A. Hickmanni Eastwood ined is a low form of A. peninsu- 
lare. Have seen the type. 
A. crispum Greene is A. serratum. Have seen the type.

A. obtusum Lemmon occurs abundantly on the slopes of 
Casile Peak (Mt. Stanford) along with A. Austings. Like the 
Utah A. Diehlii this species has the ovary covered by thick, tri- 
angular, rather large, 2-lobed crests, set close around the style. 
These run down the ovary from one-third to its whole length. 
The leaves are 2-3’ wide, lunate in cross-section, not falcate, 
when dry are very thin. It propagates by fission. It is much 
like A. tribracteatum. The specimens of Lemmon’s type dis- 
tributed haye but one leaf. It seems to occur on the b inks of 
ths Columbia also (Howell). Itis the same as A. concinnum 
K. Brandegee ined. 
A. tribracteatum Torr. It is quite possible that this species 
is the sama as A. obtusum Lemmon and that Watson took his 
bulb coat markiags from the Utah species, A Diehlii, which he 
erroneously referred to it, for he certainly was in great doubt as 
to what his species was since he referred A. parvum to it also. 
In addition A. tribracteatum was collected in the region near 
Summit, Cal. where A. obtusum abounds, but the A. tribractea- 
tum -of Watson never seems to have been collected by anybody 
there or anywhere else, if his published markings belong to Tor- 
rey’s type.

34. This is too widely separated from A. tribracteatum to be 
placed under it as a variety. In addition th»re is great un- 
certainty as to what the species is. 
A. Palmeri has been collected by Brandegee in the Sierras 
at Kernville. 
Abronia alpina Brandegee. Aiter seeing the type the writer 
has no hesitancy in considering it distinct.
