88 Writings of Edivard L. Greene. [zoe 



the gland-stipular species, i. e., the glands when young are sub- 

 ulate, the upper part breaking away later and leaving the more 

 or less thickened base. 



Lotus humilis Greene is Hosackia maritima Nutt. and L. 

 tomenteUus Greene probably belongs to the same species. 



Hosackia mollis Greene is a form of H, piiherula Benth. — 

 both too near H. Wrightii Gray. 



Lotus hirtellus Greene is H. strigosa Nutt. 



Lotus sulpiniretis Greene is Hosackia Heervianni Dur. & 

 Hilg. The species was described from the Tehachapi Range, and 

 the "San Francisco sand hills" mentioned as a station is prob- 

 ably an error. It is thoroughly confluent with H. Nevadensis 

 Greene and it will be sufficiently difficult to keep the form repre- 

 sented by these three names from H. dccumbcns on the one hand 

 and H. tome7itosa on the other. In correction of his extremely 

 loose nomenclature Mr. Greene will perhaps be glad to learn that 

 there is a Lotus tomentosus Rhode, in Schrad. Neue Journ. 1809, 

 p. 42; a Lotus luacrajit/nis, Lowe, Novit. Flor. Mad. 546; and a 

 Lotus sulphuretis Boiss., Tchihatch. As. Min. Bot. i, t. i. 



Cerasus Califormca Greene is Primus emarginata Dougl. 



The types of Mr. Greene's two species of Rosa, R. gratissima & 

 R. Sonomensis, have not been seen by the writer, but judging by 

 the published character, even without taking into consideration 

 the author's well-known capacity for finding characters which 

 remain invisible to others, they cannot be maintained. 



Neillia capitaia Greene is A^. opiilifolia B. & H. 



Saxifraga inalvacea Greene is S. Parryi Gray. 



Heuchera maxima Greene is H. pilosissima F. & M. 



Tellima nudicaulis Greene is Heuchera Williamsonii * Eaton. 



Ribes Mogollonicum \ Greene is R. Wolfii Rothrock. 



Ribes Marshallii Greene is a large flowered R. ambigiium 

 Wats. They are probably both forms of R. Lobbii which though 

 found in Lake County has been omitted from Flora Franciscana. 



Ribes quercetorum Greene seems hardly separable from R, 

 ieptanthuni.
