York. While it would be ill advised to propose a revival of C. 
Scabrior on the evidence at command, attention may well be drawn 
to the very probable distinctness of the two plants. 
Two Californian Saxifrages. 
SAXIFRAGA FALLAX, 
Perennial, fibrous-rooted, propagating by abundant subter- 
ranean short rhizomatous offsets; stem scapiform, 8-12 inches 
high, loosely cymose-paniculate at summit, the whole minutely 
and sparsely glandular-hispidulous, but with no villous hairs; 
leaves thin, ovate or oval, subcordate, or truncate at base, saliently 
toothed or only repand; calyx very deeply cleft, the segments re- 
flexed; petals white, obovate-oblong, obtuse, emarginate; _fila- 
ments very short; anthers green; mature carpels divergent almost 
from the base. - 
A northeast Californian and subalpine ally of the widely dis- 
tributed S. Califernica, differing from that in its short subterranean 
offsets, its emarginate petals and almost completely divergent 
carpels. I have it only from Lassen’s. Peak, where it was col- 
lected by Mrs. Austin long since, and from above Donner Lake, 
where I obtained it last summer. 
SAXIFRAGA APRICA. .S. umbellulata Greene, Eryth. 1: 222. The 
name first assigned to this small, but common and well marked 
Species of sunny exposures near the crest of the Sierra, must yield 
to the much earlier S. wmbellulata of Hook. f. & Thoms.
