Flora of South Fork of Kings River. 87 



pappus tawny. Bubbs Creek, along the trail and at the junction 

 with Kings River. 



There is a variety of this, without rays and with smaller heads, 

 which was collected on Bubbs Creek trail. The stems of this are 

 quite leafy. 



Erigeron compositus Pursh, Low, forming mats a few 

 inches high, glandular and white hairy, the stems many from a 

 creeping root. Leaves chiefly radical, the small blades palmately 

 dissected at the ends of long and broad petioles, these varying to 

 more than an inch in length, very hairj' ; the divisions of the 

 blade obtuse, less than y% in. long, the entire blade about % in. 

 long and somewhat wider. Heads on sparingly leafy stems sur- 

 passing the radical leaves, 1-2 in. long ; bracts of the involucre 

 of the same length but in two rows, narrow, tipped with purple ; 

 rays almost thread-like, slightly surpassing the disk, pink or 

 white. This is an Alpine species and was collected only on 

 Harrisons Pass. 



Chrysopsis Breweri Gray. The specimen was collected by 

 Mr. T. S. Braudegee in General Grant Park, and is too young for 

 accurate determination. It may be a new species. Stems 1-2 ft. 

 high from a half- woody base, glandular and slightly hairy, 

 branching above and with several stems from the base. Leaves 

 ovate, obtuse, sessile, 1-2 in. long, thin, entire or with few teeth. 

 Heads small, at the ends of slender, leafy branchlets. Bracts of 

 the involucre in several rows, parchment-like, tapering to slender 

 points, ciliate on the margins ; rays none ; pappus abundant. 



Solidago multiradiata scopulorum Qray. Stems low, less 

 than a foot high, sparingly pubescent, leafy, terminated by a 

 close and short panicle of cymose heads. Basal leaves oblanceo- 

 late, tapering to margined petioles an inch or so long, entire or 

 slightly toothed, ciliate ; stem leaves ovate-lanceolate, sessile, Yz 

 inch or less long. Heads %~Y% in. in diameter ; bracts of the 

 involucre lanceolate, obtuse, nerved, ciliate; rays narrow, Y^ in. 

 long. Bubbs Creek. 



Rudbeckia Californica Gray. Stems stout, 3 ft. or more 

 high, with few leaves and terminated by large heads on naked 

 peduncles, 1-2 ft. long. Leaves at base ovate-lanceolate on 

 long petioles almost as long as the blades, together 6-9 in. long, 

 undulately toothed, wedge-shaped at base, obtuse or pointed at 

 apes, hairy with a fine, closely appressed white pubescence ; 

 stem-leaves similar but more pointed and with much shorter 

 petioles, the uppermost becoming linear. Bracts of the involucre
