Leptotaenia anomala was gathered bv me in 1882 at San 

 Luis Obispo. It is Hkely that this will be found abundantly in 

 the herbaria under Peucedanum caruifolium, as it differs only 

 in the fruit. This is my No. 3600 referred to Peucedanum 

 caruifolium by Coulter and Rose, Rev. Umb. 68. 

 Cusickia N. Gen. 



This is what I suppose Coulter and Rose call Leptotaenia 

 minor ; at least it fits their description and was distributed by 

 Cusick as such, probably having been identified bv them. It 

 is not, however, a Leptotaenia. The fruit is about 5 lines long 

 and 2>4 lines wide, oblong and with rounded ends, not emar- 

 ginate, smooth, face evenly convex, without ribs, but with an 

 almost uniform corky layer running from the sharp edge over 

 the face to the other edge throughout and about Ys line thick; 

 in this layer between the two skins are four large holes cor- 

 responding to the intervals and representing oil tubes, but 

 empty, though dark-colored from the outside and looking like 

 large and single oil tubes, the spaces between them look like 

 very thick ribs, but are spongy like the rest of the layer ; near 

 the edge this layer is a trifle thicker, the spongy part or wing 

 on the edge starting from the last hole is lenticular in cross 

 section and 5^ line wide; the commissural side is concave, 

 without central rib, but with two wings about half way from 

 the center to the side (one on each side( which are appressed 

 . outwardly about ^i line high very thin next the seed and then 

 spong>'-enlarged above, these wings have a filiform oil tube on 

 the thin part on the outside; the commissural face of the seed 



broad and obscure ones, or at least dark areas, next the wing of 



none; pedic 



long, very , . _ 



inch thick, inflated; leaves fleshy, smooth, large, tcrnate and 



then tripinnate, the final segments lanceolate, acute, about 1 



line long; petioles elongated and very stout, striate, those of 



the short stems not longer than the broad leaf-sheaths (1 foot 



long) ; roots thick and tuberous, branching below, large. This
