The Santa Cruz Island pines have recently been reviewed by Howell 

 (Leafl.West. Bot. 3 :l-7. 1941 ), who recognized only P. remorata Mason 

 in varying forms. Of the authors of California floras, Jepson and McMinn 

 & Maino attribute P. radiata to Santa Cruz Island, while Abrams and 

 Munz do not, excepting the doubtful status of P. radiata binnata 

 (Engelm.) Lemmon. Hence the Elmore collection was considered criti- 

 cally. The 3-needled leaf fascicles and the light brown, slightly assj^me- 

 tric, open cone specimens appear to belong definitely to P. radiata. 

 Regarding his Santa Cruz Island pine collection, Mr. Elmore has re- 

 cently written, "I remember well collecting the pine specimens, but as 

 the trees were in a regular grove and near a fence line, I remember 

 thinking at the time that they were probably exotics, having been planted 

 there." (Letter dated February 2, 1948). 



PiNUS REMORATA Mason, IMadrono 2:8-10. 1930. 



Santa Cruz Island, Prisoners Harbor, August 2, Elmore 290.
