metallic hue, shading from a deep vivid orange to a burnt carmine 
center.” 
On the southern exposure of South Peak at about 1600 ft.— 
quite plentiful. Most nearly allied to AZ. Lindleyz, but the corolla 
not nearly so large and the shape of the petals different; the 
straight capsule only half as broad. My specimens were in good 
flower and showed no trace of losing the dark glandular indument 
of the stems. It is a pecularity of the related Californian species 
that they are of that shining whiteness which gave J. albicaults 
its name. I have not much doubt that my plant is that of Kel- 
logg. His specimens were from ‘‘ mountains above Visalia.” In 
any event it seems strange that the species should have been so | 
long ignored in books on Californian botany. 
Galium Nuttall, Gray, Pl. Wright. 80. 
Cafions near Butte Pass. 
Galium asperrimum, Gray, Pi. Fendl. 60. 
Leaves of my specimens uniformly in whorls of five, upper 
oblanceolate, lower spatulate, all abruptly cuspidate: young fruit 
densely hispid. 
Valerianella congesta, Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 1094. 
Hillsides near South Peak. 
Aplopappus linearifolius, DC. Prodr. v. 349. 
Never before credited to any portion of California north of 
Mt. Diablo. At 1500 ft. on South Peak. | 
ERIGERON CALIFORNICUS. Near £&. divergens but perennial, 
branched from the base, ascending, 6-10 inches high, cinere- 
ously hirsutulous, leafy up to the base of the peduncles of the 
scattered heads ; radical leaves pinnately parted into five linear 
segments ; cauline narrowly oblanceolate, entire, acutish ; heads 
two or three lines high ; rays about 60-75, not very narrow, 
purplish; pappus of ray and disk alike, of conspicuous squa- 
mellz and very few (four or five) bristles. 
Though near £. divergens, this is clearly distinguishable | 
by its perennial habit, pinnate radical leaves, and fewer broader 
rays. On the very edge of the summit of South Peak.
