and thinnish rim not more conspicuous than the strongly 10- 
neryed inner margin: seeds spherical, greenish with trace of 
obscure indument and not very definitely favose-reticulate. 
Species of the interior valley of extreme northern California ; 
my best specimen collected at Klamathon, 2 July, 1903, by E. 
B. Copeland, what purports to be the same having been distri- 
buted by OC. F. Baker, under n. 3532, though no specimen 
equalling, or approaching my type, as to completeness, has been 
seen by me. I also had it many years since, from the same 
region, through Miss Edmonds, and from her specimens I am 
able to describe the seeds. . 
Allied to Æ. /eptandra, and while from the same latitude, they 
belong to two most distinct climatic regions, and are supported 
by many characters. I refer here with doubt, a plant with buds 
less rounded, from one of the more elevated parts of the same 
region, by H. E. Brown, from the slopes of Mt. Shasta, 1897. 
24. E. XYLORRHIZA. Slender and rather small perennial, the 
many stems barely a foot high arising from the stout branched 
and subligneous crown of a deep root: herbage very glaucous, 
the margins of the petioles and petiolules coarsely scabrous- 
ciliolate, the plant otherwise glabrous: leaves rather small, their 
segments few and not much diverging, the ultimates with mid- 
dle lobe much longest, all acutish: buds oval, 4 inch long, ob- 
tuse, very short-pointed: corollas evidently deep-yellow or orange 
not widely expanding, + inch broad or more: stamens many : 
stigmas 2 only and short: pods 14 inches long, rigid and striate: 
outer torus-rim closely deflexed in maturity, exposing the almost, 
equally conspicuous inner one: seeds not seen. 
Snow Mountain, Lake Co., Calif., 25 Aug., 1893, Brandegee; 
specimens on sheet 2493, Herb. Calif. Acad., also n. 82868. Herb. 
Field Mus.; a very interesting species, of which one would like 
to see the seeds; and they must have been collected, as the speci- 
mens are mature. 
25. E. ANGULARIS. Perennial, the tufted stems not very 
stout but rigid, suberect, 1 to 2 feet high, all with several more
