498 Eastwoop: New Species oF WESTERN PLANTS 
base tapering to short connate petioles, margins thickened, entire 
or with a few obtuse teeth near the apex, strongly veined, the 
lower surface somewhat paler than the upper, 2—3 cm. long, 5-12 
mm. wide: flowers in the axils of the upper leaves, with ribbed 
pedicels about as long as the bracts, bent so that the flower is 
horizontal or pendent: bracts at base of ovary ovate-acuminate, 
hairy, from one half to almost as long as the ovary: calyx pur- 
plish or glaucous, 2 mm. long, with the deltoid divisions half as 
long, obtuse, edged with white, minutely ciliate : corolla white or 
rose-colored, tubular-funnelform, about 1 cm. long, about 5 mm. 
wide at the tube, hairy within from the throat to the glandular 
lower part which is 2 mm. from the base: stamens with rose- 
colored, narrowly oblong, versatile anthers, on filaments half their 
length, inserted in the throat of the corolla: pistil not extending 
to the stamens, with thick glabrous style, 4 mm. long, tipped by 
a greenish black stigma: ovary oblong-elliptical in outline, glau- 
cous, 3 mm. long, not conspicuously narrowed at the two ends. 
This distinctly marked species is related to S. rotundifolius, 
under which it may have perhaps been included, but with the 
original description it does not agree. It was collected by Pro- 
fessor P, B. Kennedy of the University of Nevada, June 13, 1902, 
in Little Lakes Cafion, Western Stampede, Elko County, Nevada, 
being no. 503 of his collection. 
« Symphoricarpos parvifolius 
A low, intricately branched shrub, with shreddy bark, the 
young twigs filiform, reddish, clothed with fine spreading pubes- 
cence : leaves thin and veiny, rhomboidal to elliptical, glaucous and 
with a fine spreading pubescence, acute, tapering at base toa short 
petiole, entire, 5-10 mm. long, 3~5 mm. wide ; petioles broad and 
hairy : flowers in the upper axils on straight or curved pedicels, 
I mm. long: bracts at base of ovary pubescent, ovate-acuminate, 
connate: calyx crateriform, with glaucous, deltoid, acute divisions 
as long as the tube, glabrous, ciliate: corolla rose-colored, tubu- 
lar-funnelform, 6 mm. long, tapering gradually from the top, 5 ™- 
across, to the base about 1 mm.; the tube hairy within from the 
base of the stamens to within 1 mm. of the base of the tube: st@ 
mens inserted in the throat, with the filaments shorter than the 
exserted anthers: style glabrous, 2 mm. long, with capitate stigma: 
ovary 2 mm. long, contracted at each end, glabrous. 
This was collected on rocky slopes near Hockett Meadows, 
Little Kern River, Tulare County, California, June, 1896, by i 
A. Purpus, being no, 1792 of his collection. It differs from allied
