I can liiid very littlt dift'creiice between tliis s[jecinien and 

 one in the Herljarium of the So. Cal. Academy of Sciences, 

 collected by F. Grinnell in Bailey Canyon, San Gabriel Mts., 

 Sept., 1911. The latter specimen has somewhat smaller leaves, 

 which are considerably more fascicled, bnt otherwise I can see 

 no difference. Another specimen, also in the Academy's Herlj- 

 arinm, collected in Lanrel Can\on, l)y Mr. and Airs. Grtjut, la- 

 belled "Z. microp/iylla Cn-ay," shows onl_\- ab(_)ut the same differ- 

 ences as Grinnell's. I sIkjuKI consider all three Z. Calif oniica 

 Presl., as delimited by Dr. Greene. 



In the Herliarinm of the vSontliern California Acadenn- of 

 Sciences 1 find bnt seven sheets of Zaiiscluicria. two of which 

 are mentioned abovC: A third, collected at Sierra Madre, by 

 Miss Mohr, no date £;'iven, is evidently identical with those 

 jnst mentioned, on!}- having" slightl}' smaller leaves and flowers, 

 (Inc. probably, to its having grown in a dryer situation. 



A sheet of Davidson's Z. Arizuniica, to \\hich species refer- 

 ence has before been made, needs no furtlier mention. 

 ^ "Z. hilifolia. San Bernardino All.s., Cal. julv, 1911. ,AIiss 

 Mohr." 



Herbage soft hirsute with spreading hairs; leaves lanceo- 

 late, 15-30 mm. long, 5-8 mm. wide. irregularl\' denticulate; 

 flowers small, deep scarlet.

This is practically identical with the ])lant in Air. Parish's 

 herbarium, to which extended reference has been made above. 

 There are no flr)wers, but several ripe capsules.

riant evidently tall and robust; herbage almost entirely 

 glabrous; leaves narrowly lanceolate, thin and feather-veined, 

 15-40 mm. long, 3-0 mm. wide, minutely denticulate, fascicled in 

 the axils; calvx-tube 2? mm. long, slightly C(_)nstricted 10 mm. 

 above the bulbous base, thence funnelform ; ])etals about one-third 

 longer than the sejials ; stamens slightly and the style long ex- 

 serted ; cai)sule glandular, short-pedicellate. 



This plarit seems to l)e (luite distinct in foliage from any I 

 have examined. In floral characters it seems in no way dift'er- 

 ent from other forms of Z. latifolia Greene.

Mr. H. vS. Swarth, to whom the t_\-pe sheet of this s])ecies 

 belonged, is now connected with the Aluseum of A'ertebrate Zo- 

 ology at Berkeley, Cal., and has i:)laced this sheet in the Herba- 

 rium of the University of California. It will not, therefore, be
