ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO VOL. I. 453 



G. ANGULOSUM, Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. xi. 74, from Guadalupe Island (Palmer), is a simi- 

 lar hispid species, but woody at base, the stout stems and branches prominently 5-7-angled: 

 leaves numerous, narrowly oblong, 3 or 4 lines long, 5 to 7 in a whorl : flowers greenish white, 

 solitary and terminal : ovary smooth on a short erect or arcuate pedicel. 



2. Gr. Nuttallii, Gray. Stems usually slender and elongated, retrorsely hispid 

 or glabrous, often naked at base : leaves usually small (1 to 3 lines long), linear to 

 oblong, in fours, rather thin : flowers polygamo-dioecious, the sterile cymose, the 

 fertile solitary: fruit smooth, nearly 1^ lines broad, on erect or arcuate pedicels 

 about a Hue long. 



In the Coast Ranges from San Francisco to San Diego. Confounded in the former description 

 with specimens of the following, which had not been supposed to belong to the Relbunium section. 



2 a . (8.) Gr. Bolanderi, Gray. Usually stouter, from a thick woody rootstock, 

 often smooth or nearly so : leaves usually larger (3 to 6 lines long), rather thick : 

 fruit white, on slender reftexed or arcuate pedicels 2 to 4 lines long. G. margari- 

 coccum, Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. xiii. 371, the fertile form. 



In the Sierra Nevada, from the Yosemite to Sierra County ; apparently also from Lake and 

 Humboldt Counties ( Torrey, Rattan), and San Bernardino Mountains, Parry & Lemmon, n. 152. 

 Originally described from sterile specimens. G. pubens also probably belongs to this group.
