to be the dead stumps of thousands of its brethren, which must 

 have formed a thick and general underwood not only in the 

 larger cypress grove, but also in the smaller near the springs and 

 cabins. Later three or four more living plants were found in the 

 upper grove. (6.) 



Rhus laurina Nutt. Probably the same four plants seen by 

 Dr. Palmer, growing not far apart on the basaltic cliff east of 

 the cabins. Another specimen too high up to be surely 

 identified was seen on the right bank of the canon near the 

 landing. (9.) 



Liipinus niveus Wats. Apparently annual, a few seedlings 

 found in different localities, but chiefly on the flat ground next 

 to the large spring south of the cabins. (23.) 



Trifolium ampledens T. & G. Seen only in the canon near 

 the landing, but not in large numbers. (26.) 



Trifolhan Palmeri Wats. In the same locality, but much 

 more abundant. (27.) 



Hosackia argophylla Gray. Very few seedlings, observed 

 only on the beach north of the landing. (24.) 



Heuchera . Single specimen not in flower. 



Cotyledon . Only one small plant on a rock along 



the trail not far from the landing. 



Echinocystis Guadahipensis Naud. Seen only among rocks 

 on the right bank of the canon not far from the landing, but I 

 was assured that it grows all over the island. Young shoots 

 appeared about the middle of January. (47.) 



Opuntia prolifera Kngelm. Observed but not collected. 



Gal mm . Two species; plentiful in many places, but 



chiefly under the palms. Not collected. 



Filago Californica Nutt. Very plentiful. (25.) 



Diplostephium canum Gray. Only one plant seen, in such 

 an inaccessible position on the cliff of the lower circus near 

 the corral, that it was impossible to secure more than a few 

 scanty specimens. (41.) 



Eriophylhim . Woody, perennial, on a rock near the 



cabins. (61.)
