which Mr. Greene described the leaves only. The making of species in 

 difficult genera on such imperfect material can hardly be too strongly de- 

 precated. , 



\Syrmathim dendroidenm and S. patens Greene; the first a stout erect, the 



secoi'd a lower and more pubescent form of this polymorphous species. 



\8yrmafhtm niveum Greene, Bull. Cal. Acad, ii, US, is exactly this species. 

 The writer found abundant plants which were mature. Syrmaflum ami- 

 thopus Greene is S, argophylla of Palmer's Guadalupe collection. The 

 ovules are both developed instead of one aborting as in the ordinary form. 

 It occurs on Cataliua and San Clemente Islands. 



$Mr. Greene in Pitt, i, 33, states that it is near his A. anemophllus of San 

 Quintin and identities the latter species with his Phaca vestita Beuth. 

 Bot. Sulph. but retains the n^me anemophilns, there being an ** Old World 

 Astragalus lusittus.'' In Pitt, i, 102, he gives a new imm^ Astragalus Mag- 

 dalena^ to Beatham's Phaca candldissima having discovered that there had 

 been one of that name earlier described from Asia. In Pitt, ii, 24, he ac- 

 knowledges that A. Mlguelemis is identical with his earlier A, anemophilns, 



and says ''Very likely /^Aaca caudhllsuma will prove to be but another 

 synonym of the speciei." Not wishing to add anything to this confusion 

 the name given to this island plant is retained in the list.
