NEW LOCALITIES FOR CALIFORNIA PLANTS. 
: BY T. S. BRANDEGEE. 
In a region of such great extent as the State of California, so 
much of it yet wild and unvisited by botanists, we may hardly 
_ yet hope to have anything approaching a complete enumeration of 
the plants to be found within its borders. The distribution of — 
the greater number of the species is, however, already approxi- 
mately known, though fresh facts as they appear show us 
continually that the range of very many of them is much 
greater than has been supposed. The present paper is intended 
as a record of not only new forms, but of a very considerable 
number of extensions in range, some of them so unexpected and 
so far from previous stations as to be hardly credible without the 
evidence of the collector’s specimens. 
The data hereinafter given are largely drawn from collections 
made by Mr. William Vortriede in the Santa Lucia Mountains, 
in 1892, by Mr. L. Jared at Goodwin and Carisa Plain in the 
southeastern part of San Luis Obispo County from April to June 
of the present year, and by Miss Alice Eastwood, also in this 
year, in the mountains west and south of Bakersfield and west 
and north of Alcalde, and from the Mission of San Antonio 
through the coast mountains north to the Sur River. The 
names of other collectors are given after the stations of the plants 
collected by them. Where no name appears the collection has — 
been in most cases made by the writer. 
Myosurus minimus \,.. grows in very stout luxuriant form, 
the long receptacle often branching, about the marsh between 
Mt. Eden and Alvarado. It is nearly as abundant, but much 
more slender along the railway between Suisun and Vanden. 
Delphinium nudicaule T. & G. Satita Lucia Mountains, 
Eastwood, Vortriede. 
Lsopyrum occidentale H. & A. Santa Lucia Mountains, Vor- 
triede; Coburn Mills, Tulare County. 
In the alpine region about Mt. Whitney there grows a yellow 
flowered Aquilegia, probably the one mentioned in the Botany 
of California as 4. czrulea. It is common about Mt. Kaweah 
and there its yellow color often shades into red upon the spurs.
