RAILLARDELLA MurrRiI Gray. ‘This species, which so far 
as known, has been collected only by John Muir and at some 
unknown locality, is quite abundant on the walls and floor of 
Tehipite canyon. It grows in clumps and attains a height of 
about a foot. I collected good specimens there in August, 1905, 
but they were all destroyed in the San Francisco fire. 
PELTIPHYLLUM PELTATUM is plentiful on the banks of a 
little creek that flows from Milwood, Presno county, to the mid- 
dle fork of King’s river. I believe this is its most southern sta- 
tion in the Sierra Nevada. 
TRAUTVETTERIA GRANDIS Nutt. This is another north- 
ern plant which I found in the Kings river region. Its pub- 
lished range is west Idaho and British Columbia to Plumas 
county, California. The specimens that I collected in August, 
1905, grew in a little meadow watered by a rivulet which ap- 
peared to belong to the north fork of Kings river. It was along 
a trail leading over Roger’s Ridge to Tehipite canyon.
