long. Akenes hoary, with appressed white hairs, linear-oblong, 
3 mm. long, less than 3 mm. broad. ; 
This is known as ‘‘camphor weed’’ from the strong odor of 
camphor which pervades the entire plant. It has the general 
appearance of C. rudis Greene, but the distinctly double pappus 
and noticeable rays preclude it from the Section Ammodia to 
which C. rvdis belongs. It belongs to the Section E-uchrysopsts, 
according to Gray’s classification in the Synoptical Flora, and 
comes nearest to C. echioides Benth. From this it differs in 
pubescence, inflorescence, smaller heads, and fewer rays. As I 
have not seen a specimen of the type of C. echioides, my judgment 
is based on the description in Botany of the Sulphur, p. 25. The. 
type locality of C. echioides is Bodegas, or, as it is now known, 
Bodega Bay. 
This species was discovered by the Hon. Horace Davis, near 
his country-place in the Santa Cruz Mountains, near Glenwood. 
It grows on the old sea beaches, peculiar to these upland hills, 
and blooms in July and August.’ It would be interesting to 
investigate the properties of this plant. The oil which it con- 
tains might be of use in the arts or medicinally. 
Helianthella Cannone. Stems several from a_ slender, 
woody, horizontal rootstock, erect, simple, monocephalous, about 
3 dm. high, ribbed, canescent, with spreading, soft, jointed bristles. 
Radical leaves oblong, lanceolate, or spatulate, 6-12 cm. long, 
2-4 cm. wide, tapering at base and decurrent on the broad, 
nerved petiole which is almost as long as the blade; apex obtuse, 
generally mucronate; texture thick, scabrous, with short pubes- 
cence and longer scattered, jointed appressed hairs; margin ciliate 
with bristle-like hairs; midvein broad, light green conspicuously 
striate; cauline leaves 2 or 3 and alternate or, rarely, 2 or 3 pairs 
and opposite, similar to the radical leaves but smaller, 1-2 dm. 
distant from the broad head, which is 8 cm. in diameter exclusive 
of the outer foliaceous bracts. Bracts of the involucre in 3 or 
4 series; inner ones lanceolate, acuminate, Striate, densely white 
ciliate on the margins near the base, outer surface more or less 
scabrous pubescent and hirsute; inner surface rugose and sca-
