 7-8,000 feet." 



Range. Sierra Nevada north to southern Oregon and Idaho, and 

 in Nevada. 



Zone. Transition and Canadian. 



Specimens examined. Plumas County, Mrs. R. M. Austin ; Donner

 County, 7-8,000 feet, Brewer 2026 ; Yosemite, C. S. Sargent in 1878 ;

Selinum validum Congdon (Erythea, vol. 7, p. 185. 1900) is 

 unknown to me save from description, according to which it is very 

 close to the above species, and may be, as Coulter and Hose suspect, 

 merely a low altitude form ; this conjecture is all the more probable 

 since Congdon states that it is abundant about Wawona, Mariposa 

 County, and descends along the streams to the foothills of the west 

 slope.

 Rest, near the summit, Chesnut and Drew, July 12, 1889.
