Flora of the Cape Region of Baja California. By T. S. BRANDE- 
GEE, Proc. Cal. Acad., ser. 2, iii, 108-182. This is a list of plants 
known to grow in that part of the Lower Californian peninsula 
south from La Paz and Todos Santos, and is based upon two col- 
lecting trips made into that part of the peninsula during the year 
1890. The region was botanically unknown excepting what knowl- 
edge had been gained from the collections of Xantus, Mr. Hinds 
of H. M. S. Sulphur, and Dr. Palmer, made near the coast at Cape 
St. Lucas and La Paz. No collection had previously been made of 
plants from the mountains and the interior. Nearly seven hundred 
species are enumerated, including some collected by Dr. Palmer at 
La Paz, and by Xantus at Cape St. Lucas, that were not found by 
Mr. Brandegee. The grasses were determined by Dr. George Vasey, 
the ferns by D. C. Eaton and the mosses by Prof. L. M. Under- 
wood. Many new species are described and others are accompanied 
by field or structural notes. FS HEY,
