58 Greene Some West American Red Cherries. 



between them, one sub-basal gland usually present but small, sometimes 2, 

 as often none ; calyx-tube campanulate, 10-striate, the deflexed oblong- 

 oval segments nearly equalling the tube ; fruit unknown. 



At 8,000 feet in the mountains of Fresno Co., Calif., Hall & Chandler, 

 June, 1900, distributed to U. S. Herb, under No. 385. Remarkable for 

 broad leaves like those of a plum tree. 



Cerasus rhamnoides sp. nov. 



Larger than the last, rather more pubescent, some downy hairiness ap 

 parent on young branches ; leaves oval to obovate-oblong, the larger 2i 

 inches long, apt to be acutish, crenulate, both mid vein and pinnate veins 

 obvious beneath ; corymbs sub-sessile, about 5-flowered ; drupes oval ; stone 

 elongate-ovoid, 3 lines long, acutish at apex, margin on the one side little 

 elevated, the whole surface smooth. 



Mud Springs, A mad or Co., Calif., Geo. Hansen, 1893, being his No. 

 1474, as in U. S. He^b. The only western true cherry known to me of 

 which the stones are smooth. They are also remarkably long and narrow. 

 The foliage is larger than in other species of the Sierra Nevada, and re 

 sembles that of Rhamnus Californica. 



Cerasus Kelloggiana sp. nov. 



Cerasus emarginata Greene, Flora Franciscana, 50, in part, not of Douglas ; 

 probably C. glandulosa Kell., Proc. Calif. Acad i, 59, 1855, not of Loiseleur, 

 1818. 



Shrub with slender red-brown branches glabrous, at least after the first 

 season ; leaves oval or obovate on fruiting branches, lanceolate on sterile 

 shoots, serrulate, 1 to 2 inches long, glabrous above, scarcely pubescent be 

 neath except along the veins, even here only sparingly so ; corymbs short, 

 subsessile, 4 or 5-flowered; calyx-tube campanulate, segments short, 

 obtuse; drupes small, round-ovoid, scarlet; stone ovoid, barely 3 lines 

 long, mucronately acute at apex, slightly one-sided by a narrow obtuse 

 margin, very distinctly rugose around the base, the wrinkles faint above, 

 though obviously anastomosing. 



Types : Mrs. Austin's specimens of 1896 in U. S. Herb., the flowering ones 

 from mountains east of Chico, California, collected in June ; the fruiting, 

 from near Quincy, in September, both from the middle Sierra Nevada. 

 Another sheet is from a little southward of these localities, namely at Emi 

 grant Gap, this by M. E. Jones, June 28, 1882. 



It was from this region that Dr. Kellogg had his C. glandulosa ; but that 

 it was this present species must remain doubtful. His description seems 

 to call for a shrub more pubescent, even as to the branches, than anything 

 now known from that part of California; though that may not be of so 

 much importance.
