Mamillaria Sp. This grows <hx the rocks at Todos Santos at th< 

 north 'of 'the towd' and hangs down 2 feet, and is about 4 inches thick 

 and has~ the single hooked central spine. Saw no flowers or fruit 



Mamillaria Heyderi (?) This seems to grow on the mesa toward th< 

 sea from 'Todos Santos. The flowers are ^ to an inch long, greenish 

 white. ^Petals barely fringed. It seems to accord in every way with tli< 

 species'' growing near Colnett, north of San Quentin bay, and which I hac 

 growing in my garden: ' 



popetala Brandegee. . This, take it all in all, is the 



interesting shrub I saw. In the surprise it produced on seeing it first I j 



can recall nothing more' unique than the redbud, Cercis occidentalis, which - 



blazed at me out in the desert of the Grand Wash, Arizona, in 1894. It = 

 is the same brilliant red-purple. :The stems are 6-& feet high, and very 



and slender and tufted, growing in an inaccessible cliff, with the ^ 



open 



raceme 



foot or two long. I also got it later in similar situations at th<- Cota 

 ranch, but secured specimens at great risk, rd>ruary 21, 1928. No.
