A List or SAN BENITO PLANTS. 
1. EscHsCHOLTZIA RAMOSA, Greene, Bull. Torr. Club, xiii. 
217; Bull. Calif. Acad. ii. 389. This is the fourth locality, 
all of them insular, for this uncommonly well marked species. 
2. LEPIDIUM LASIOCARPUM, Nutt., Torr. & Gray, Fl. i. 115. 
3. LAVATERA VENOSA, Watson, Proc. Am. Acad. xii. 249. 
Said to grow on all parts of the island, but most abundantly 
in the canons, where it forms dense and nearly impassable 
thickets. 
4. FRANKENIA PALMERI, Watson, op. cit. xi. 124. 
5. HosackIA maritima, Nutt, Torr. & Gray, FI. i. 326. 
6. CALANDRINIA MARITIMA, Nutt., loc. cit. 197. 
7. EUPHORBIA BENEDICTA. Shrubby, 6—18 inches high, 
the main stem an inch or two thick, very short, parting into 
few stout knotted ascending branches, the whole covered with 
a close smooth shining bark: leaves fascicled at the ends of 
the short branches, an inch or two long, including the slender 
petiole, broadly obcordate, or only emarginate, an inch in 
breadth, light green and appearing glabrous (very sparingly 
puberulent under a lens): flowers solitary or few in the 
leaf-axils, on slender peduncles 4 inch long; glands trans- 
versely elliptical, green; appendages broadly obovate-petaloid, 
irregularly toothed at the nearly truncate apex, 13 lines long, 
cream color: capsules large, smooth and glabrous. 
Abundant on all the island slopes, and, although nearly 
related to E. misera, decidedly ornamental as well as odd-
