AN EXTENSION OF RANGE 
While summering last August at Long Beach, Washington, 
I collected, among other plants, a Cakzle. Upon showing it to 
Mr. Heller, it was found to be his new species, C. calzfornica. 
The finding of this plant in Washington is especially interest- 
ing, sluce it extends the known distribution of the genus some 
600 miles north, it having been previously reported only as far 
north as the Golden Gate, and not having been mentioned by 
Howell or Piper.—ERNEST A. MCGREGOR, Stanford Univer-
