uarrow panicles of white flowers. Except on the very yoi;ngest leaves or 

 branches, there is no appearance of pubescence on the plant. Ovary 

 without projecting lobes.— H. & A. in Bot. Beech., 329 (1840). 



In this distribution C. integerrimus is represented b}- 

 No. 24 from Calaveras Big Trees, No. 25 from Sisson, 

 and No. 26 from Alta. No. 21 is one of the interme- 

 diates approaching Parry i. No. 22 from the Geysers, So- 

 noma County, and No. 27 from Cahto, Mendocino Coun- 

 ty, are intermediates between C. integerrhniis and C. 

 farvifolius. Nos. 28 and 29, from the type locality are 

 C. Andersoni. 



all varnished, shining, nor resinous, nor exhaling the strong odor of C. 

 velutinus. —Tovvey says 0. velutinus has "axillary panicles." This is 

 probably a mistake, if we recollect rightly. These certainly are not 

 axillary. [Yo-Semite Valley, Madam Wertherman].— Proc. Cal. Acad., ii. 

 152 (1862). 



I C thyrsifloras var.? macrothyrsus: foliis ovatis acutis integerrimus 

 supra glabriusculis subtus canescenti-tomentosis; pauiculis interruptis 

 subfoliaceis. Hab. Banks of theUmpqua, Oregon.— A shrub 6-8 feet high; 

 the branches terete, often dotted with minute brown resinous papill*. 

 Leaves 1 to 2A inches long, moderately acute, grayish-tomentose underneath, 

 the veins prominent and somewhat silky-villous; petioles 3-5 lines long. 

 Flowers beautiful blue, in compound umbellate fascicles, which are ag- 

 gregated in a paniculate manner at the extremity of the branches, the 

 lowest fascicles arising from the axils of the uppermost leaves and some- 

 what distant from the others. This variety has leaves greatly resembling 

 those of C. Amerkanus, except that they are quite entire, while in the 

 inflorescence it approaches C. thyrsiflorus. The specimens were without 

 fruit.— Torr. in Bot. Wilkes Expd. 263 (1874). 



^C. Andersoni, n. sp. Smooth throughout; branches light green, glau- 

 cesent, younger shoots angular; leaves deep green above, entire, oblong-ovate 

 to oblanceolate, cuneate at base to a slender petiole, obscurely penninerved, 

 and paler beneath; inflorescence diff'usely thyrsoid, prolonged, leafy below, 

 flowers white, with very slender pedicels; fruit smooth, with thin, resinous 

 exocarp, and rounded cocci. Hahitat:~k tall shrub, 10-15 feet high, loosely 

 branched above, somewhat pendent, the prolonged inflorescence delicate 

 snow-white, flowers in May, fruit July. Santa Cruz Mountains, near Ben 

 Lomond; first collected by Dr. C. L. Anderson, 1887, whose name hereto- 

 fore so intimately connected with the botany of Santa Cruz, both on sea 

 and land, this attractive species properly commemorates.— -Parry in Proc. 

 Davenp. Acad, v, 172 (1889).
