NEW SPECIES, MAINLY CALIFORNIAN 39 
gins erisped, 2—3 inches long, on petioles of equal length, 
lower surface densely white-tomentose, upper glabrate: in- 
volueres terminal only: perianth glabrous, white, segments 
equal, obtuse, rotate-spreading in. flower: filaments villous at 
Interior of Santa Cruz Island, very common ; remarkable 
for the length of its peduncles, the entire plant, of which 
these form by far the greater proportion, being commonly 6 
feet high. Species near E. nudum, but distinguished by its 
rotate perianth and villous filaments. It will no doubt in- 
clude the E. nudum var. pauciflorum of Mr. Lyon's Santa 
Catalina and San Clemente lists, although I have seen no . 
flowering specimen from either of those islands; but I think 
the mainland plant to which Mr. Watson gave that name is 
different, and well enough referred to E. nudum. 
ERIOGONUM RUBESCENS. Near the preceding but low, the 
depressed leafy caudex only a few inches long: leaves ovate- 
eordate, with erisped margins and both surfaces tomentose or 
the upper glabrate: peduncle stout, erect, a foot high, bear- 
ing at summit a compact eymose cluster of many-flowered 
umbels: perianth glabrous, rose-red, campanulate : filaments 
villous at base. 
Island of San Miguel, where it is abundant on low sand- 
stone cliffs near the sea : but first found in a similar locality 
at the extreme west end of Santa Cruz. A most beautiful 
species. 
Erioconum TrRIPODUM. Near E. spherocephalum : leaves 
linear-spatulate, an inch long including the short petiole, to- 
mentose on both sides, the margins revolute: peduncles slen- 
der, more than a foot high, bearing a whorl of leaves above 
the middle, subtending 3 erect rays of which 2 bear a whorl 
of small leaves about midway and the other is naked, each 
with a single involucre at summit: perianth yellow, densely 
villous, less than 2 lines long, abruptly narrowed to a very 
short stipe-like base.
