120 Errors in Southern California Plants. [zoe 



Gray herbarium is from Santa Clara River, in Ventura County, 

 and there is no evidence that it extends further south. 



Pectis papposa Harv. & Gray; Gray, PI. Feudl. 62. 



Dr. Watson quotes "Rattlesnake Island, harbor of San Diego, 

 W. J. Fisher," as a station for this species, referring for authority 

 to Kellogg, Proc. Cal. Acad. 7: 162. 47 Dr. Kellogg's note at this 

 place is appended to his character of Tribulus Fisheti, a plant 

 from Agiabampo, below Guaymas, Mexico, and the Pectis 

 presumably came from some San Diego in that region. There is 

 no "Rattlesnake Island" in the harbor of the Calitornian San 

 Diego. Pectis papposa, however, has been collected at several 

 places in the south-western part of the Colorado Desert. 



Pectis punctata Jacq. Stirp. Am. t. 128. 



The Synoptical Flora credits this to southern California by an 

 evident typographical error for Lower California. There is a 

 specimen in the Gray herbarium from Cape San Lucas, but none 

 from the state of California. 



Artemisia Parishii Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 17: 220. 



The second station, "Cajon Pass," given in the original de- 

 scription is an error. The plant has been found, as yet, only at 

 Newhall. 



Cnicus Drtjmmondii Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 19:40. 



The writer recently noted the presence of this species at 

 Warner's Ranch, having mistaken for it specimens of C. Hallii 

 Gray. The variety acaulescens is common in the mountains of 

 southern California, but the species itself apparently does not 

 reach them.
