the lateral angles sharply defined; scar circular, exactly basal, separated from the 

 body of nutlet by a constriction. 



Salt marshes and alkaline flats, 5 to 200 feet : western Alameda Co. south 

 through the Santa Clara Valley to northern San Benito Co. Apr. -May. 



Geog. note. — A rather narrow and for this genus a well-marked endemic, Allocarya glabra 

 has been only sparingly collected. The f ollomng stations are here noted : Mount Eden, K. Bran- 

 degee ; Alvarado, Jepson 21,215 ; Santa Clara, Michener 4' Bioletti; Los Gates (Contrib. U. S. Nat. 

 Herb. 22:95) ; Hollister, Hoover 3485. The calyx has marked peculiarities; sometimes the outer 

 lobes are united nearly to the summit.
