484 Eastwoop: New SPECIES OF WESTERN PLANTS 
side, broadly ovate, mucronate, surpassing the pedicels: perianth 
white throughout or tinged or veined with rose-color, with all the 
divisions similar, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 5 mm. long, 2 mm. 
wide : stamens shorter than the divisions, the filaments narrow, flat, 
broadening towards the base and at the insertion extending the 
width of the division; anthers small, white, 0.5 mm. long: ovary 
without crests: seeds black, rough. 
This is common on the trail between Monterey and Pacific 
Grove, California, and was seen in but one locality. It has been 
considered a form of A. peninsulare Lemmon by Marcus E. Jones 
(Contr. to Western Bot. 10: 86. 1902). While I have not seen the 
type of A. peninsulare, I do not believe it to be the same, for the 
description is that of a plant entirely different and the range far re- 
moved geographically. It is named in honor of Mr. J. B. Hick- 
man, who sent me the first specimens some years ago. The type 
was collected by the author, April 15, 1g00. 
‘ Fritillaria Brandegei 
Bulb unknown: lower leaves wanting: stems apparently tall, 
stout, glabrous, obtusely ribbed : leaves in whorls of 5-9, lanceo- 
late, 7-9 cm. long, 1-2 cm. wide, entire, obtuse: internodes a 
little shorter than the leaves : flowers about 7, on recurved, rather 
thick pedicels, 2 cm. long: bracts foliaceous, erect, diminishing 
upwards, 2-5 cm. long: perianth purplish, campanulate with 
obtuse base; divisions 2 cm. long, 4 mm. wide, oblong-lanceo- 
late, becoming involute and spreading, somewhat revolute from 
the base, obtuse and somewhat hooded at apex and with a tuft of 
silky hairs: nectaries obscure: filaments spotted with purple, 2 
mm. broad, 6 mm. long, acuminate ; anthers sagittate, 3-4 ™™- 
long: ovary winged, truncate, 6 mm. long: style surpassing the 
stamens, I cm. long: stigma capitate, scarcely lobed. . 
This is named in honor of T. S. Brandegee, who collected it 
at Coburn’s Mills, Tulare County, California. It differs from all 
known species in the segments of the perianth, revolute from the 
base, and the broad filaments. The lobed stigma puts it into the 
group with F. pudica and F. pluriflora. 
‘Iris amabilis 
Rootstocks slender, sheathed with the bases of the leaves: 
stems simple, slender, erect, or, when tall, slightly geniculate, gia; 
brous, bright green: basal leaves short, chartaceous ; cauline
