Several fragmentary specimens of other plants were collected, 
mostly in fruit, of which the genus is uncertain. From even 
these small collections of the much larger but still unknown flora 
of these islands is shown something of that insular variation 
noted by Drs. Robinson and Greenman in the plants of the 
Galapagos Islands, esdecially in regard to Euphorbia viminea.* 
Euphorbia Anthony, of San Benedicto, has a very closely related 
species, £. Clarionensts upon Clarion and Socorro and Jeucrium 
Townsendit of Clarion has an extremely near relative upon 
Socorro. 
AQUILEGIA EXIMIA. 
ALICE EASTWOOD. 
My attention has been recently called to this suppressed species 
of Aguilegia by the discovery, July first of this year, of many 
plants in one of the branches of San Anselmo Creek in Marin 
County. Several years ago I had noticed a single plant of the 
same species along the banks of Lagunitas Creek near the mouth 
of the Big Carson Creek. Mrs. Ella Gibbons Sharpe last year 
brought me a specimen which she had collected in the same local- 
ity and had noticed as conspicuously different from the species 
common everywhere in thickets and along shady banks (No.370). 
A study of all these specimens has convinced me that in this 
Aquilegia we have a species quite distinct from any to which it is 
allied or under which it may have been placed. Its apparent 
rarity is probably the reason why it has been obscure for so long 
a time and why it has been considered a form of or identical with 
A. truncata F. & M.
