12 ERYTHEA. 



SHORT ARTICLES. 



Picea Breweriana. — A new locality for Brewer's Spruce is 

 reported by Mr. F. \V. Anderson on an unnamed but conspicuous 

 peak on the head-waters of Elk Creek, and about two or three miles 

 west of Marble Mountain, Siskiyou County. The trees occupied 

 about one square mile of the steep northern slope of the peak. —

Plants from Monterey County. — Mr. Arthur L. Bolton has 

 brought specimens of Libocedrus dectcrrens, the Incense Cedar, and 

 of Sequoia sempervirens, from the Sur River, Monterey County, 

 where he collected them last August. Mr. Bolton also brought 

 specimens of Diplacus glutinosus Nutt. and D. longiflorus Nutt. 

 from the same locality. Both species occurred commonly, and were 

 so clearly distinct that they appealed to the untrained eye as being 

 separate species. As far as I am aware, D. longiflorus has not pre- 

 viously been recorded from north of Santa Barbara. — J. Burtt 

 Davy. 



Correction. — In vol. IV, p. 185, of this journal, I mentioned 

 Lotus crassi/olius as one of the distinctive plants of the Redwood 

 Region. Its inclusion in that list was unintentional and not noted 

 until some weeks after the article had been in print. — W. C. 

 Blasdale.
