Ribes velutinum Greene is R. leptanthum var. brachyanthum 
Gray—the pubescent form. 
Ribes amictum & R. Victoris Greene are two of the forms 
which Mr. Greene in addition to A. Californicum H. & A. and 
R. subvestitum H. & A. would separate from R. Menziesiz 
though he thinks &. Victorzs possibly identical with R. occiden- 
tale H. &. A., ‘‘a shrub which cannot be identified by the very 
inadequate diagnosis given in the Botany of Beechey’s Voyage.” 
It seems not to have occurred to Mr. Greene that there are other 
means than these imperfect descriptions of verifying the species 
of Bentham & Hooker. 
Lythrum adsurgens Greene is is Hyssopifolia I,. 
Lythrum Sanfordi Greene appears to be identical with the 
Chilian Z. albécaulis Bert. 
Eucharidium Saxeanum Greene is £. Brewert Gray. It is 
rather common on the eastern side of Mount Hamilton. 
Zauschneria latifolia, tomentella, villosa & cana Greene are 
variations of one polymorphous species, the last and most diverse, 
Z. cana, is Z. Californica var. microphylla Gray. Mr. Greene says 
‘‘ there is every reason for thinking that the plant of the southern 
part of California, which Dr. Gray had named var. mzcrophylla 
is the typical Z. Californica.”* He had evidently never seen 
Presl’s plate which accords very much better with 2. véllosa 
Greene. 
Cnothera Hilgardi+ Greene is @, andina Nutt. 
-_ Gnothera Cedrosensist Greene is G2. cardiophylla Torr. 
CEnothera nitida Greene is a more glabrous form of @. chetr- 
anthifolia Hornem. It is not uncommon mixed with the ordi- 
nary form, near the coast from San Francisco southward. 
CEnothera crassiuscula Greene is G2. angelorum Wats. 
CEnothera hirtella Greene is Z. micrantha Hornem. 
Gnothera Jepsoni, arguia, & depressa Greene _are forms 
separated from CZ. béennis by Mr. Greene along with the re- 
-vived synonyms, @. grandiflora Ait. and @Z. Hookeri T. & G. 
_ QE. depressa was described from a cultivated specimen as ‘‘ pros-
