88 New Species of California Plants. [ZOE 
Peucedanum Jaredi. ‘Tomentose throughout, tap-root 
woody, long and vertical. Caudex very short, underground, 
with several equa!ly short divisions, sheathed with the dilated 
petioles. Leaves bipinnately dissected, main divisions 4 to'6, 
ultimate divisions crowded with minute obtuse lobes; leaves on 
young plants, without flowers, 2 dm. long, the unsheathed part 
of the petiole about as long as the lowest internode of the rhachis; 
leaves on flowering plants not more than 1o cm. long and much 
smaller. Peduncles stout, ribbed, reddish, about as long as the 
leaves when in flower but elongating in fruit to more than twice 
or thrice their length, from 5 cm. to 2 dm. Umbel with unequal 
Trays, 3 to 5 cm. long, becoming glabrate, generally with 1 or 2 
ovate-accuminate bracts, 2 to 10 mm. long, with white membra- 
nous and tomentose margins (bracts rarely foliaceous). Involucel 
of one palmately 3 to 5-cleft unilateral bractlet, the different 
bractlets united, or all separate, tomentose and membranously 
margined; pedicels 5-10 mm. long. Calyx divisions green 
and almost glabrous with white-membranous margins, minute, 
deltoid. Petals green, fading yellowish, strongly circinate, mar- 
gins densely white-tomentose. Stamens yellow, the exserted 
filaments 1.5 mm. long, anthers broadly elliptical, emarginate at 
apex, cordate at base. Carpels almost orbicular, 6 mm. wide, 7 
mm. long, cordate at base; wings glabrate about as broad as the 
tomentose body; oil tubes on the commissural surfacé 3 or 4, on 
the dorsal 2 or 3 between the ribs. 
This beautiful Peucedanum was collected near Estrella, San 
Luis Obispo County, by Mr. L. Jared, in whose honor it gives me 
great pleasure to name it. The fruit is quite flat owing to the 
thin ribs, the ovaries are densely tomentose but become less so 
with age. The most noticeable character is to be found in the 
flowers which are green, but appear white from the dense 
tomentum bordering the petals. 
Navarretia ocellata. Annual, with several stems spread- 
ing from the root, clothed with short branchlets, cinereous tomen- 
tose, reddish. Leaves withering early, twice pinnatifid with 
filiform spinulose divisions extending to the base of the flattened 
rhachis, glabrate near the apex, tomentose at the base, 15-20.
