140 LEAFLETS. 
terminal leaflet of deltoid-ovate cut, 14 inches long and as wide, 
incisely cleft into 3 segments all doubly crenate and obtuse ; lat- 
eral leaflets doubly crenate: inflorescence seemingly a panicle of 
alternate divaricate short spikes; bracts villous-tomentulose 
from base to summit but not ciliate: immature fruits densely 
wavy-granular and sparsely soft-bristly. 
This perplexing shrub—seeming to exhibit spikes arranged 
in a truly panicled general inflorescence as in Rhus or Styphonia— 
is known only from along Little Chico Creek, Butte Co., Calif., 
as collected by Mrs. Austin in 1883, and with it—at least from 
the same station—fragments of a very dissimilar species also 
new, but not to be characterized from the fragments at hand. 
I have seen S. anomala only in my own herbarium, where there 
are two full sheets. 
S. OREGANA. Twigs and branches rather densely soft-pubes- 
cent for two seasons: foliage sparsely so on both faces, but the 
veins beneath beset with long appressed pilose or setose hairs 
besides the short and downy indument; terminal leaflet 14 inches 
long, usually obovate-cuneiform, rarely broader above, lightly 
and doubly crenate: bracts of the spike altogether tomentose 
on the back, scarcely ciliolate; fruits granular, sparingly setose. 
Grant’s Pass, Oregon, 27 May, 1884, Thomas Howell, U. S. 
Herb.; with a second specimen from the same place, in leaf 
only, of a distinct species. 
S. GLOMERAM. Branches stout, straight, rigid, ash-gray, 
glabrous, the young growing twigs puberulent: foliage s ubcor- 
iaceous, deep green above, glaucescent beneath, obscurely and 
sparsely puberulent on both faces: terminal leaflet 14 inches 
long, rhomboidal in outline, deeply and rather sinuately 5-lobed, 
the lobes obtuse ; laterals usually 3-lobed: bracts pubescent at 
base, naked and rugulose on the back, the margin delicately 
ciliolate: fruit smallish, in compacted short glomerules forming 
along thyrsus at ends of branches ; epicarp granulate, very 
sparsely short-setose.
