the justice or generosity of publishing herbarium names. Many 
botanists write names in their herbaria as a reminder to study 
such specimens in the future as time admits, and it is not at all 
probable that Mr. Lemmon, who is much more careful in such 
matters than Mr. Greene, would when he camé to study the 
species have passed over the very accessible descriptions furnished 
by the Synoptical Flora. 
Convolvulus Binghamie Greene* is C. sepium 1, It is com- 
mon in the tule marshes of the lower Sacramento. 
Convolvulus macrostegtust Greene is C. occidentalis Gray. 
Lyctum Hasset Greene is L. Richit Gray. 
Antirrhinum Kelloggit Greenet is A. strictum Gray, not A. 
Kingit Watson, as referred in Supp. Syn. Fl. ii, 439. The 
author corrected his mistake. 
Collinsta stricta Greene is evidently C. tinctoria Hartw. 
Collinsia arvensis Greene is what is usually called C. spars?- 
flora F. & M. In some remarks on C. Franciscana in Zoe iii, 
369, it was shown to be unsafe to separate forms from the 
type until the type itself was more fully described. The prin- 
cipal character on which C. Franciscana rested was its more 
numerous seeds, assuming that the typical form had but few. 
C. stricta, however, at least a specimen from Michener & Bioletti, 
labeled ‘‘ Collinsia stricta Greene, No. 1662 a, South Los Guilli- 
cos, March 13, 1892,”’ has twelve ovules. 
Russellia retrorsa Greene is R. sarmentosa Jacq. 
Pentstemon arenarius Greene bears on the collector’s label 
the words, ‘‘I think it is a variety of the very variable Peméste- 
mon deustus. Prof. Gray.’’ 
Pentstemon leucanthus Greene is one of the narrow-leaved — 
forms of P. azureus Benth. 
_ Pentstemon Sonomensis & Davidsonii Greene are well-known 
forms of Pentstemon Menziesii Hook. The first has been for 
many years in the herbarium of the California Academy of Sci- 
ences, from Mt. St. Helena. Mr. Greene in describing it com- 
pared it with the sarmentose P. corymbosus. He attempts to
