cal, acute, reddish, pubescent, scarce- 

 ly ciliate, less than y a in. long: calyx 

 hirtellous throughout, the triangular- 

 subulate teeth scarcely more so than 

 the tube." Greene, pitt 5:85. Bear

 MGNARDELLA VIMINEA Greene. 



"Evidently tall, the long somewhat 

 willowy branches in the herbaria 2 ft. 

 long, with internodes of 2 or 3 in., but 

 basal and presumably woody part of 

 stem not known; herbage not very 

 pale, somewhat glandularly puberu- 

 lent, especially toward the inflores- 

 cence; the few leaves lance-linear, 1- 

 1% in. long: verticillasters large, com- 

 monly 2, 1 above the other, but bracts 

 comparatively small, ovate to ellipti- 

 cal, not colored, pubescent and copi- 

 ously resinous-glandular, the longest 

 not longer than the calyxes, shortly 

 and rather indistinctly ciliate; calyx 

 pubescent along the nerves and resin- 

 dotted, teeth short, pubescent, pur- 

 plish." Greene, pitt 5:85. Mts. San

 MONARDELLA SANGUINEA Greene. 



"Allied to M. lanceolata, nearly as 

 large, but more slender, much more 

 freely and divaricately branching, 

 leaves and heads only y 2 as large, the 

 former mostly elliptic-lanceolate, only 

 tlrose of the lower main stem truly 

 lanceolate: bracts of the involucre nar- 

 rowly ovate, acute, scabrous-pubes- 

 cent: calyx teeth triangular-subulate, 

 merely villous-pubescent, without 

 spreading or hispid hairs even at the 

 base: corollas large and long-exserted 

 for the size of the head, of a dark pur- 

 ple-red." Greene, pitt 5:86. Julian, 

 Cal. (G. W. Dunn). 



OXYTHECA PARISHII Parry. 



"Plant slender, .sparingly and dicho- 

 tomously branched, 6-18 inches high; 

 radical leaves %-l inch long, obovate- 

 oblong, minutely ciliate-denticulate, 

 somewhat enlarged and subcordate at 

 base, with a short thickened clasping 

 petiole and distinct midrib; cauline 

 bracts small, trifid, shortly acuminate, 

 unilateral, w y ith a connate sheath 

 round the stem; stipitate glands con- 

 spicuous on the stems above the inter- 

 nodes; involucres on slender axillary 

 and terminal pedicels (%-2 inches 

 long), expanding into a short obscure 



tube conspicuously marked by longi- 

 tudinal nerves, which are prolonged 

 beyond the irregular margin into a di- 

 verging crown of slender acicular awns 

 (18-28), .somewhat unequal, about 2 

 lines in length, nearly twice the length 

 of the involucral tube; fl. 5-14, pedicel- 

 late, unequally developed, the more 

 mature reaching nearly to the summit 

 of the involucral awns, the smaller us- 

 ually staminate and abortive, with 

 bracteoles of 2 kinds, one linear-spatu- 

 late, pubescent and ciliate, the other 

 linear, about as long as the pedicels; 

 perianth 6-cleft nearly to the base, di- 

 visions ovate, pubescent on the out- 

 side, smooth within; .stamens 9, insert- 

 ed at the base; akene lenticular, ob- 

 tusely pointed, the small green embryo 

 with long curved radicle and accum- 

 bent Cotyledons." Parry, Davenport

 THYSANOCARPUS CONCHl'LIFERUS 



"Glabrous and glaucous, 3-10 inches 

 high, rather stout and branching: up- 

 permost leaves remotely toothed, the 

 middle and lower as remotely linear- 

 lofeed (the lobes straight and divari- 

 cate), all except the lowest auriculate- 

 clasping: racemes short and dense: 

 petals spatulate-oblong, nearly I 1 /* 

 lines long, light purple: samara l 1 ^ 

 lines long, cymbiform, the somewhat 

 conduplicate margin parted into spat- 

 ulate lobes, or these coherent above, 

 leaving narrowly oblong perforations: 

 style y z line long beyond the margin of 

 the fruit: pedicels % inch long, firm 

 but recurved." Greene, Pittonia 1:31 

 (amended description). 



"Common 'on mossy shelves and 

 crevices of the high rocky summits 

 and northward slopes of Santa Cruz 

 Island." Greene, Torr cl b 13:218 (N

 HELIANTHEMUM SCOPARIUM Nutt. 



Perennial, woody at base, much 

 branched, pubescent with stellate hairs 

 or glabrate, 1 ft. high; upper branches 

 green and slender: leaves narrowly lin- 

 ear, one-third to one inch long, alter- 

 nate: fls on slender pedicels, solitary 

 or subcorymbose at ends of branchlets: 

 sepals % in. long: stamens about 20:
