NEW OR NOTEWORTHY SPECIES. 1G5 



Near Gonzales, Monterey Co., California, May, 1891, A. 

 Norton. A fine species, much like C. memhranacea in habit, 

 but more related to C. Douglasiij the involucres very pecu- 

 liar. Those which are solitary in the forks have no colored 

 margin to the segments. Those of the clusters seklom exhibit 

 a trace of those three segments which should correspond to 

 the secondary ribs, and so the limb is exactly triangular. 



Eriogonum Nortoni. Near E, iruncahun, but smaller, 

 more branching, the stem branches and involucres glabrous, 

 reddish in age : leaves whorled at the base of the stem and 

 at the lowar nodes, small and tliick, broadly obovate or some- 

 what obcordate, cuneately but abruptly narrowed to a long 

 slender petiole, glabrous above, white-tomentose beneath : 

 involucres terminal upon the dichotomous branches and ses- 

 sile in the forks, solitary, turbinate, 1^ lines long, the 5 to 7 

 angles conspicuous, teeth short and blunt : flowers very 

 nuaierous, white or rose-color, f line long: sepals equal, obo- 

 vate, nearly truncate. 



Sune station as the preceding, and by the same collector.

Eriogonum agninum. Near E. vimiueum, but largei- and 

 less diffuse, 1 or 2 feet high, the stem and branches glabrous: 

 leaves all at base of stem, rather numerous, broadly oblance- 

 olate, obtuse, strongly undulate, attenuate to a sliort petiole, 

 lioary-tomentose on both faces, 2 or 3 inches long : involucres 

 secund along the virgate branches, 1 line long, narrowly 

 turbinate, rather prominently 5-1oothed, many-flowered : 

 flowers pale rose-color, f line long; sepals equal, cnneate- 



obovate, obtuse or retuse. 

 Common on the northern slope of the Santa Inez Moun- 



t'lins, Santa Barbara Co., California. 



Eriophyllltii Jepsonii. Suffruticose, 2 feet high, the stem 

 and branches white witli a close pannose tomeutum : leaves 

 opposite or alternate, 1 to 2 inches long, pinnately divided 

 into 5 to 7 narrowly linear revolute segments, glabrate above,
