VOL. 1] Brodiea Multifiora. . IOI 
AZOLLA FILICOIDES Lam. La Honda, San Mateo Co., Califor- 
nia, 1890 (Brandegee), the plants so crowded as to stand upright. 
A larger and coarser plant than 4. Caroliniana, easily distinguished 
in fruit by the non-septate appendages to the massule. Baker* 
gives its habitat as “South America, mainly on the west side.” This 
adds another Chilian plant to the Californian flora. 
The lists for the various Pacific states may be thus summarized: 
California:} Jsoetes pygme@a, I. Bolandert, I. Suksdorfit; Marsilia 
vestita; Pilularia Americana; Azolla Caroliniana, A. filicotdes —7 
species. 
Oregon: Jsoetes Howellit, I.nuda, [. Nuttallii; Marstlia vestita — 
4 species. 
Washington: Jsoetes Bolanderi, I. Suksdorfiz, L. Nuttallii; Mar- 
silia vestita — 4 species. 
Arizona: MZarsilia vestita; Azolla Caroliniana — 2 species. © 
Mexico:{ Jsoetes Mexicana, I. Pringlet; Marsilia vestita, M. min- 
uta, M.macropoda, M. Mexicana, M. polycarpa; Pilularia Ameri- 
cana; Azolla Caroliniana; [Salvinia auriculata]— 10 species. 
British Columbia: J/soetes echinospora, [. Bolanderi, I. maritima, 
L Nuttallit; Marsilia vestita— 5 species. 
BRODIAZZAA MULTIFLORA. 
BY CARL PURDY. 
I have just read Mr. E. L. Greene’s treatise on ‘‘ Some Species 
Commonly Referred to Brodizea’’ published in the Bulletin of the 
California Academy of Sciences several years since. While there 
are many points involved in which I cannot agree with Mr. Greene, 
I will refer to but one at present, i. e., his ‘‘ Brodizea multiflora,” and 
his criticism of Sereno Watson’s description of that species. It is 
*Handbook of Fern Allies, 137. 
tThis list adds two species to those enumerated in the second volume of the Bot- 
any of California. 
+The last catalogue of Mexican Pteridophytes was that of Fournier in Mission Sci- 
entifique au Mexique—Recherches Botaniques: tre. Partie—Cryptogamie (1872). 
‘This list includes Sa/vinia, 1 species, Azo/la, 2 species, of which one is really a syn- 
onym of the other, and Marsilia, 3 species, of which one is the doubtful 47, picta Fee. 
Fournier added JZ. minuta to the Mexican flora in 1880. The above list adds five 
more species. All the species now reported have been found by recent collectors, 
except Salvinia auriculata (Tampico), and fruiting forms of Marsilia polycarpa 
(Mesachica).
