the author to be a hybrid between Q. Engelmajini & Q. dumosa. 

 In this he may or may not be correct. There are large trees of 

 the same form near Kscondido, San Diego County. 



Qiiercus turbmata Greene is of course a form of 0. pungens 

 Liebm., itself considered by Dr. Engelmann only a variety of O. 

 undulata. The drawing represents either an extreme, unusual 

 form, or the proportion between the acorn and the cup is not 

 correctly shown. The specimens in the herbarium of the Cali- 

 fornia Academy of Sciences collected at the same time and place 

 by Mr. Dunn have longer cups and acorns one-fourth shorter. 



Querciis parvula Greene is Q. Wislizeni DC. 



Quercus Gilberti Greene founded inexcusably on a sterile 

 branch has been since investigated by a botanist resident in the 

 vicinity and found to be 0. Garryana Dougl. as is also of course 

 Q. Jacobi R. Br. which Mr. Greene would revive. 



Quercus dumosa var. polycarpa Greene was admitted by the 

 author to be only an abnormal form. 



In a previous notice'*^ of the West American Oaks it has 

 already been shown how in attempting to re-establish Quercus 

 vaccinifolia Kell. Mr. Greene falsified the record perhaps inad- 

 vertently, and described the shrub as "very leafy and its small 

 entire leaves, these and its young branches being wholly desti- 

 tute of the fulvous lepidote pubescence of Q. chrysolepis,^^'\ 

 though the original description]; and painting of Dr. Kellogg 

 were perfectly familiar to him. 



Allium dichlamydeum Greene is A. serratum Wats. Mr. 

 Greene failed to describe the bulb-coats for some reason, 

 though it could not have been for lack of material, as it grows 

 abundantly in San Francisco where he collected it. The reticu- 

 lation is much more exactly typical than that of the form 

 found in the interior. 



The two species of Muilla proposed by Mr. Greene M. trans- 

 montayia and I\I. coronata differ from I\I. maritima only in their
