(type) ; Cuddy Valley, in the same district, Hall, no. 6315. Much 

 like L. Germanorum Cham., of the seaboard, but differing in its 

 more persistent tomentum, entire leaves, glandular peduncles, 

 and pink marginal corollas. Also near L. Lemmoni Gray, of 

 Arizona and eastern California, from which it is distinguished 

 by the color of the flowers and the shape of the style-branches. 



2. L. glandulifera Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xvii. 207 (1882). 

 Stem erect, stoutish, paniculately much branched above the 



base, the whole plant 1.5 to 10 dm. high : lower part of stem and 

 lower leaves permanently white-tomentose ; upper leaves and in- 

 volucral bracts green, bearing few to numerous yellow tack- 

 shaped glands on their margins : lower leaves ovate to oblanceo- 

 late, toothed or cleft ; those of the branchlets numerous or even 

 crowded, lanceolate or linear, minute: involucre about 5 mm. 

 high, turbinate, 18 to 38-flowered : flowers all yellow ; marginal 

 corollas or some of them enlarged, more deeply cleft on the inner 

 side and simulating a palmately-lobed ligule : achenes flattened, 

 2 or 3-nerved : ray-pappus shorter than corolla ; disk-pappus as 

 long as corolla, fuscous, of about 35 bristles. 



Lower to middle California : common on plains of the Upper 

 Sonoran Zone, where the plants are conspicuously glandular and 

 heavy-scented; less plentiful in the lower part of the pine belt 

 (Transition Zone) in the mountains (San Jacinto Mts., Hall, no. 

 2626; and Grant, no. 687), where the glands are minute or quite 

 obsolete and the odor wanting. 



3. L. ramulosa tennis Gray, Bot. Calif, i. 307 (1876) ; Syn. 

 PLi. pt. 2, 162 (1884). 



Stems slender, erect but diffuse, the glabrate branches mi- 

 nutely granulose : leaves narrowly oblong, narrowed at base, den- 

 ticulate or entire, woolly when young, the upper much reduced 

 and entire, some of them clasping: involucre very narrow, 5 to 

 15-flowered; bracts granular, rarely bearing a few tack-shaped 

 glands: flowers purple, all regular or nearly so and alike: style- 

 appendages with minute setiform tip : achenes scarcely flattened, 

 4 or 5-nerved. 



Ace. to Gray this variety was gathered by Rothrock at 1550 

 in. alt., "head of Peru Creek," by which is probably meant Piru 

 Creek, a stream of northeastern Ventura County.
