52 Trees of Southern California. [zoE 



City Creek. Reported by Sargent (loth Census ix, 194), from, 

 the San Jacinto Mountains, but this needs confirmation. 



Pseiidotsuga viacrocarpa, lycmmon, 3d Calif. For. Rep. 134; 

 W. Am. Coneb. 12; Sudworth, U. S. For. Rep. 1892, 330. Co- 

 ville, Death Val. Rep. 223. P.Douglasii, Carr. var ^nacrocarpa 

 Kngelm. Rather irregular tree 150 feet high, 4 feet in trunk- 

 diameter. Bears light crops of cones, the reported fecundity 

 perhaps exceptional. Throughout the San Bernardino Range 

 from the Sierra L,iebre east to Grayback Mountain, most abun- 

 dant on the south slope, where it is usually scattered on the 

 sides of canons, between 2500 and 5000 feet altitude, but on 

 Mount Wilson said to form "extensive forests" {McClatchie;'} 

 On the northern slope rare, and at higher altitudes; Gold Moun- 

 tain, 7000 feet altitude. Also on San Jacinto Mountain, and in 

 San Felipe caiion (type) between Banner and Julian. The 

 technical characters of the species are weak, but it may 

 perhaps be maintained for the sake of the difference in appear- 

 ance and character of wood between it and its northern relative. 



Abies concolor Parry, Am. Nat. ix, 304. Sudworth, Torr. 

 Bull. XX, 42; A.Lowiana I,emmon,W. Am. Coneb. 14. Stately 

 tree 150 feet high, 4 feet trunk-diameter. In caiions, on flats, or 

 on ridges, scattered or in small groups, throughout the conifer- 

 ous belt in the San Bernardino Range and the San Jacinto Moun- 

 tains, at from 4000 to 8000 feet altitude. 



Sequoia sempervirens, Endl. In the First Calif. For. Rep. 27, 

 reprinted in 2d U. S. For. Bull. 201, a small grove of redwood is 

 reported as growing in a remote part of the "Sierra Madre " 

 Mountains of Los Angeles County. Mr. Abbot Kinney informs 

 me that after a careful examination of the supposed location of the 

 grove he has proved this report to be unfounded. 



Libocedrus decurrens Torr. Handsome tree, 150 feet high, 

 trunk 5 feet in diameter. Usually in canons or on flats, scat- 

 tered, at from 4000 to 7000 feet altitude, throughout the San 

 Bernardino Range and the San Jacinto Mountains.
