Cardiospermum Palmeri Vasey & Rose. Proc. Nat. Mus. XIII. 147. A climbing 

 plant not much seen. One plant only, found in bloom on the bank of a ravine. 

 A part of the type. No. 68. 



Cardiospermum tortuosum Benth. ? About 4 feet high, pubernlent becoming 

 glabrate and thorny ; thorns «5 to 12 lines long, 2 to ii forked at tip. Flowers 

 few, white. Perhaps this species, but more glabrous and thorny than Mr. 

 Bentham's form ; it answers better Xantns's No. 19 referred as "Cardiospermum 1 

 sp. nov." by Dr. Gray. No. 2. 



LEGUMINOSiE. 



Coursetia glandulosa Gray. Proc. Amer. Acad. V. 156. The specimen of Xantus 

 (No. 25) upon which this species was founded was merely in flower and it was 

 doubtfully referred to this genns. Our plant has smaller leaves than the type 

 and is much like larger-leaved forms of C. microphylla Gray, which perhaps 

 will be referred to this species. A small tree, 15 feet high, with loose growing 

 branches. "Bloom, lower part light yellow, upper white." Found in low 

 places near a dry creek. No. 38. 



Dalea chrysorhiza Gray. Proc. Anjer. Acad. V, 15ti. The type was first collected 

 by Xantus (No. 29) at Cape St. Lucas; not collected since until last season, by 

 T. S. Brandegee, at Cardon Gramle. It is a trailing plant on sandy bottoms. 

 Flowers "mauve-colored." No. 71. 



Dalea maritima Brandegee ined. Very common on sandy beach near the ocean. 

 No. 79. 



Dalea Emoryi Gray. The plants grow on sandy beaches in masses covering very 

 large spaces. The stems are procumbent and with interlacing branches hide 

 the ground. They have a white appearance and at a distance look like dry 

 hay. Occasionally a glabrous plant is found growing with others, a fact also 

 noted by Mr. Brandegee No. 3. 



Cracca Edwardsii Gray. Found growing in shade of bushes. " Bloom, cream-col- 

 ored ; on the upper part red striped, turns reddiah by age." No. 51.
