as to the range and cites a collection made by Fletcher from near 

 Victoria, British Columbia. No specimens certainly referable to this 

 species have been seen by me beyond the limits assigned above. 



3. Sidalcea asprella Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad., vol. 1, p. 78. 1885. 



S. montana Congdon, Erythea, vol. 7, p. 183. 1900. 



Type locality. — "El Dorado County" and "near Camptonville, in 

 Yuba County." 



No specimens referable to this species have been seen by me from 

 the boreal region and it is here included only because Dr. H. M. Hall 

 (Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot., vol. 4, p. 200. 1912), after examination of 

 type material of ^S'. montana, determined the synonymy as above given. 

 I have had no opportunity for making the comparison myself. If the 

 identity of these species, as determined by Dr. Hall, shall be confirmed 

 when more abundant material is available, S. asprella will be found 

 to have a somewhat remarkable altitudinal range. Dr. Greene says 

 of his species, it grows "on bushy hillsides of the lower Sierra, just 

 below the habitat of Chamaehatia {C. foliolosa Benth.)," that is, in 

 the Upper Sonoran life-zone ; on the other hand, the type locality for 

 S. mmitana is given "In granite sand, in the high Sierras east of the 

 Minarets, at 11,000 ft."
