are quite different. There are no flower buds even. If 

 an Artemisia, it is probably undescribed.

This species has a peculiar distribution. It is represented 

 in almost all the coast islands both of Southern and Baja 

 California. On the mainland it extends as far north as Pt. 

 Sal, where it grows in company with Leptosyne gigantea; 

 while on the south it reaches the coast of South America, 

 where it was first discovered. The following localities are 

 known to the writer either from specimens in the Academy's 

 Herbarium or from reports : 



Coast of California, mainland — San Luis Rey, Coro- 

 nado, Pt. Sal. 



Coast Islands — Cedros, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San 

 Miguel, Santa Catalina. 



Baja California — Lagoon Head, Carysito, Aqua Dulce, 

 San Regius. 



Chili — Macuma, Huasco. 



There is some variation among all these specimens, those 

 from San Nicolas being unusually large. The stem is 

 about a foot high and becomes quite woody. It was fre- 

 quent on uplands along the ridge.
