Eastwoop: New SpEciEs OF WESTERN PLANTS 495 
This was first collected by E. O. Wooton, July 9, 1902, in the 
Grand Cafion of the Colorado, being no. 1102 of his collection ; 
this specimen is in fruit. The flowers were collected at the same 
place, on the Bright Angel Trail, by Dr. C. Hart Merriam, the 
middle of May, 1903. These specimens are both in the Herbarium 
of the California Academy of Sciences. 
“ Convolvulus saxicola 
Low, trailing, glabrous throughout: stems, peduncle, and 
petioles striate: leaves veiny, deltoid-sagittate with the apex 
rounded and mucronate, basal lobes overlapping, rarely with a 
broad sinus and the lobes separated, undulate, about 3 cm. long 
and as broad at base ; petioles slender, 2-4 cm. long, surpassing 
the rather stout 1-flowered peduncles: bracts variable, sagittate, 
from very small and sessile to foliaceous, petioled and surpassing 
the bud, generally close to the flower: calyx with the outer sepals 
half as long as the inner, about equally broad, obtuse, truncate or 
emarginate, occasionally mucronate, sometimes almost membra- 
nous: corolla pale rose-colored with the angles darker: stigmas 
slightly surpassing the anthers: ovary with a hard dome-shaped 
top, tipped with a short stout spine, veiny, purplish where it joins 
the thin, green lower half: immature seeds black, irregularly 
angled, minutely papillose. 
This grows on the rocky summits of the more elevated parts 
of Bodega Point, Sonoma County, California, and was collected by 
the author in April and on July 4, 1goo. 
It is near C. polymorphus Greene (Pitt. 3: 331) and might be 
included in the aggregate of forms under C. /uteolus Gray.

broad, margined, the lower 1 cm. long or more, the upper leaves 
Sessile: branchlets terminating in a simple raceme ora 3-rayed
