162 - .PITTONIA. 



the lateral ones obliquely ovate, all coarsely toothed, the 

 teeth rigidly spinesceni conspicuously reticulate-veiny on 

 both faces, pale and glaucous beneath, deep but dull green 

 and glaucescent above : racemes short, terminal and axillary; 

 berries small, very glaucoiis. 



This is the '' B. repens''' of the books and lists upon Cali- 

 fornian botany, though entirely distinct from that slender 

 creeping shrub of the Rocky Mountains to which Lindley 

 gave the name. Ours, though a dwarf, has the habit of B, 

 Aqiiif ol in m, hnt the dull foliage of B, repcns^ though the 

 texture is firmer than in either, and the leaflets are usually 

 in threes. The berries are only about half as large as those 

 of B. rcpens and Aqiiifolium, The species inhabits the 

 Coast Range perhaps throughout California ; but south of 

 Siskiyon County it is nowhere common, and is seldom col- 

 lected. The most recent specimens before me were obtained 

 near Waldo, Oregon, in 1889, by Mr. Thomas Howell. 



*" Telltma scabrella. stems solitary, a foot liigli, slender,

either 3— 5-lobed, or 3-cleft or -parted, in age bearing each a 



rather large bulblet in the axil ; cauline 3 or 4, alternate, 



deeply cleft or parted : raceme lax ; pedicels nearly or quite 



equalling or even exceeding the calyx, this with a rounded
