CYPRIPEDIUM FASCICULATUM IN SANTA CRUZ 
COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 
By ALICE EASTWOOD 
Some years ago this was sent to me for identification from 
Glenwood, in the Santa Cruz mountains. In the same year it 
was also brought to me by Mr. Horace Davis, who found it on 
his country place near Glenwood. It was described by Watson 
in the Proceedings of the American Academy, 18: 382. 1882. 
The specimens had been given the above name by Dr. A. Kel- 
logg. 
As the description has not come into any of the manuals of 
California botany, it seems well to reprint the description. 
“Dwarf (2-6 inches high) the villous-pubescent stem scari- 
ously sheathed at base and bearing a pair of nearly opposite 
ovate, acutish leaves (2-4 inches long): peduncle viscid-pubes- 
cent % to 1% inches long, with a small lanceolate bract in the 
middle: flowers solitary or usually several in a terminal cluster, 
bracteate, greenish: sepals and petals lanceolate, acuminate, 
6-8 lines long, brown-veined, the lower sepals wholly united or 
very nearly so: lip depressed, ovate, greenish-yellow with brown 
purple margin, 4-5 lines long: sterile anther obtuse, equalling 
the stigma. Collected by W. N. Suksdorf on the White Sal- 
mon River, Washington Territory, above the falls in May, 1880; 
by Mrs. R. M. Austin in May, 1881, near Prattville, Plumas 
County, California; and at some time previous by Mr. Bradley, 
probably in the mountains of Del Norte County [California]. 
Resembling C. guttatum of Alaska.” 
In the Brandegee herbarium at the University of California, 
the species is represented by specimens from Mr. Suksdorf, May, 
1886; Mrs. Austin from Butte valley, 1870; Grave Creek Hills, 
Oregon, collected by Thos. Howell, and in Washington in 1883 
by T. S. Brandegee when on the North Transcontinental Sur- 
vey, being number 1095 of the coliection. 
This new locality in Santa Cruz county is noteworthy on 
account of its great distance from the other recorded localities.
