398 Flora of the Cape Region. [ZOE 
Watts on the hills west of Bakersfield, and by the writer near 
the same time and in the same general region, April-June, 1893. 
The affinities of this plant are with Asteroidez, of which it 
has the style-tips and involucre with much the general habit of 
the desert species of Aplopappus, but it differs from any of the 
genera in its complicate-chaffy receptacle, and its pappus. The 
western rim of the San Joaquin Valley yet little explored may 
be expected to still yield many novelties. 
Lepipium JarEpi. Annual, branching, 1-2 dm. high, some- 
what glaucous, upper part of stem and inflorescence pubescent, 
with spreading hairs: leaves lanceolate, entire, or toothed: flow- 
ering branches becoming elongated, often half the length of the 
plant: pedicels terete, slender, spreading, in fruit, 1 em. long, 
and somewhat recurved; flowers bright yellow: sepals 2 mm. 
long: petals a third longer, with oval or obovate blade and nar- 
row claw: stamens 6, nearly equal: fruit ovate, glabrous, reticu- 
late, 3-4 mm. wide and hardly as long, acute or barely 
emarginate, at summit, not winged; style 14 mm. long; coty- 
ledons incumbent. 
Collected by Mr. L. Jared near Goodwin, San Luis Obispo 
County, April-May, 1893; and near Riverdale, Fresno County, 
about the same time by Mr. Alvah Eaton. 
ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF THE CAPE REGION 
OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. II. 
BY T. S. BRANDEGEE. 
The following collection was made during the months of 
September and October in the western part of the mountains of 
the Cape Region. 
The particular localities explored were either previously 
unexplored or had been visited at a different time of the year. 
The rainy season of the region is in the months of July, August, 
and September, but little rain fell about San José del Cabo, and 
consequently there were comparatively small collections made in 
its vicinity; and the same conditions prevailed over the region 
March 12, 1894.
