more acute segments, leaves comparatively shorter, aud capsule 
broadly ovate. The difference int the bulbs of the two plants is 
very striking. F. atropurpurea has a small bulb of a few thick 
scales, whereas that of / pemetorum is like that of F. mutica. 
Through the kindness of Dr. H. M. Hall I have had the 
pleasure of examining the series of & atropurpurea in the her- 
barium of the University of California. Of the six sheets under 
this name, three are genuine atropurpurea as I understand it, 
and three are pimetorum. ‘The following are the localities: 
Pine Forest, Modoc county, June, 1893, M. S. Baker; Marble 
Mountain, Siskiyou county, Chandler, 1592; and Crook county, 
eastern Oregon, Cusick 2815, are F&. atropurpurea. Near Sum- 
mit, Mt. Pinos, Ventura county, 8200 feet altitude, Hall 6517; 
Swarthout canyon, southern California, 6000 feet altitude, Hall 
1507; Long Meadow, King’s river, 6800 feet altitude, Hall and 
Chandler, 442% are &: pinetorum. 
A somewhat imperfect specimen collected at Bear Valley, 
San Bernardino mountains, is probably this same species. — 
< Bromus marginatus is well established around the camp. 
Melca californica Scribn. and MZ stricta Bolander were both 
fairly common.
