able odor; robust, the main stem 5 ft. high, the branches simple, 

 ascending-, the lower 1^ ft. long; the larger leaves 7 in. long by 

 2 in. wide; heads racemosely disposed on the branches, the 

 peduncles sometimes li in. long. (No. 2048.) 



Hulsea vestita callicarpha f^Vats.J Hall, comb. nov. H.

 nym. El Caparossa. 



Stems several, from an annual or biennial root, branching 

 above, 1^-3 ft. high, woolly below, viscid hirsute above; basal 

 leaves numerous, clothed wdth a dense tomentum, obovate, 

 spatulate; the rameal scattered, broadly oblong, 1-li in. long, 

 passing above into bracts of the much elongated peduncles: 

 involucre 5 lines high; rays yellow, the ligule 3 lines long; — 

 otherwise as in the species. 



Thomas Valley, San Jacinto Mt., California, at 4550 ft. alt., 

 May 26, 1899 (H. M. Hall, no. 1180.1, type.) The type is in 

 the Herbarium of the University of California. 



Not rare in sand washes, on open hillsides, and beneath 

 pines, on the south side, at 4400-9000 ft. alt., varying toward 

 typical H. vestita in the upper part of its range. We have 

 examined the following specimens from this region: July, 1880 

 (S. B. Parish, nos. 531 and 531a, the latter being a co-type of 

 the undescribed H. callicarpha Wats.) ; June, 1882 (S. B. Parish, 

 no. 531); July 5, 1895 (A. W. Anthony); May, 1901 (W. L. 

 Jepson, no. 1317); May, 1899, and May to Aug., 1901 (H. M. 

 Hall, nos. 1180.1, 1808, 2313, 2334, 2682). It has also been 

 collected on Cuyamaca Peak, July 7, 1894 (T. 8. Brandegee), 

 and on Palomar Mt., Aug. 1, 1898 (T. S. Brandegee). 



This variety is intermediate between H. vestita and H. Cali- 

 f arnica, differing from the former mainly in the less-enduring 

 root and in the taller, more branched and somewhat leafy stems, 

 wiiile from the latter it is distinguished by its smaller rameal 

 leaves, elongated peduncles and smaller heads, these bearing 

 shorter and less conspicuous rays. Nos. 2313 and 2334, of the 

 author's collecting from altitudes of about 9000 ft. approach 

 H. vestita in having the leaves much reduced on the scape-like 

 stems.
