NEW SPECIES OF PACIFIC COAST PLANTS. 35 
On Mounts Hood and Adams near the snow line; also at 
the mouth of the Columbia River. No doubt this has been 
collected several times and referred to R. laxiflorum, but 
that isa more northern species with the “bracts shorter 
than the glandular pedicels,” and “orbicular calyx-lobes ” 
and “red fruit.” 
Erigeron confinis. Stems simple, one to several from a 
woody perennial root, 4 to 8 inches high, very leafy: leaves 
narrowly spatulate-linear, an inch long or more: heads 
usually solitary at the end of the stem, but often several 
together; involucre hemispherical, its linear acuminate 
bracts in few ranks, nearly equal, 3 to 4 lines long; rays 
numerous, rather broad, 6 to 10 lines long, purplish; pappus 
a single series of barbellate-scabrous bristles; achenes 
sparingly pubescent. 
On high rocky ridges of the Siskiyou Mountains, July, 
1886. 
Senecio subvestitus. Stem simple, 1 to 2 feet high from 
short spreading rootstocks, more or less arachnoid-tomen- 
tose: leaves deltoid-lanceolate or obscurely hastate, the 
lowest subcordate, all petiolate, 1 to nearly 4 inches long, 
not much reduced above, dentate: heads several in a cyme, 
a half inch high, radiate, many-flowered; involucre cam- 
panulate with or without setaceous bracts at base. 
In wet meadows, top of the Siskiyou Mountains near 
Waldo, Oregon. Somewhat resembling S. triangularis, but 
stouter and more succulent, and with larger heads. 
Phacelia verna. Annual, soft-pubescent and cinereous, 
4 to 10 inches high, branching from the base and decumbent: 
leaves obovate to spatulate, entire or rarely some of the lower 
ones incisely toothed, abruptly contracted below to a winged 
petiole, or the upper ones sessile: corolla pale blue, but 
little exceeding the calyx, open-campanulate, cleft to the 
middle, its appendages broad and free from the filaments; 
calyx-lobes linear-lanceolate, 2 or 3 lines long, hirsute; 
stamens exserted, anthers oval; style deeply 2-cleft, hispid-
