same neighborhood, in May, 1896, Davy 2331. According to 

 Davy in Jepson's Flora of Western Middle California this grass 

 is "very common throughout the state," and Hitchcock, in 

 Jepson's Flora of California, notes it as "common." These 

 statements are certainly erroneous so far as they relate to the 

 southern counties, in which the onlv other collection known 

 to me is Hall's 1196, at Warner's Ranch, May, 1899. But 

 from the latitude of Stockton to the Oregon border, it is rep- 

 resented in herbaria by many collections, and in places is 

 very abundant. 

 \/ Eriogonum angulosum Benth. var. variabile (Heller) 

 Parish, n. comb. E. variegatum Heller, Muhlenb. 2:24. 1905. 

 The type specimens, collected near Mojave railway station 

 (Heller 7756), are small and young. Others collected subse- 

 quently by Mr. Heller, and distributed under this name are his 

 7732 from Sunset, 7747 from near Oil City, and 7796 from Mc- 

 Kittrick. They are all more mature, and make it evident that 

 the characters relied upon are at best of no more than varietal 

 significance. 

 •^ Eriogonum marifolium Torr. & Gray 



Mount Wilson, June, 1916, George B. Grant. So far as 

 reported this is the southernmost station for this species. 



Eriogonum panduratum Watson 



Palm Springs, Colorado desert, April, 1896, George B. 

 Grant 6717. In the Botany of California (2:480), Watson 

 states that the type material of this species was collected by 

 J. G. Lemmon, "the locality uncertain," j^resumably in Cali- 

 fornia, although the plant has been collected in Arizona. 

 Grant's plant agrees with the description, and comes from a 

 station at which Lemmon collected, but I have not seen the 



type. 



Chenopodium leptophyllum Nutt. 



Waterman Ranch. Barstow, Mojave desert. May, 1*)14, 

 Parish 9318. This is the second recorded collection of this 

 plant in the state, the previous one having been made long ago 

 by Nevin, at Fang, in Los Angeles county, but it is probably 

 commoner than might be hence inferred, since it is easily mis- 

 taken for C. album, and botanists are wont to give too little 

 attention to weeds. 



Atriplex semibaccata R. Br. 



Introduced more than ten years ago as a highly_ recom- 

 mended forage plant, this Saltbush was widely experimented 

 with bv farmers, but failed to meet expectations, and its culture 

 was soon abandoned. It has, however, become a well estab- 

 lished weed in many parts of southern California, where I have 

 collected it, or observed it, in Imperial Valley, San Bernardino,
