longissimis laxis barbatis ; scapo filiformi (3 - 9-pollicari) cum capi- 

 tulis 2-4 laxe corymbosis glaberrimis ; involucro cylindraceo 10- 15- 

 floro eglanduloso biseriali, squamis exterioribus brevibus ; ligulis flavis ; 

 acbeniis fusiformibus apice leviter attenuato ; pappo copioso sordido. — 

 On Red Mountain, Humboldt Co., Bolander. Acbenia 2 lines long, 

 much longer than those of H. Scouleri, and fusiform, but less tapering 

 upwards than those of H. Gronovii. 



Campanula linNjEifolia : fere glaberrima; caulibus teneribus a 

 basi ad apicem usque aequaliter foliosis subunifloris ; foliis ovalibus 

 sessilibus (semipollicaribus) crenatis marginibus angulisque caulis se- 

 tulis minimis retrorsis ciliolatis ; pedunculo erecto flore stepius longiore ; 

 calycis lobis lato-lanceolatis acutis tubo subhemispha3rieo duplo longi- 

 oribus corolla campanulata vix ad medium 5-loba dimidio brevioribus ; 

 sinubus nudis ; stylo incluso. — In swamps at Noyo, Mendocino Co., 

 Bolander. A delicate little species. Corolla blue, half an inch long ; 

 the lobes ovate, about 2 lines long. 



Campanula prenanthoides, Durand, PI. Pratt. 1855 (evidently 

 G filiflora, Kellogg in Proceed. Acad. Calif., 1858, a far from appro- 

 priate name, and with a description which implies that the narrow 

 corolla is barely 5-toothed, whereas it is really 5-parted in our speci- 

 mens, the segments linear) : to this probably belong specimens gathered 

 by Mr. Bolander in the Red Woods at Searsville, and by Prof. Brewer 

 on the Upper Sacramento, &c. 



Arctostaphylos bicolor (Xylococcus bicolor, Nutt., Gomarosta- 

 phylis bicolor, Klotsch) : erecta ; foliis coriaceis oblongis acutis breviter 

 petiolatis integerrimis margine revolutis supra nitidis subtus cum race- 

 mis brevibus compactis rami^que junioribus incanis ; bracteis sepalisque 

 ovato-rotundis squamaceis ; corolla obovato-urceolata ; filamentis villo- 

 sis inferne vix dilatatis ; stigmate capitato crasso ; putamine 5-loculari 

 nunc abortu uniloculari. — Near San Diego, March, 1862, Dr. J. G. 

 Cooper, from whose specimens this character is taken. Nuttall found 

 it near Monterey, and describes the bony putamen as one-celled; but I 

 find five one-seeded cells. 



Arctostaphylos nummularia : erecta (1 -2-pedalis), ramosis- 

 sima; ramis cum petiolis brevissimis setoso-hirsutis ; foliis crebris coria- 

 ceis (semipollicaribus) ovali-rotundatis nunc subcordatis nitidis venulosis 

 muticis integerrimis raro mueronato-serrulatis ; racemis parvis fascicu- 

 latis glabris ; bracteis coriaceo-squamaceis pedicello dimidio brevioribus ; 

 sepalis ovato-rotundis ; corolla ovato-globosa intus filamentisque glaber-
