122 Vniversifij of California Pi(hlicafions. [botany 



Upper Onstatt Valley', Strawberry Valley, Mistake Canon 

 (8500 ft. alt.). (Nos. 2216, 2.117.) 



The occurrence of this Elder in Southern California renders 

 the identity of the Californian S. velufina with the Mexican variety 

 of S. Canadensis more probable than formerly.* 



Symphoricarpos Parishii Ixi/dh., Bull. Torr. Club xxvi. 045 



(1899). 



Frequent in Tahquitz and Round valleys in the upper part of 

 the Transition Zone and in the lower part of the Canadian, reach- 

 ing an altitude of 9500 ft. at the head of Round Valley. (No. 

 2485.) 



This has commonly passed for S. oreophilus Gray but is more 

 closely related to S. rotundifolius Gray, as pointed out by Dr. 

 Rydberg. The shrubs are often 3 or 4 ft. high with long spread- 

 ing branches which are not infrequently spread out over large 

 rocks; leaves always narrow at base but variable as to apex, both 

 acute and very obtuse leaves occurring on the same stem ; corolla- 

 lobes obtuse, half as long tube, transparent; tube fully as 

 pubescent within as iu *S\ rotundifolius.
