NOTES ON CALIFORNIA PLANTS 
In the first number of this volume Mr. Parish calls atten- 
tion to the reported occurrence of Quercus Morehus Kellogg, on 
Catalina Island, doubting its presence there on account of the 
absence of both of its parents. Undoubtedly he is right. I feel 
sure that it is a mistaken identification, and the species reported 
should have been Quercus Macdonaldi Greene. ‘This somewhat 
resembles the arboreal forms of Q. Morehus, but is more nearly 
related to Q. lobata or Q. Douglasiz, being deciduous. Profes- 
sor Sargent regards it as a form of the evergreen Q. dumosa. 
LAYIA CARNOSA T. & G. (Madaraglossa carnosa Nutt.) is 
reported as occurring from San Diego to Marin county. It is 
quite plentiful on the sands at Samoa, near Eureka, Humboldt 
county. 
HELIANTHELLA CANNONAE Eastw. This species, when 
described, was known only from the San Francisco peninsula. 
Recently I found it on the Berkely hills east of Grizzly Peak, 
growing amid the chaparral. Mrs. Brandegee tells me that she 
has seen it near Laundry Farm, at the foot of Redwood Peak, 
but has regarded it as a hybrid between Wyethia and Helian. 
thella. In no locality where I have seen it is there either of the 
supposed parents except Wyethza. . |
