San Bernardino Mts., 6500 feet. 



Locs. Bear Valley, Parish 3761, 3078. The genuine form has been collected only in the 

 San Bernardino Mts., but the variants of A. fimbriatum simulate it very closely in a continuous 

 series.

 Co., Parry 390 (specifically in Big Bear Valley ace. to Parish).

 ovary crests long and thin, toothed. (Umbella sublaxa, pediculi lin. 8--10 longi; cristis ovarium

A. DAVISIAE Jones, Contrib. 12:78 (1908), type loe. granite rocks, Victorville, Mohave Desert, 

 is probably close to A. fimbriatum var. mohavense; it has 2 bracts; perianth-segments oval, 

 acute, rather rigid, white, green ribbed, % longer than the stamens; but the ovary is not 

 crested (ex. char.). 



A. DECIPIENS Jones, Contrib. 10:16 (1902) ; A. inyoensis Jones I.e. 10:86, type loe. "Sum- 

 mit, Owens Valley, 7000 ft.," seems near A. fimbriatum, but we have seen no specimens.
