“Symphoricarpos Austinae 
Erect shrub, the older stems clothed with a gray-brown shreddy 
epidermis, the younger slender, reddish, puberulent, leafy : leaves 
ovate to elliptical, obtuse or acute at apex, obtuse, acute or cuneate 
at base, 1-2 cm. long, 7~12 mm. wide, the margins entire, thickened ; 
pubescence similar to that of the stem ; petioles 2 mm. long: flowers 
in the axils of the upper leaves and in short cymose clusters or 
umbels, erect or nodding at the ends of the branchlets, with the 
pedicels horizontal or downwardly curved ; bracts half as long as 
the ovary, ovate, acute, pubescent and ciliate: calyx 1.5 mm. long, 
the divisions deltoid, obtuse, as wide as long and half the entire 
length of the calyx, glabrous or very sparsely pubescent, ciliate : 
corolla tubular-funnelform, 9 mm. long, 4-5 mm. across the top, 
about 2 mm. at base, the lobes suborbicular, 2.5 mm. long, almost 
as wide, obtuse, subcordate at base; tube densely hairy within 
from 2 mm. below the throat to within 2 mm. of the base ; an- 
thers narrowly oblong, 1.5 mm. long, a little shorter than the fila- 
ments, exserted from the throat: style glabrous, 3 mm. long, 
with capitate stigma: ovary glabrous, 3 mm. long,I.5 mm. broad 
at the middle, tapering to both ends: fruit immature, oblong-ellip- 
tical, 
This is distinguished from allied forms by the long ovary 
tapering at both ends, the stamens and the position of the hairs 
in the tube of the corolla. It was collected on hills in Modoc 
County, California, by Mrs. R. M. Austin, in 1897, also on hills 
west of Goose Lake. Mr. T. S. Brandegee collected the same at 
Milford, Lassen County, June 26, 1892. 
“ Symphoricarpos glabratus 
Shrub, divaricately branched, with brown shreddy bark on the 
older stems, the younger twigs slender and reddish, glabrous 
throughout : leaves orbicular, obtuse or cuneate at base, mucronate 
or obtuse at apex, irregularly crenate-dentate or entire, conspicu- 
ously veiny, about 1.5 cm. in diameter ; petioles yellow, broaden- 
ing at the connate base, about 2 mm. long, enclosing the conspicu- 
ous pointed buds: flowers solitary in the upper axils and in short 
spikes terminating the branchlets ; pedicels erect or curved, gener- 
ally longer that the bracts; these broad and connate, obtuse, 
minutely ciliate, about 1 mm. long and as broad: calyx crateri-
