long, with short, orbicular lobes, glabrous externally, hairy within, white or 

 tinged with pink; stamens with filaments somewhat bearded; ovary densely 

 covered with white hairs, but not glandular, slightly rounded at top; style a 

 little longer than the stamens; fruit similar to that of A. glandulosa. 



This manzanita, while very different in appearance from 

 either A. glandulosa or A. montana, has some characteris- 

 tics of both. The condensed raceme and the pubescence 

 are similar to those of A. montana, the pubescence being 

 that of the young growth of A. montana; while the size 

 and shape of the flowers, the foliaceous bracts and stout 

 pedicels resemble those of A. glandulosa. The fruit, also, 

 is large and with abundant pulp. 



. It fruits sparingly. Its season of blooming is earlier than 

 that of A . montana, but generally not so early as that of 

 the first blooming bushes of A. glandulosa. 



The bushes from which the description is drawn grow on 

 the trail from the Eldridge Grade to Larsen's, and are to be 

 found between the last bunch of cypresses and the Rock 

 Spring. They are close to the trail and conspicuous in 

 contrast with the bright green, very glandular specimens of 

 A. glandulosa in the immediate vicinity. It is abundant on 

 a trail recently cut from West Point to Rock Spring. Pro- 

 fessor W. R. Dudley of Stanford University has sent 

 me specimens of the same species from above Felton 

 and from Loma Prieta in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
