80 Muhlenbergia, Volume 3 an ; 
cited from near Oakland, Santa Cruz and Monterey. During 
the spring of 1904 it was very abundant on a burnt over area 
on the ridge southwest of Los Gatos. It is not known outside 
of the coast region, and extends north to at —< Mendocino 
county. 
CALOCHORTUS ALBUS Doug. 
Rather common on wooded slopes in rich loose soil or even 
in grassy fields. The flowers of our plant, and indeed in all 
specimens that I have seen from the Coast Range, are tinged 
with purple, and this form is no doubt the typical one, since 
Douglas collected only in the coast region. To my mind this 
species should be remanded to the genus Cyclobothrya, under 
which it was originally described. 
TRILLIUM OVATUM Pursh 
A resident of damp shady woods in rich, loose soil, with us 
found mostly among the redwoods. It was found this year be- 
tween Saratoga and the summit of the Coast Range, but not 
plentifully. The type was collected by Lewis ‘‘on the rapids of 
the Columbia River.” It is said to extend southward to Santa 
Cruz. 
TRITELEIA LAXA Benth, 
This showy plant is common in the hills about Los Gatos, 
growing either in grassy places or in open wooded tracts. Our 
form, with large, but not the largest, deep violet blue flowers, is 
apparently the typical one, as compared with the colored figure 
of the original. Specimens were also collected this year among. 
the hills back of Alum Rock Park. 
VAGNERA SESSILIFOLIA (Baker) Greene 
Not uncommon on moist northerly wooded slopes in loose, 
tich soil, many stems often growing from the slender branching 
rootstocks. Easily distinguished from the next, which some- 
times grows in close proximity, by the few and comparatively 
large flowers. The species is widely distributed, the original
