350 | Munz AND JOHNSTON: PLANTS OF CALIFORNIA—IT 
Type: Twenty-nine Palms, southern edge of Mohave 
Desert, May 1, 1921, Munz 455c¢, (Baker Herb. 9547). 
Very conspicuous as white-fruited clumps growing in bushes 
of mesquite with the typical red-fruited form. Specimens of 
this collection were sent to Dr. Wm. Trelease who considered 
it worth recognition and permitted us to publish it. A second 
collection, Munz 4703, likewise on mesquite, from Andreas 
Canyon near Palm Springs, can also be reported. 
. Eriogonum nodosum var. Jaegeri var. nov. 
With habit, inflorescence, and floral structures of the typical 
form of the species but with stems tomentose only below on the 
leaf-bearing CoeLiral, the upper parts of the stem and the in- 
florescence being glabrous with, at most, a little wool in the 
axils. rie iaaes ‘plabrous or slightly floccose, the subtending 
bracts woolly on their inner edges. 
Tyre: Dry Morongo Wash, near Hole-in-the-Wall Springs, 
seed ere sete November 15, 1921, E. C. Jaeger 251 (Baker 
Herb. 
This ak form of E. nodosum Small (Bull. Torrey Club 
25: 49. 1898) was collected at the eastern base of the San 
Bernardino Mountains, between 2500 and 3000 feet altitude, 
and well deserves recognition because of the totally different 
aspect as compared with the typical form. It is reported as 
very plentiful by its finder, Mr. Edmund C. Jaeger, one of the 
most active collectors of the desert flora. 
. Eriogonum fasciculatum var. flavoviride var. nov. 
Vith capitate inflorescence and general habits of ie var. 
‘kthen T. & G., but lower in stature, about A foot high; 
light green in color instead of ashy; leaves glabrous and green 
above, but somew what tomentose and pallid nate awe glabrous 
without and hairy within 
Type: Pinyon Wells, southern edge of Mohave Desert, 
April 30, 1921, Munz 4505, (Baker Herb. 9425). 
This peculiar yellowish green glabrate plant was found to 
be abundant in a sandy desert canyon in high Lower Sonoran 
Zone above Pinyon Wells. It was associated all along the 
canyon with var. polifolium, but was very distinct from this in 
size and color. We have seen also material from Cottonwood 
Pass, Hall 6093, about fifteen miles to the southeast and in the 
same general mountain range; here too it grew with var. polifol-
