136 Flora of Guadalupe Island. [ZOE 
Perityle Californica Benth. Quite plentiful near the landing 
along the beach in the bed and on the banks of the cafion; in 
flower beginning of January. Not seen anywhere else. (46.) 
Perityle incana Gray. By far the most abundant of all the 
shrubs still living on the island and the most likely to survive 
under the unfavorable circumstances, as it seems quite at home 
on the more precipitous cliffs, and young plants and seedlings are 
abundant in the crevices of the rocks. A few straggling flowers 
appeared as early as the middle of December. (7.) 
Matricaria discoidea DC. Plentiful near the springs, on wet 
ground, which it covers with a dense and tufted carpet; larger 
specimens were collected at the spring west of the cabins, where 
they were already blooming at Christmas. (30.) 
Artemisia Californica Less. Basaltic cliff east of the cabins in 
considerable number, also a mile or so to the north. (11.) 
Senecio Palmeri Gray. Very conspicuous and much whiter 
even than Perityle incana; perhaps three dozen specimens seen 
on the eastern cliff above mentioned. (10.) 
Microserts linearifolia? Gray. (56.) 
Sonchus oleraceus 1,, Very common in the bed and on the 
banks of the cafion near the landing. ) 
Dodecatheon Meadia I,. ‘Robust, large-leaved specimens. 
Most abundant only between the trail to the cabins and the cliff; 
the finest on the very ridge. Goat-hunters, short of tobacco and 
attracted by the leaves, have used them as a substitute. They 
are said to have a most pleasant flavor. (31.) 
Gilia Nevinii Gray. Cafion near the landing and very com- 
mon among rocks over the whole island. Not liked by the 
goats. (57, 59.) 
Nemophila racemosa Nutt. Already in flower early in Decem- 
ber on the northwestern part, under the palms. It grows plen- 
tifully among rocks all over the island. ‘The goats appear not to 
like it: (32.) 
LEllisia chrysanthemifolia Nutt. (56 bis.) 
Phacelia phyllomanica Gray. A most elegant shrub with 
finely cut foliage, dark green above and whitish below; a con-
