the author to be a hybrid between QO. Engelmanni & QO. dumosa. 
In this he may or may not be correct. There are large trees of 
the same form near Escondido, San Diego County. 
Quercus turbinata Greene is of course a form of QO. pungens 
Liebm., itself considered by Dr. Engelmann only a variety of Q. 
undulata. ‘The drawing represents either an extreme, unusual 
form, or the proportion between the acorn and the cup is not 
correctly shown. The specimens in the herbarium of the Cali- 
fornia Academy of Sciences collected at the same time and place 
by Mr. Dunn have longer cups and acorns one-fourth shorter. 
Quercus parvula Greene is QO. Wiaslizent DC. 
Quercus Gilbert? Greene founded inexcusably on a sterile 
branch has been since investigated by a botanist resident in the 
vicinity and found to be Q. Garryana Dougl. as is also of course 
Q. Jacobe R. Br. which Mr. Greene would revive. 
Quercus dumosa var. polycarpa Greene was admitted by the 
author to be only an abnormal form. 
In a previous notice* of the West American Oaks it has 
already been shown how ‘in attempting to re-establish Quercus 
vaccinifolia Kell. Mr. Greene falsified the record perhaps inad- 
vertently, and described the shrub as “‘ very leafy and its small 
entire leaves, these and its young branches being wholly desti- 
tute of the fulvous lepidote pubescence of Q. chrysolepi's,’’+ 
though the original descriptiont and painting of Dr. Kellogg 
were perfectly familiar to him. 
Allium dichlamydeum Greene is A. serratum Wats. Mt. 
Greene failed to describe. the bulb-coats for some reason, 
though it could not have been for lack of material, as it grows 
abundantly in San Francisco where he collected it. The reticu- 
lation is much more exactly typical than that of the form 
found in the interior. 
The two species of Muilla ‘proposed by Mr. Greene JZ. tvans- 
montana and MM. coronata differ from M. maritima only in their
