48 ERYTHEA. 
Raillardella paniculata. Stoutish, erect, perhaps 2 feet 
high, leafy throughout, paniculately branching; herbage 
viscid and rather densely short-hirsute with gland-tipped 
hairs: leaves an inch long, ovate and ovate-lanceolate, 
acutish, entire, closely sessile: heads 15 or 20, short pedun- 
cled, $$ inch high: bracts of the inyolucre few but some- 
what biserial, linear-lanceolate, acuminate: rays none: 
achenes slender and nearly linear, acutely 5-costate, hispid- 
ulous; pappus of 50 or more stoutish barbellulate dull-white 
bristles. 
Near the limit of trees on Mt. Shasta, 4 Aug., 1894, Willis 
L. Jepson. Evidently related to the little known R. Muirii; 
and perhaps along with that representing a genus distinct 
from Raillardella. Mr. J epson’s specimens are sadly frag- 
mentary, so that nothing is known of the root, or even of the 
lower part of the stem. 
Crepis Modocensis. Stout, erect, 8 to 16 inches high, 
canescently tomentulose throughout, and most so upon the 
involucres: leaves ample, mainly radical, laciniate-pin- 
natifid: heads nearly an inch high, 6 to 12, somewhat 
corymbosely arranged at the summit of the bracted and 
somewhat scape-like stem; peduncles and bracts of invol- 
ucre beset with a few dark brown or blackish almost prickle- 
like bristles: achenes fusiform, slightly attenuate at apex, 
delicately and acutely costate: pappus firm, not very 
copious. 
Lava beds of Modoc Co., Calif., Mrs. Austin, J une, 1894. 
Allocarya Nelsonii. Annual, diffuse, the stoutish and 
somewhat succulent branches strigose-pubescent, 6 inches 
long, rather densely racemose throughout and with a short 
bract subtending each pedicel: nutlets # line long, ovate- 
lanceolate, carinate ventrally almost down to the nearly 
basal rounded or obscurely trigonous sear, the back with 
rather few and sharp transverse ridges beset with tufts of 
uncinate-tipped bristles, the intervals with low muriculate- 
roughened tuberculations.
