Three years ago, in the Bulletin of the Southern California 
Academy of Sciences, @: 83, I had occasion to mention the oc- 
currence of this plant on the sea coast, near Arch Beach. It 
had been known previously only from Lower California. It has 
now been collected by the Rev. George Robertson at Dobb’s 
Camp, 3000m. altitude, Grayback mountain, the highest peak 
of the San Bernardino range. This is well up in the Transition 
zone. So great an altitudinal range is almost unprecedented in 
our flora, being shared, so far as I recall, only by Avgemone 
platyceras, a plant which is found in every phytogeographic 
zone and subzone below the Canadian. Identified by Dr. B. L. 
Robinson. 
San Bernardino, California. 
Upon examining a recent collection of what seems to be 
Pentstemon heterophyllus, I find that of the four perfect stamens 
the two short ones are inserted at the very base of the corolla 
tube and free from it. The two long ones are adnate to the 
tube for its whole length on the lower side, the free portion of 
the filaments following the curve of the corolla, and close to it. 
The sterile stamen or staminodium is also affixed to the tube, 
but on the upper side, the free portion curving at the base, then 
erect, thus standing inward, away from the corolla. These 
characters may be generic, but I find no mention of any of them 
in our books.—A. A. HELLER.
