312 PITTONIA. 
racemes long and drooping, fruiting copiously ; the drupes 
glaucous and with thick sarcocarp, almost like that of a plum, 
Elevated hills of the inner Coast Ranges in Lake and Sono- 
ma Counties, California; well represented in U. S. Herb. by 
Heller’s n. 5859 from Lake Co., this to stand as the type; but I 
have little doubt. the same collector’s n. 5043 from the interior 
of Sonoma Co. is the same thing in flower. This, if nearest 
the type species as to general marks of foliage, is farthest from 
it as to its fruit.
