ERIOGONUM KENNEDYI Porter 
A study of the type of E. Kennedyi Porter (Wats. Proc. 
Am. Acad. 12: 263. 1877), contained in the Gray Herbarium, 
has shown that it differs in the shape of its calyx-lobes from those 
plants commonly identified as E. Kennedyi which grow in the 
San Bernardino Mts. and in the Mt. Pifios region. The original 
material of the SPECIES, according to its label, is from ‘Kern 
County, California.” It has broadly elliptical calyx-segments 
which are very abruptly expanded and rounded at the base, 
whereas the more southern material has obovate or narrowly 
obovate segments which are gradually contracted toward the 
base and cuneate. Although these two forms differ markedly 
in the shape of the calyx-lobes, they are indistinguishable other- 
wise, and it seems best to consider them only varietally distinct.
