88 Writings of Edward L. Greene. [ZOE 
the gland-stipular species, z. ¢., the glands when young are sub- 
ulate, the upper part breaking away later and leaving the more 
or less thickened base. 
Lotus humilis Greene is Hosackia maritima Nutt. and ZL. 
tomentellus Greene probably belongs to the same species. 
Hosackia mollis Greene is a form of 1. puberula Benth.— 
both too near 1. Wrightii Gray. 
Lotus hirtellus Greene is H. strigosa Nutt. 
Lotus sulphureus Greene is Hosackia Heermanni Dur. & 
Hilg. The species was described from the Tehachapi Range, and 
the ‘‘San Francisco sand hills’’ mentioned as a station is prob- 
ably an error. It is thoroughly confluent with WH. Nevadensis 
Greene and it will be sufficiently difficult to keep the form repre- 
sented by these three names from //. decumbens on the one hand 
and //. tomentosa on the other. In correction of his extremely 
loose nomenclature Mr. Greene will perhaps be glad to learn that 
there is a Lotus tomentosus Rhode, in Schrad. Neue Journ. 1809, 
p- 42; a Lotus macranthus, Lowe, Novit. Flor. Mad. 546; anda 
Lotus sulphureus Boiss., Tchihatch. As. Min. Bot. 1, t. 1. 
Cerasus Californica Greene is Prunus emarginata Dougl. 
The types of Mr. Greene’s two species of Rosa, 2. gratessima & 
R. Sonomensis, have not been seen by the writer, but judging by 
the published character, even without taking into consideration 
the author’s well-known capacity for finding characters which 
remain invisible to others, they cannot be maintained. 
Neillia capttata Greene is N. opulifolia B. & H. 
Saxifraga malvacea Greene is S. Parryi Gray. 
feuchera maxima Greene is H. pilosissima F. & M. 
Tellima nudicaulis Greene is Heuchera Williamsonit * Eaton. 
Ribes Mogollonicum + Greene is R. Wolftt Rothrock. 
_ Ribes Marshallii Greene is a large flowered R. ambiguum 
Wats. They are probably both forms of 2. Lobdi7 which though 
found in Lake County has been omitted from Flora Franciscana. 
Ribes quercetorum Greene seems hardly separable from 2. 
leptanthum.
