ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF SOUTHERN 



CALIFORNIA. 



BY S. B. PARISH. 



Since the completion of the Botany of the Geological Survey 

 a considerable number of plants have been detected which vi^ere 

 not then known to grow within the limits of the State, and the 

 range of others has been found to be much more extensive than 

 is indicated in that work. Probably these additions and exten- 

 sions have been more numerous in the southern counties than 

 elsewhere. Owing to the premature discontinuance of the 

 survey the botanical exploration of these counties was less 

 thorough than in the upper part of the State, which then 

 contained a far larger proportion of the total population than at 

 present. With a single notable exception the South was also 

 entirely without local botanists, Mr. Daniel Cleveland having 

 been for years the only resident cultivator of the science. It 

 was not until near the completion of the second volume that a 

 few records are made based on the collections made by Rev. J. C. 

 Nevin and Mr. W. G. Wright, and the explorations of Parry 

 and Lemmon. Since then the knowledge of the southern flora 

 has been greatly enlarged bj' others who have become residents 

 of the region, among whom may be mentioned Mr. W. S. 

 Lyon, Mr. C. R. Orcutt, Dr. H. E. Hasse, Dr. A. Davidson and 

 Prof. A. J. McClatchie. 



This botanical activity has resulted in the discovery of a 

 number of new species, and the extension to this region of others.
