the justice or generosity of publishing herbarium names. Many- 

 botanists write names in their herbaria as a reminder to study 

 such specimens in the future as time admits, and it is not at all 

 probable that Mr. Lemmon, who is much more careful in such, 

 matters than Mr. Greene, would when he came to study the 

 species have passed over the very accessible descriptions furnished 

 by the Synoptical Flora. 



Conzfolviihis Bi7ighamicE Greene^- is C, scpium ly. It is com- 

 mon in the tule marshes of the lower Sacramento. 



Convolvulus macrostegiusr Greene is C. occidentalis Gray. 



Lycium Hassei Greene is L. Richii Gray. 



Antirrhinum Kelloggii Greenet is A. strictuui Gra5^ not A. 

 Kingii Watson, as referred in Supp. Syn. FI. ii, 439. The 

 author corrected his mistake. 



Colliusia stricta Greene is evidently C. tindoria Hartw. 



Collinsia arve?isis Greene is what is usually called C. sparsi- 

 fiora F. & M. In some remarks on C. Franciscana in Zoe iii, 

 369, it was shown to be unsafe to separate forms from the 

 type until the type itself was more fully described. The prin- 

 cipal character on which C Franciscana rested was its more 

 numerous seeds, assuming that the typical form had but few. 

 C. stricta, however, at least a specimen from Michener & Bioletti, 

 labeled " Collinsia stricta Greene, No. 1662 a. South L,os Guilli- 

 cos, March 13, 1892," has twelve ovules. 



Russcllia retrorsa Greene is R. sarmcntosa Jacq. 



Pentstenion arenarius Greene bears on the collector's label 

 the words, ' ' I think it is a variety of the very variable Pentste- 

 nion deustus. Prof. Gray." 



Pentstenion leucanthus Greene is one of the narrow-leaved 

 forms of/*, azure^is Benth. 



Pentstenion Sonometisis & Davidsonii Greene are well-known 

 forms of Pentstenion Menziesii Hook. The first has been for 

 many years in the herbarium of the California Academy of Sci- 

 ences, from Mt. St. Helena. Mr, Greene in describing it com- 

 pared it with the sarmentose P. corymbosus. He attempts to
