NOTES ON THE FLORA OF SAN MATEO AND 
SANTA CLARA COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA 
By STEWART H. BURNHAM 
The following are some of the more important field notes 
made from the fall of 1893 to May, 1895, while in attendance at 
Leland Stanford Jr. University. Many excursions were made 
from the foothills to the summits of the outer Coast Range, be- 
sides an extended “roughing it” trip to the Yosemite and neigh- 
boring Sierras during the summer vacation. Early in 1894 Dr. 
Edward Lee Greene’s “Manual of the Botany of the Region of 
San Francisco Bay” appeared, and the work was found to be 
very helpful, as no descriptive flora of this region had before 
been published. At that time, 1894, some of the collections 
_ extended the range of the species, and a few of the following 
were omitted from the Manual. Specimens of most of the 
species mentioned are still preserved in my herbarium. 
DICHELOSTEMMA CAPITATUM (Benth.) Wood 
The flowers are usually blue-purple, but pure white flow- 
ered plants were found along the lower Coal Ridge road, from

the summit of Black mountain, May 8, 1895. The species was | 
also collected in the Yosemite valley and at Crockers.
