la. Arabis Lyallii var. Davidsonii (Greene), comb. nov. 



A. Davidsoni Greene, Leaflets, vol. 2, p. 159. 1911. 



Type locality. — "Bishop's Creek, Inyo Co., Calif." 



Range. — Sierra Nevada only, so far as known.

This variety differs from the species in the greener, longer petioled 

 leaves upon a stouter, more woody caudex ; differences, in my opinion, 

 of distinctly varietal rank.
