Flora of South Fork of Kings River. 29 



Uraba sp. This is another species also found at East Lake, 

 but collected without the fruit as it was too early in the season. 

 This has white flowers and pods (immature) clothed with stellate 

 pubescence. The caudex is branched at base ; leaves in a tuft, 

 oblanceolate ; those on the stem, 2-3, serrate. This may be a form 

 oi D. incana L., or is perhaps undescribed. 



Draba Breweri Watson. Stems many, from a tap root, tufted 

 at base, hoary throughout with dense stellate pubescence. 

 Leaves oblanceolate, narrowed at base ; stem leaves 2-4, sessile, 

 lanceolate. Racemes densely flowered, petals persistent white ; 

 sepals stellate-pubescent ; pods often twisted, stellate- pubescent ; 

 stigma sessile or nearly so. This is found only above timber line. 

 It is a few inches high. Collected on Kearsarge Pass and Har- 

 risons Pass. 



Draba Lemmoni Watson. Stems only an inch or two high, 

 densely tufted on the branched caudex from a tap root, forming 

 mats. Leaves thickish, obovate or oblanceolate, y&-}2 in- long, 

 ciliate and hispid with stellate hairs. Flowers in corymbs, 

 lengthening to racemes, terminating slender stems which are 

 leafless except perhaps at base. This also is found only above 

 timber line. It was collected on Harrisons Pass and on the trail 

 to University Peak. 



Draba eurycarpa Qray. Low, forming dense mats an inch, 

 or so high, hoary with dense, stellate pubescence ; very leafy on 

 the short caudex. Flowers few or solitary on short, thread-like 

 stems. Sepals purple, edged with white, clothed with white 

 stellate pubescence. Petals white, with slender claws which are 

 as long as the sepals. Pods dark red or blackish, oblong-ovate as 

 long as the stems, % in. or more, smooth, but tipped with a short, 

 pubescent style. The hoary pubescence of the foliage contrasts 

 strongly with the dark, smooth, conspicuous pods. Found only 

 above timber line on Harrisons Pass. 



Barbarea sp. This may be a form of B. vulgaris, but the 

 specimens are too young. Leaves mostly near the base, stems 

 less than a foot high, smooth. Flowers yellow, corymbose. 

 Pods an inch long, tipped by the style, somewhat compressed 

 between the seeds. This grew under a melting snowbank on the 

 trail to Harrisons Pass. 



Sisymbrium incisum Engelm. var. Annual, a foot or two 

 high, branching, stellate with a rather sparse pubescence ; some- 

 what glandular on the inflorescence. Leaves compound, the 

 divisions once or twice lobed with round, obtuse lobes. Flowers
