VOL. IV.] Wriiiiigs of Edzuard L. Greene. 89 



Ribes velutiniim Greene is R. leptanthzim var. brachyanthuvt 

 Gray — the pubescent form. 



Ribes amichun & R. Vidoris Greene are two of the forms 

 which Mr. Greene in addition to R. Californiciim H. & A. and 

 R. siibvestituni H. & A. would separate from R. Me7iziesii 

 though he thinks R. Vidoris possibly identical with R. ocdden- 

 tale H. &. A., "a shrub which cannot be identified by the very 

 inadequate diagnosis given in the Botany of Beechey's Voyage." 

 It seems not to have occurred to Mr. Greene that there are other 

 means than these imperfect descriptions of verifying the species 

 of Bentham & Hooker. 



Lythriun adsurgcns Greene is L. Hyssopifolia I^. 



Lythrum Sajifordi Greene appears to be identical with the 

 Chilian L. albicmilis Bert. 



Eiidiaridimn Saxeamim Greene is E. Breweri Gray. It is 

 rather common on the eastern side of Mount Hamilton. 



Zausduieria latifolia, tomentella , villosa & cana Greene are 

 variations of one polymorphous species, the last and most diverse, 

 Z. cana, is Z. Californica var. viicrophylla Gray. Mr. Greene says 

 " there is every reason for thinking that the plant of the southern 

 part of California, which Dr. Gray had named var. microphylla 

 is the typical Z. Californica.''''^ He had evidently never seen 

 Presl's plate which accords very much better with Z. villosa 

 Greene. 



CEnothcra Hilgardi\ Greene is ffi. andina Nutt. 



(Enothera Cedrose7isis\ Greene is CE. cardiophylla Torr. 



CEnothera nitida Greene is a more glabrous form of GL. cheir- 

 anihifolia Hornem. It is not uncommon mixed with the ordi- 

 nary form, near the coast from San Francisco southward. 



CEnothera crassiuscida Greene is CE. angeloruni Wats. 



GLnothera hirtella Greene is QL. niicrantha Hornem. 



CEyiothera fepsoJii, arguta, & depressa Greene are forms 

 separated from CE. biennis by Mr. Greene along with the re- 

 vived synonyms, CE. grandiflora Ait. and CE. Hookeri T. & G. 

 CE. depressa was described from a cultivated specimen as " pros-
