ERIOGONUM FASCICULATUM Benth. var. polifolium (Benth.) 
| £. polifolium Benth. in DC. Prodr. 14: 12. 1856. 
. In the desert region this is the prevalent, perhaps the ex- 
clusive, form, the species being confined, apparently, to the cis- 
montane region. But this, also, is by no means uncommon in 
_ the latter region, especially in the interior, as are abundant in- 
termediates, which connect it too closely with the species. 
ERIOGONUM FASCICULATUM Benth. var. maritimum var. nov. 
_Stems slender and less woody than in the species, growing 
in compact, depressed clumps, 25-30cm. high, and of greater 
breadth: flowers as in the species. A well marked habital vari- 
ety, in manner of growth very different from the species or the 
preceding variety. 
Prevalent near the seacoast of San Diego county. No. 
4445 Parish, collected in June, 1897, at Oceanside, may be 
taken as the type. 
CHENOPODIUM ANTHELMINTICUM L,. Sp. Pl. 220. 1753. 
C. ambroswordes 1. is a common weed throughout the cis- 
‘montane region of southern California, but the present closely 
allied species has not been reported. Mr. F. M. Reed now finds 
it established in orange orchards at Riverside, where, he thinks, 
it was introduced in stable manure brought from the north. 
CHENOPODIUM CARINATUM R. Br. 
Pasadena, Geo. B. Grant, 1906; “a recent introduction.” 
This weed has probably reached us from the central part of the 
State, in some parts of which it appears to be common.
