr. Palmer's n..t.e. 

 "A very thorny shrub, 2 to ;} feet high, with numerous crooked branches, form- 

 ing a compact plant, good for a hedge. Tlie fruit when ripe may be yellow, 

 as that color was indicated in some of the fruit seen." In canons and 

 mountain sides apparently not collected before. 

 733. Rhamuus crocea Nutt. "The more acute leaved sharply toothed form," 

 Treleasoiu lit. An upright growing shrub (i to 8 feet high. In canons. 

 (Pr(>l)ably No. 7 of Mr. Greene.) 

 730. Rhu.^ Lentil Kell. Proc. Cal. Acad., ii, 10. A large shrub 5 to (5 feet high in 

 canons. "A profuse bloomer; crimson colored to white; fruit shiny, as if 

 iced over." Fruit a half inch long. (No. U of Mr. Greene.) Also collected 

 by Lieutenant I'ond this season. By Dr. Veatch, in 185i). 

 735. Rhus iiitegrifolia B. & II. Dr. Palmer says of this plant, "An irregular grow- 

 ing shrub, witli short body and stitf limbs." Much used by the fishermen 

 for fuel, for which it is very good. In canons. (No. 10 ()f Mr. Greene.) 

 682. Veatchia Cedroseusis Gray. Dr. Palmer's notes are as follows: Not fouml 

 in bloom or fruit. A dwarf tree Ct to (J feet high, dotted here and there over 

 the north end of the isLmd. Tlio wood is soft and spongy, shrinking wIumi 

 cut, leaving litth) but the bark. Mr. Braudegee has identified this plant with 

 th(* Scliinan aiscolur Benth. But. Sulph., p. 11, and has collected it from the 

 original station (Magdalena B;iy.) In Proc. Cal. Acad., 2d ser,, 2, 140, 

 he considers it a good Veatchia and taking up the oldest specific name, 

 ■ writes it Fcatthia discolor, lie also refers htivo Jitirscra pubcsceiis Watson. 

 (No. 8 of Mr. Greene.) 

 721. Lupiuus sp. This is the same as our GGtia (distributed as 708) of former paper. 

 The, plants are i.fteu smalltu-, the flowers larger (f) lines long), scattered or 

 Bonuiwhat vi^rticilate; the braets tardily deciiluons ; pods four to six seeded. 

 Found on hill sides and canons. A very showy plant " bloom purple upper 

 lobes yellow." As we noted before, our plant seems nearest L. Arizonica, but 

 it hardly answers for that and perhaps should be made distinct. 

 736. Hosackia maritinia Nutt. The llowers are only 2 linos long ; the pods few 

 seeiled. This is the same as theSau Queutiu mOa. Not before found on the 

 island. 

 698. Hosackia nudata (Greene). We have not seen Mr. Greene's type, and yet there 

 is little doubt but that this is bis Siirmatium. Our plant is larger, with many 

 slender weak branches; the leallets sometimes larger (15^ lines long), (»ften 

 obtus.», glabrate in age. Although many of the short peduncles bear but on*^ to 

 two llowers, yet it is not uncommon to find three, four, and sometinu-s five 

 llowers in the umbel. The species of Syrmatiitm form a strongly marked 



*Anot)ier of the Mabvicew, belonging to the island not reported by Mr. Greene or 

 found by Dr. Palmer, is Abulilon Ltimmoiii, collected by Dr. Streets in 1876.
