the present knowledge of the genus it seems impossible to decide 

 upon. One is related to Ctiicus occidentalis and another to C. 

 Drummondii. All were collected on the trail up Bubbs Creek. 



Hieracium albiflorutn Hook. Stems simple except for the 

 panicled heads, 1-2 ft. high, smooth. Leaves chiefly radical, 

 forming a rosette at base of stem, oblanceolate to obovate, sessile, 

 2-3 in. long, clothed with long, brownish hairs ; stem leaves few, 

 oblong-lanceolate, acute, sessile. Heads y% in. high, with the 

 bracts of the involucre thin, hairy and glandular, about equaling 

 the pappus ; flowers white, with the rays 4-toothed ; the styles and 

 stamens conspicuously exserted ; pedicels slender and smooth, an 

 inch or less long. Converse Basin, under the trees. 



Hieracium horridum Fries. Low, a foot or so high, with 

 many stems from a tufted base, very leafy below the inflorescence, 

 woolly and glandular. Leaves oblanceolate, obtuse, tapering to a 

 broad petiole, 2-4 in. long, ^ in. wide, densely clothed with long, 

 tawny-white silky hairs, having the appearance of plush. Pani- 

 cle of the main stem branching from below the middle, ample 

 with numerous heads, )i in. long ; bracts of the involucre long, 

 pointed, clothed with few long hairs, with short, black hairs 

 appressed, and with hairs tipped with yellow glands, about equal- 

 ing the tawny pappus ; rays lobed at apex, yellow. Millwood 

 and Bubbs Creek. 



Crepis intermedia Gray. Stems several, from a woody root, 

 1-2 ft. high, more or less clothed with cottony wool, stout, hol- 

 low. Leaves broad with jagged lobes ; the upper ones narrow and 

 entire, 3-5 in. long, the broadest about 3 in. across the widest 

 part. Involucre j4 in. high, the bracts few, with membranous 

 margins about equaling the pappus ; flowers yellow, the raj-s X 

 in. long ; seeds J^ in. long, strongly ribbed. Bubbs Creek. 



Crepis acuminata Nutt. This is similar to the preceding, 

 but is generally taller and smoother ; the leaves are deeply pin- 

 nately divided once or twice into long, narrow, sickle-shaped 

 divisions ending in a long, slender point ; leaves at the root a foot 

 long, 4 in. wide including the petioles which are as long as the 

 blades. Heads much narrower, with the smoother involucre con- 

 sisting of only 5 bracts ; flowers fewer and smaller. This grew in 

 the same locality as the preceding, and both are to be found in 

 dry places. 



Agoseris retrorsa Greene. Leaves pinnately divided, with 

 reflexed linear lobes, the terminal lobe narrowly linear and 

 pointed, often half the entire length of the leaf, sometimes much
