Note. — Since the completion of the above paper, I have received 

 fruiting specimens of the following, viz. : 



Ceanothus Orcuttii, n. sp. 



Branches flexible, dull reddish, with short, hispid pubescence; leaves 

 petiolate, broadly orbicular to oblong-cordate, usually rounded obtuse, 

 30 to 40 mm. in length, often as broad, irregularly glandular-serrate, 

 sparingly hispid above, strongly triple-nerved beneath, with prominent 

 hairy ciliate veins; inflorescence axillary, oval scarcely exceeding the 

 leaves, rather compact, with pubescent rachis, and smooth pedicels; 

 flowers apparently white or light blue (seen only in fallen fragments); 

 fruit glandular-hispid, with corrugated resinous epicarp, and conspic- 

 uous crests; seeds light brown. 



Habitat: — High mountains east of San Diego, C. R. Orcutt, May 

 and July, 1889. Remarkable for its glandular-hispid fruit, nearest allied 

 to C. sanguineus, Pursh., and to succeed it in the synoptical list as 

 No. y~.
