358 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM, 
Like some other shrubs of the region, it may produce flowers and fruit at a time when 
the plants are nearly or quite leafless. Specimens in the National Herbarium from 
Cedros Island were taken by A. W. Anthony, July-October, 1896, and March-June, 
1897. On the adjacent coast of the Peninsula it was collected at San Bartolomé Bay 
by Lieut, Charles F, Pond, U. 8. N., April 27, 1889, and by Anthony again at Santa 
Rosalia Bay, July-October, 1896. Specimens from the mountainous interior at San 
Pablo were referred to this species by Brandegee, although they appeared to differ 
insome respects.! We found this species in a few places along the sandy coast near 
San Andres. It grew 60 to 120 cm. high, and at the time of our visit (September 21) 
was entirely leafless but bearing fruit and handsome flowers. The latter are dark 
red and conspicuous, Specimens were taken. 
Zauschneria californica Presl. CALIFORNIA FUCHSIA. 
Noted in a number of places along the west side of the San Pedro Mirtir Moun- 
tains, The species is recorded by Brandegee from Santa Marfa, east of San Fernando. 
It ishere a shrubby plant 1.2 to 1.5 meters high growing on gravelly slopes bordering 
small valleys in overlapping portions of the Upper and Lower Sonoran zones. <A 
specimen in flower and fruit was taken at 1,020 meters altitude near Rancho San 
Antonio, August 1. 
ARALIACEAE. Ginseng Family. 
Aralia scopulorum T. S. Brandeg. 
A fruiting specimen was taken at Tinaja de Santana, 35 miles north of San Ignacio, 
October 4. The plant was a shrub 4.5 meters high, growing near a spring in the hills 
at 1,020 meters. Brandegee found the species common on the rocks of Comandti 
Canyon, where the type material, including flowers and young fruit, were collected 
in March. 
CORNACEAE. Dogwood Family. 
Garrya veatchii palmeri Eastw. QUININE BUSH. 
This was noted in a few places between 1,350 and 2,100 meters elevation, in the 
Upper Sonoran Zone, along the western slopes of the Sierra del Pinal and San Pedro 
MArtir mountains. It grows 1.5 to 2 meters high on dry hillsides where species of 
Adenostoma and Arctostaphylos are dominant shrubs. A fruiting specimen was taken 
at 2,100 meters near the Rancho Santo Tomas, in the San Pedro Martir Mountains, 
July 26. Since our specimens seem referable to palmert it seems probable that typ- 
ical G. veatchit may be confined to Cedros Island, where the type was collected by 
Veatch about 1858 or 1859. 
Garrya salicifolia Eastw. QUININE BUSH. 
A large Garrya, with willow-like leaves, inhabits the Sierra de la Laguna. It is 
one of a number of Upper Sonoran shrubs which are separated from their congeners - 
to the northward by the long desert section of the Peninsula. It was common in 
places near our camp at La Laguna, along with Heteromeles and other shrubs, growing 
to a height of 3.5 to 5.5 meters, A fruiting specimen was taken January 27. 
ERICACEAE. Heath Family. 
Arbutus .peninsularis Rose & Goldm? 
This madrofio, recently described, was listed by Brandegee in his Flora of the Cape 
Region as A, menziesii, the well-known madrofio of California, which probably ex-
