SiDA Xanti Gray. Plants very nearly answering to the 

 description of this species in Proc. Am. Acad., XXII, 296, 

 were collected at Purisima. 



SiDA HEDERACEA Torr. —Abundant about San Ramon Lake 

 near San Gregorio. 



SiDA DIFFUSA HBK. — Comondu. 



SiDA TRAGiiEFOLiA Gray. — Comondu. 



Abutilon crispum Don. — Common throughout the south- 

 ern portion of tlie Peninsula and on Magdalena and Santa 

 Margarita Islands. 



Abutilon Californicum Benth. A shrubby species, some- 

 times six feet high. — Common on Magdalena and Santa 

 Margarita Islands, and abundant on the mainland. 



Abutilon Lemmoni Watson. Probably this species, 

 although not exactly agreeing with it. — Las Huevitas. 



Abutilon incanum Don. Woody, 2 feet high. — San Gre- 

 gorio. 



Abutilon Jacquini Don. Agreeing well enough with 

 specimens of this species, but much more viscous and with 

 larger leaves. — San Esteban. 



Abutilon Palmeri Gray. A form of this species growing 

 very luxuriantly on a portion of Santa Margarita Island 

 where all the vegetation was rank. Leaves very long, on 

 petioles very much longer than the pedicels: earliest flowers 

 solitary in the axils, the lower jointed above the middle, the 

 upper near the base. The axillary buds that are usually 

 dormant in this species are, in these specimens, developed 

 into long side branches, giving a very different appearance 

 to the inflorescence. Seeds as in type specimens with 

 which they were compared, appear under the lens to be 

 roughened with white curved bristles arising from reddish 

 papillae.
