 at 5,000 feet and upwards, south of the Yosemite, Miss Dix, A. Gray, 

 and in Sierra County, Lenvmon." 



Range. — Sierra Nevada. 



Zone. — Transition and lower Canadian {Pinus Jeffreyi belt).

 191 ; Soda Springrs, Nevada County, Jones 2459 ; east side of Angora 

 Peak, Tahoe, 7,800 feet, Smiley 28 ; hillside above Summit, 7,100 feet. 

 Smiley 451 ; near Castle Peak, Heller 7067 ; between Donner and 

 Cisco, Mrs. Brandegee, July, 1908; North Fork of King's River, 7,000

Mimulus montioides Gray (Proc. Am. Acad., vol. 7, p. 380. 1867), 

 described from "High Sierras of Fresno Co., Prof. Brewer," is only 

 known from the Upper Sonoran and Arid Transition life-zones; it 

 is probable that the tj'pe described really came from the low country 

 east of the Sierra; this conjecture is based partly upon the fact that 

 the type preserved in the Gray Herbarium bears the legend "2785, 

 with," suggesting accidental association of the plant described with 

 this number of the State Survey. In the field book of the Survey, 

 the nmnbers from 2781-2844 are from the mountains of Tulare County, 

 in the vicinit}' of Mt. Brewer.
