compact than Emory’s figures in the Mexican Boundary Survey, 
but a specimen sent us by Mr. S. B. Parish, collected by a Mr. 
Childs at the Hayfields in the Chuckawalla Valley, is of more 
open habit than the one in Emory’s plate. Both of our collec- 
tions were very near the road and from large conspicuous shrubs, 
three to four feet high, forming wide gray masses of interlacing 
thorns; it seems strange that such conspicuous plants so near the 
road have been collected so seldom. Our Ludlow station is no 
doubt the one reported by Mrs. Ferris (Bull. So. California Acad. 
18: 13. 1919), but the one near Amboy is some distance from 
those reported by Davidson (ibid. 19: 55. 1920).

FRASERA Parryl Torr. 
Frasera Parryt Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. Surv. 156. 1859. 
Collected June 7, 1919, in the foothills of the San Gabriel 
Mountains between Live Oak and San Dimas Canyons, by Mrs. 
Fitch, C. F. Baker Herbarium No. 6594. Long ago reported from 
“east of . . . Los Angeles’”’ by Brewer (Bot. California 1: 484. 
1876), but not again detected on the south slope of the San 
Gabriel range until the present. Frequent in the San Bernardino 
and San Jacinto ranges, where it inhabits pine-clad slopes of the 
Transition Zone. The present collection was a single plant and 
grew in the lower chaparral belt at about 1700 feet altitude.
