Tiburon Island, January 25, Dawson 1017, 



Northern Baja California; type from El Campo Aleman. This al- 

 most sterile leafless specimen is not certainly identifiable. It contains two 

 or three sordid flowers 4 to 5 mm long, regularly stipitate glandular on 

 bracts, pedicels, sepals, and petals. The filaments are barbate below and 

 with a few stipitate glands above the hairs midway along the filaments. 

 The ovary is 4 to 5 ovulate and bears 2 or 3 irregular rows of sessile 

 or subsessile glands. It is apparently a low shrub with slender numerous 

 purple to glaucous branches forming a broom-like crown.
