NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES 107 
Common along streams at 6,000 to 7,000 feet elevation in 
the Sierra Nevada of middle California, hitherto confused 
with S. triangularis, which is not in California, and is easily 
distinguished by its yellow-green somewhat fleshy herbage, 
eoarsely toothed elongated leaves, and twice or thrice longer 
cylindraceous involucres arranged in a simple cyme; a 
species which abounds at the far north, but appears to ex- 
tend southward only to Oregon on the Pacific coast, and is 
plentiful much farther southward in the Rocky Mountain 
system. | S. trigonophyllus is more nearly related to the Ore- 
gonian S. subvestitus, Howell; but that is a conspicuously 
pubescent species. 
CREPIS GRANDIFOLIA. Tomentulose throughout, the stout 
stems 1 to 3 from the root and 12 to 16 inches high, the 
several oblanceolate acuminate runcinate-toothed long-peti- 
oled radical leaves nearly as long as the stem, the 1 or 2 
cauline reduced in size but not small: branches of the cymuse 
panicle several, unequal, and, with the pedicels, somewhat 
glandular-hispidulous : heads 8 to 15, more than } inch high, 
12 to 18-flowered: achenes 3 or 4 lines long, dull-black, 
linear-fusiform, with ten prominent. obtuse ribs.

except that the longer and more conspicuously winged
