Los ANGELES CouNTy: On a rocky canyon-wall, San Cle- 
mente Island, 1923, E. G. Blair (TyPE, Baker Herb. 20492); on 
rocky walls of the canyon running from Lemon.Tank, San 
Clemente Island, Munz 66817 (B). 
A very remarkable species, apparently without immediate 
relatives, differing from all its congeners in its coarse woody habit 
and broad herbaceous veiny leaves. Although in gross aspect 
strange in Stephanomeria, the reproductive structures of the 
plant are quite characteristic of the genus. It is a pleasure to 
name this plantin honor of Mr. E. G. Blair of the San Clemente 
Sheep Co., who extended many courtesies to a Pomona College 
party during a visit to San Clemente Island in 1923, and who has 
obligingly furnished us with a fine flowering and fruiting specimen 
from the cliffs where the senior author had obtained a weathered 
inflorescence.
