NEW LOCALITIES FOE WEST AMERICAN PLANTS. 



By Alice Eastwood. 



Artemisia Ludoviciajia, Nutt., has never been reported 

 from near San Francisco. There is a clump of it growing on 

 a hill-side near Lake Merced aloug a little- used, old road. 



Cleome integrifoUa, Torr. & Gray. This plant so 

 common in the Rocky Mountain Region is rare in California. 

 Mr. William Tevis of Bakersfield has sent specimens 

 collected in San Emidio Canon, Kern Co. 



Pentstemon barbatus, Nutt., var Torreyi, Gray. Mr. 

 Tevis sends this also from the same locality. It is widely 

 distributed through the Rocky Mountain Region but new to 

 California. 



Shepherdia argenta, Nutt. I found this growing in San 

 Emidio Canon in the fall of 1894. Dr. Fraiiceschi discovered it 

 the same year in the hills of Santa Barbara County. This 

 shrub so common in the Great Basin has not before, I 

 believe, been reported from California. 



Hoffmanseggia falcaria, Cav., var. stricta, E. M. Fisher, 

 Mr. Tevis discovered near Bakersfield in the summer of 

 1893. It is abundant there in one locality of limited area. 

 It ranges, "from Kansas southward through the United 

 States and Northern Mexico to Zacatecas and Lower 

 California." This is new to California. 



Gnaphalium Wrighfii, Gray. Mr. Frank W. Hubby has 

 sent this from the Ojai Valley, Ventura Co., Cal. This, I 

 believe, has not before been reported from California.
