1921] Smiley: Flora of the Sierra Nevada of California 209 



Arahis HoweUii Wats. (Proc. Ana. Acad., vol. 25, p. 124. 1890), 

 a species of southern Oregon and also found by Shockley in the White 

 Mountains of Inyo County, is attributed to Mariposa County on a 

 collection of Congdon's (not seen b}^ me) in the Syn. FL, vol. 1, pt. 1, 

 p. 470 ; this species resembles A. platysperma in appearance but is dis- 

 tinguished by absence of nervation in the valves of the silique. No 

 collections referable to A. HoweUii have been seen by me from the 

 Sierra Nevada. 



Arahis Sahulosa var. frigida Jones (Contr. W. Coast Bot., vol. 14, 

 p. 41. 1912 ) , described from ' ' Top of Diamond Peak ( Central Sierra) , 

 Cal., June 28, 1897, nearly alpine, Jones," is unknown to me except 

 from description.
