DENDROMECON. 299 
4. D. Harrorpit. Kell. Proc. Calif. Acad. v. 102, mainly; 
Greene, Bull. Torr. Club, xiii, 217; Gray, Syn. Fl. i. 87 in small 
part only, excel. syn. D. flexilis. Very stout, low shrub, the 
branches short, rigid, hidden by the erect and imbricated large 
stiff foliage: leaves obovate-elliptic, 2 or 3 inches long, 1 to 14 
inches wide at the widest part a little above the middle, very 
rigid and hard, cuspidately acute by a hard almost woody point, 
entire, prominently feather-veined and reticulate, both veins 
and veinlets perfectly smooth: neither pods nor seeds known to 
the present writer. 
The shrub the vegetative characters answer the above descrip- 
tion is, I believe, known only as collected by Mr. Harford on 
Santa Rosa Island in 1872; who also at the same time collected 
fair material of what I long afterwards obtained on Santa Cruz 
Island, and published as D. flexilis; and it is now plain that 
Dr. Kellogg confused the two. I now see that his expression 
“roundish to subeordate ovate’’ in reference to the foliage, is 
derived from that of D. fexiiis, a Santa Rosa specimen by 
Harford being at the moment before me. I have no evidence 
that Mr. Brandegee detected this species while on Santa Rosa. 
Two sheets of his specimens, so labelled, in U. S. Herb. show 
no trace of D. Harfordit; and what I said of this shrub in 
1886 is incontestable. It bears no intimate relation to D. flexilis, 
but, on the contrary, is next of kin to D. rigidaitself. Its exceed- 
ingly hard-coraceous and upright foliage, strongly reticulated, 
also yellow-green and almost free from bloom—all these are 
points absolutely decisive of its close relation to D. rigida. 
5. D. AGNINA. Leaves small, coriaceous, and very rigid as 
well as erect, much diversified as to outline, those lowest on 
the flowering branches only ? inch long, oval, obtuse, the greater 
number, 1 to 13 inches long, ovate-lanceolate, very acute, but 
not cuspidately or pungently so, minutely erose-denticulate, 
rather evidently slenderly feather-veined, the reticulation mani- 
fest on both faces but not prominent, rather very fine and low, 
altogether smooth: corolla 14 inches wide: pods 24 inches 
long.
