11. S. saxatilis Greene. Devil's Sanicle. Stems several, branching and 

 widely spreading from the base, 4 to 7 inches long ; root globose or elongated but 

 often irregular, 1 to 1% inches long, % to 1 inch thick ; ultimate leaf -segments 

 broad, coarsely toothed ; flowering branches repeatedly dichotomous ; flowers straw- 

 color ; fruit tuberculate, the upper tubercles tipped with a reduced and slightly 

 curved thick-based bristle. 



Rocky summits, 3000 to 3800 feet : Mt. Hamilton Range ; Mt. Diablo. May. 



Field note. — This extremely restricted endemic has thus far been reported only from Mt. 

 Hamilton (betw. Aquarius Spr. and Murietta Spr., Helen Shar smith 923) and from the summits 

 of Mt. Diablo, namely, the west peak {Jepson 9207), saddle between east and west peaks 

 (Bowerman) and a point above Deer Flat {Bowerman) . The odor of the fresh herbage is very 

 intense and penetrating. The tubers are often globose or subglobose, or again irregular in shape 

 because of the character of the rock crevices in which they are found.
