NOVITATES OCCIDENTALES. 65 
Erigeron elegantulus. Near ZH. ochroleucus, but smaller, 
with broader and violet-colored rays: stems densely ces- 
pitose, the thickish and whitish branches thickly beset with 
narrowly linear strigose-pubescent leaves an inch long or 
more: scapiform peduncles slender, about 3 inches high, 
leafy-bracted toward the base: heads only 3 lines high; 
bracts of the involucre in 2 series, the outer two-thirds as 
long as the inner: rays 20 to 30: achenes with very promi- 
nent margin; pappus dull-white, simple, merely scabrous. 
Dixey Valley, Lassen Co., Calif., 5 July, 1894. Baker & 
Nutting. A very pretty species, fully distinct from the more 
northerly H. ochroleucus, to which latter Dr. Gray probably 
too inconsiderately referred some plants that are far from 
yellowish in the coloring of their rays. 
Erigeron barbellulatus. Near #. Bloomeri, but thrice 
as large and with conspicuous rays: caudex loosely branch- 
ing and the branches several inches long, densely leafy at 
summit: leaves spatulate-oblanceolate, 1 or 2 inches long, 
2 lines wide at the broad summit, green and only obscurely 
pubescent: scapiform peduncles 6 inches high, bractless 
except near the base, monocephalous: involucre nearly 4 
inch high; bracts equal: rays rather broad, only 12 to 18, 
purplish: pappus dull-white, coarse, firm and barbellulate- 
scabrous, the outer series represented by very few smooth 
setule. 
Silver Lake, Lassen Co., Calif., July 20, 1894, Baker & 
Nutting. 
Cladothamnus campanulatus. C. pyroleflorus, Howell, 
Cat. Oreg. 15, and partly of A. Gray, Syn. Fl. 44, not of 
Bongard. Shrub 8 to 5 feet high, with few and stoutish 
ascending branches: leaves lanceolate, 1 to 3 inches long, 
tapering to a short petiole which, together with the veins 
beneath, is more or less strigose-hirsute with red hairs: 
flowers solitary or in pairs or threes, from lateral buds, on 
pedicels 4 inch long, these setose-hispid with red hairs: 
sepals ovate-oblong, densely ciliate with short gland-tipped
