growing along a rocky stream near Sierra San I^azaro in the 

 month of September. 



772. Saracha JaIvTomata Schlecht. ( ? ) From its char- 

 acters nearest to this species. — Near San Felipe, where it was 

 probably introduced. 



773. Stemodia PUSiiyLA Benth. Plants less hairy, corolla 

 larger and longer as compared with the calyx, than in Mazatlan 

 specimens. — Caiion de San Bernardo. 



774. Verbena prostrata R. Br. Spikes less dense and 

 plants less hirsute than specimens from California. Seen only in 

 San Bernardo Caiion, where it may have been introduced. 



775. Verbena polystachya HBK. Sierra San Francis- 

 quito, where it was doubtless introduced. 



776. Duranta Peumieri Jacq. — Both flowers examined 

 had five stamens: one all perfect and the other with the fifth 

 somewhat imperfect. Common at middle elevations on the west 

 side of the mountains, sometimes forming impenetrable thickets. 



462. CiTHAREXYLUM Berlandieri Rob. Very nearly the 

 same as Pringle's specimens from San Louis Potosi. — Found 

 only about the cultivated fields of Miraflores where it is not 

 uncommon. 



777. Hyptis SuaveoeEns Poit. — Growing very abundantly 

 about the ranch at La Mesa, where it was probably introduced.

 the western coast. 



779. Celtis reticulata Torr. — Small trees growing about 

 Sierra San Lazaro. 



517. Euphorbia heterophylla L- A form of this vari- 

 able species having the base of the floral leaves red is not uncom- 

 mon in the mountains. 



542. Euphorbia incerta Brandegee. This species was 

 collected on the sea shore at Mazatlan and as it is apparently a 

 maritime species of considerable range should have been found 

 by other collectors. 



780. Bernardia (?) FAscicuLATA Wats. Proc Am. Acad, 

 xviii, 153, 1883. It belongs however to the Phyllantheae.
