our Sierran form will afford another illustration of what seems to be 

 a general rule, that genera, ranging widely in the mountains of the 

 west, commonly show in the Sierra one or more peculiar forms.

 vol. 4, p. 227. 1912. 

 Caprwrea campanulata Greene, Pitt., vol. 5, p. 52. 1902. 



Type locality. — "At 7,500 feet (therefore subalpine) on the North 

 Fork of King's Eiver, California." Hall and Chandler 550. 



Range. — Sierra Nevada. 



Zone. — Canadian ? 



Specimen examined. — North Fork of King's River, Tulare County, 

 7,400 feet, Hall and Chandler 550. 



This collection shows a plant with some characters unlike those of 

 H. pumilus as described or presented in the specimens of that species 

 seen by me, but that it will be possible to maintain it as specifically 

 distinct appears questionable inasmuch as a plant found by G. D. 

 Butler (No. 1210) in the Siskiyou Mountains is clearly only a form 

 of H. pumilus, yet its divergent style-branches exhibit the chief dis- 

 tinguishing character of H. campanulatiis. 



2. NAMA 



1. Nama Lobbii Gray, Proc. Am. Acad., vol. 6, p. 37. 1862. 



Type locality. — Not given except as "California, Lobb, No. 108." 



Range. — Sierra Nevada to the mountains of northern California 

 (Mt. Shasta). 



Zone. — Transition and Canadian. 



Specimens examined. — Sardine Lake, Sierra County, Hall and 

 Babcoek 4490; Webber Lake, Lemmon; Soda Springs, 2,300 m., Jones 

 2496 ; Cisco, rocks above snowsheds. Miss H. Walker 1490. 



Greene referred this species to Eriodictyan,^'^^ but its real affinities 

 appear to be with Nama.^'^'^ The entire, revolute, white-woolly leaves 

 of this depressed half-shrub distinguish it from another species of 

 Nama {N. Rothrockii Gray, Bot. Calif., vol. 1, p. 621. 1876), found 

 in the southern Sierra and mountains of southern California, with 

 deeply-lobed or pimiatifid, viscid leaves and wholly herbaceous stems, 

 which in places rises to our borders or even above them in exception- 

 ally favorable situations.
