 those species which normally have small flowers but it shows no evidence of any genetic connection 

 vpith any of them, whereas it intergrades completely through var. integrifolia with N. menziesii. 

 The author doubtless intended her own collection from San Diego to be the type and it is here 

 definitely indicated and accepted as such. The collection first cited under the description is, how- 

 ever, a collection from the Cantillas Mts., Lower California, Orciitt 1128, which, according to both 

 Brand and Chandler is N. pedunculata. Consequently, if this latter were taken as the type, the 

 binomial N. rotata would have to be considered sjnionymous with N. pedunculata. — R. F. Hoover) ;
