in Proc. Am. Acad. 11: 127-131, Watson gave a short synopsis 
of the genus, listing 39 species. Since that time no attempt has 
been made to treat the genus as a whole, but many species have 
been described i in scattered publications. Asa result, the deter- 
mination of species in the genus is difficult, and Professor Ken- 
nedy’s work will be of incalculable benefit. | 
( The gocd people of our sister State of Nevada will be sur- 
prised to learn that they have been annexed to California. We 
here in California have had nothing to do with the matter, so 
they must look to Europe, where the act was consummated, for 
redress. In the Bulletin de la Societe Royale de Botanique de 
Belgique, 42: 183-200, July 10, 1906, just received, Michel 
Gandoger has a paper on the genus Zriogonum. He cites 
eighteen species and varieties from Nevada, and without excer- 
tion Nevada is credited with being a part of California. Tle 
following are some of the anomalies: ‘California, sierra Nevada 
ad Reno;” California, in sierra Nevada ad Wadsworth;” ‘“Cali- 
fornia. Stampede Ecklo Co, in sierra Nevada,” intended for 
“Stampede, Elko county, Nevada,” a point many miles to the 
eastward of the Sierra Nevada. Another novelty is “California, 
in regione Nevadensi ad Sierra Walley.” This looks as if Cali- 
fornia may have been dumped into Nevada. Whatever its in- 
tended meaning, the true interpretation is evidently “California, 
in the Sierra Nevada, in Sierra valley,” which is in Sierra
