NEW SPECIES, MAINLY CALIFORNIAN. 35 
ovate, 4—10 lines in length, 3—4 lines wide, acute at both 
ends or occasionally obtuse at the summit, with a thickened 
eartilaginous margin frequently prolonged into a caspidate 
tip, more or less distinctly net-veined, smooth on both sides, 
or when young with a scattered glandular scurf and hispid- 
ciliate margins, petioles short, together with the young branch- 
es thiekly set with intermixed hispid and glandular hairs; 
inflorescence short-racemose, with broad triangular bracts 
attenuate above; pedicels short with conspicuous hyaline 
bracteoles at base; calyx 5-parted with broad scarious mar- 
gins, persistent ; corolla oblong-ovate slightly urceolate, with 
5 short lobes; stamens 10, filaments hairy on the upper part 
of the expanded portion; style smooth, sulcate, with green 
stigmas; ovary hispid hairy becoming smooth; fruit (im- 
mature) with thin wrinkled pericarp, resdibe. deciduous ; 
akenes apparently resembling those of A. nummularia with 
thin walls, and large embryo. 
A low densely branched shrub, with small myrtle shaped 
leaves, growing in extensive moorish patches, on the summit 
and slopes of gravelly ridges east of Ione, Amador County, 
California. Closely allied to A. nummularia, Gray, of Men- 
doeino and Santa Cruz coast plains, from which it is clearly 
distinguished by its sharp pointed leaves, acute also at base, 
the floral segments regular in 5, with 10, stamens. The ma- 
ture fruit (not yet seen) is likely to conform closely to that 
of A. nummularia as noted in Davenport Acad. Proc. Vol. 
iv. p. 36. 
First collected in leaf and undeveloped flower buds by Mrs. 
M. K. Curran, May, 1886, and by the writer in full flower, 
with forming fruit, February Ist, 1887, at the above noted 
locality. C. C. Panny.]

or prostrate, the numerous branches 2 feet long, somewhat 
scabrous throughout, the inflorescence setose-hispid with 
short, bristly hairs: leaves pinnately divided, the segments 
with rounded and few-toothed lobes : lobes of the calyx oblong,
