ADDITIONS, 



24. PENTACH^TA, p. 120, after P. aurea, add: 



P. L^oni. Hirsute, at least the margins of the plane linear or spatulate-linear leaves, 4 to 7 

 inches high, with the sparing ascending branches leafy up to tlie head or sliort peduncle: 

 involucre Iiirsute ; its bracts linear-lanceolate aud of nearly equal length, green, with narrow 

 Gcarious margius: pappus-bristles 9 to 11 or commonly 12! — San Pedro, Los Angeles Co., 

 California, in clayey soil near Palos Verdes Mountain, W. S. Lyon. An anomalous species, 

 evidently allied to P. aurea, notwithstaudiug the involucre and the more numerous pappus- 

 bristles so repugnant to the generic name. 



27. CHRYSOPSIS, § Ammodia, p. 124, add: 



C. W^rightii. Pubescent witli fine soft hairs : bracts of the involucre all partly herbaceous, 

 and the inner nearly eijualling the flowei's : corollas with limb slightly hairy outside : stig- 

 matic portion of tlie style-brauches not much longer than broad, several times slrorter than 

 the subulate-linear appendage : outer pappus scantj^ and obscure ; inner extremel}' copious : 

 otherwise like C. Breiceri. — S. California, on the San Bernardino Mountains, at 11,500 feet, 

 W. C. Wright. 



82. FRANSERIA, p. 251, after F. deltoidea, add: 



F. COrdifolia. Cinereous-puberulent, woody at base, branching above into a narrow and 

 loose panicle : leaves all long-petioled, cordate, obscurely 3-5-lobed, crenately serrate, an 

 inch or two long, thin : fertile involucres granulose-pubcrulent, the few subulate spines 

 rather shorter than the small body. — Arizona, in the mountains near Tucson, Prlngle, Par- 

 ish. (Adj. Mex., Prinijlc.) 



137\ CROCKERIA, Greene, Nov. Gen. ined., next to Eatonella, p. 72, 

 323. (Dedicated by the discoverer to Charles Crocker, Esq., of San Francisco, 

 one of the most liberal and enlightened promoters of botanical investigation in 

 California and adjacent regions.) — Habit, involucre, flowers, and receptacle essen- 

 tially of Lasthenia § Hologymne. Akenes oval-obovate, very flat, the plane sides 

 nerveless, glabrous ; margins with a distinct filiform nerve, and veiy densely 

 ciliate with short and pyriform or clavate rather rigid more or less glandular 

 hairs ; apex truncate. Pappus none. 



C. chrysantha, Greene, in Bull. Calif. Acad. ined. A span or two high from a slender 

 annual root, nearly glabrous, not at all woolly : leaves all opposite, linear, entire : . heads a 

 quarter-inch high: involucre nearly hemispherical, shorter than the disk; the 12 to 14 ovate 

 bracts cupulate-connate to the middle : ray- and numerous disk-flowers golden yellow, and 

 quite like those of Lasthenia r/lalirata. To refer the plant to tliat genus seems impractica- 

 We. — Valley of the Sau Joaquin, California, in alkaline soil near Lake Tulare, April 15, 

 1884, E. L. Greene.
