II2 Plants of Santa Catalina Island. [ ZOE 
nus. The tree is not abundant on Santa Catalina and may easily 
disappear. Mr. Harry Polley, who knows it well and is familiar 
with the whole island, says there are but four groves upon the larger 
and less than six upon the smaller part. Its nearest relative ( Vauque- 
linia) grows in Baja California, and if Lyonothamnus itself is ever 
found on the mainland it will probably be in the unexplored mount- 
ains of that region. 
GALIUM CATALINENSE Gray. Specimens of G. buxtfolium 
Greene have been compared with the original of this, and found to 
be the same. It is abundant and varies in size and pubescence. 
ARCTOSTAPHYLOS BICOLOR Gray, grows to be very large, some-_ 
times reaching a height of twelve feet. Its observed habitat on the 
mainland is from Encinitas in San Diego county well down into Baja 
California. 
ANTIRRHINUM SPECIOSUM Nutt. This plant and 4. junceum 
Benth., form, according to Dr. Gray, a section (Gaméelia) in the 
above genus. It is rather remarkable that each of them should 
have been taken as the type of a genus: the first being Gambelia 
speciosa Nutt., the second (first described as Maurandia juncea 
Benth. ), Saccudaria Veatchii Kell. In habit they are very dissim- 
ilar, but the flowers in form and color, as well as the fruit, are much 
alike. The corolla of 4. spectosum is shorter and broader, and 
the projecting palate (which nearly closes the throat in each) is 
smooth. The palate of 4. junceum is hairy, and a broad pubescent 
line extends from it to the base of the tube. In 4. speciosum this 
pubescent line begins only at the lower third of the tube. The ru- 
diment of the posterior stamen was present in all the flowers of 4. 
speciosum examined and all the mainland 4. junceum. The seeds 
are irregularly oblong, and covered with longitudinal rows of soft, 
unequal, considerabiy elongated papillz. 
MIMULUs GLUTINOsUs var. PUNICEUS Gray. Plants with salmon 
colored flowers are abundant, growing in company with the red- 
flowered ones. : 
SCROPHULARIA CALIFORNICA Cham., seems quite different from 
the well-known mainland form, on account of the development of 
long, spreading white hairs, especially abundant on the panicle, giv- 
ing it a really handsome appearance. Forms connecting it with the 
ordinary glabrous one are found both on the island and the main- 
land. !
