of Bishop Creek. To the original description made from a 

 fruiting specimen the following note may aid in identification. 



"Sepals ovate oblong one-eighth inch long; petals spatii- 

 late. one-sixteenth inch wide, expanded to one-eighth at apex, 

 one-fourth inch long, white or light pinkish." 



Lepidium perfoliatum L. — First discovered at Hollywood 

 in 1910, found last year by Mr. G. L. ^^loxley at Annandale. 



Alisma plantago L. — Discovered growing abundantly near 

 Dominguez Station by Geo. L. Moxeley. 



Aphanisma blitoides L. — Abundant on bluffs at Pt. Firmin 

 and Redondo. Reported in the local catalogue but omitted in 

 Prof, jepson's "Flora of California." 



Styrax californica Lam. — Mountains near Glendale (Miss 

 Bashford). 



Nemacladus ramosissimus var. montanus Greene — This 

 plant named by Greene was discovered 30 or 40 years ago in 

 the Sierra ^Madre Mts. and I believe it has not since been col- 

 lected. This season I found a few plants at Camp Bonita on 

 the San Gabriel River. It is unlike N. ramosissimus in that 

 its flowers are one-half the size and its petals are pink instead 

 of white. The basal leaves are characteristic. In the Synop- 

 tical Flora it is given as a variety but it deserves specific rank. 



Sherardia arvensis. L. — Not infrequent, casual in lawns. 



Sisymbrium al tissimum. L. — A European immigrant and 

 ballast weed in the eastern states. I first observed a solitary 

 plant of this species in Hollywood in 1910. Next season one 

 was found in Laurel Canyon and the season following at Sierra 

 Madre. This season it is not infrequent along roadsides in 

 the San Fernando Yallev and at Newhall.
