Rydberg, @ considers this distinct from 7’, elatum under the name of Therofon occidentale. 
A careful reexamination of the above material and much more leaves our previous con- 
clusion unchanged. The plant of California, 7. cineinnatum Rosendahl & Rydberg loc. 
cit., is feebly distinguishable by a larger inflorescence with the branches more or less 
racemiform and curved pedicels. This is said to range from Washington to California, but 
we have seen specimens only from California.
