Type locality. 'West? all's meadows, Yosemite Valley, lat. 8,000 

 feet, in wet places, Bolander." 



Range. Sierra Nevada. 



Zone. Canadian. 



Specimens examined. "Westf all's meadows, 8,000 feet, Bolander 

 4964'; between Peregoy's and Glacier Point, 7-8,000 feet, A. Gray in 

 1872; Hockett's meadows, Tulare County, Culbertson (B 4405) ;

Dr. Rydberg considers that the specimens collected by Lemmon 

 in Sierra County and cited by Brewer and Watson in .the Bot. Calif., 

 vol. 1, p. 183 to represent a new species which is densely silvery white 

 rather than "somewhat silky, but not silvery- white, " the phrase with 

 which he describes the present species (/. unguiculata Gray) ; I have 

 had no opportunity to examine the Lemmon specimens and wish now 

 merely to call attention to Ivesia sericoleuca Ryb. (N. Am. FL, vol. 

 22, p. 284. 1908), a species said to be restricted to the Sierra Nevada.
