86 Writings of Edward L. Greene. [ZOE 
figure in Ic. Mex. Ined.* on which the species was founded, 
transfers the name S. malveflora (Mog. & Sesse) to what has been 
of late called .S. Neo-Mexicana Gray and takes up S. delphinifolia 
Nutt. for the common species of the coast of California. From 
his remarks he appears to think that the original S. malveflora 
was glabrous, whereas the drawing shows it to have a copious 
spreading pubescence. 
Erodium Californicum Greene was brought from Santa Cruz 
Island by Mr. Brandegee in 1888. It seems to be only a rank and 
vigorous Z£. macrophylluu Hook. & Arn. of which it has the 
glandular pubescence and exactly the fruit. 2. macrophyllum 
has neither the habit nor the distribution of a native. 
Ptelea crenulata Greene is P. angustifolia Benth. 
Ceanothus connivens Greene -is a hybrid of C. cuneatus & 
prostratus. 
Ceanothus rugosus Greene is a hybrid of C. velutinus & 
prostratus. 
Ceanothus vestitus Greene is one of the forms connecting too 
closely C. cuneatus and C. Greggit. 
Up to date Mr. Greene is guilty of eighteen ‘‘ new species”’ 
of Lupinus, including Z. adsurgens & L. sylvestris} Drew, for 
the naming of which he was responsible. Three species he has 
himself reduced—Z. Franciscanus Greene to L. versicolor Vindl., 
L. adsurgens to L. latifolius Agafdh. and L. sylvestris to L. 
albicaulis. Doug). 
Lupinus umbellatust Greene is L. micranthus Dougl. 
Lupinus capitatus Greene seems to be L. Szleri Wats. 
Lupinus pachylobus Greene is L. bicolor Lindl. 
Lupinus Pondit Greene is a form of L. Arizonicus Wats. 
Lupinus carnosulus Greene is L. manus Dougl. In the 
original diagnosis Mr. Greene describes it as ‘‘ with the habit of 
large states of L. nanus but very distinct, wanting the variegated 
or changeable petals and villous-edged keel of that species; the 
herbage fleshy as in ZL. afinds.’? An inspection of the type of 
L. carnosulus in the herbarium of the California Academy of

the library of the Gray Herbarium, the other in the library of Mr. Brandegee.
