2. E. armata, Watson. What appears to be the fruit of tliis species has been 

 brought by tlie Indians to Uw Wright of San Bernardino, from trees growing in the 

 interior of that county. They also ])rought to him a small black fruit which is re- 

 ferable to neither of tliese genera. The closer attention of collectors is invited to tlie

59. C. brevipes. Upon farther examination this proposed species must be 

 taken to bo a variety of C. fflnbom. It diflers from the latter in its shorter stem, in 

 the greater length of the lower bract of the upper spikes, which is as broad as the 

 leaves and much longer than the culm, and in its narrowly obovoid perigynia, 

 which are longer attenuate Ixdow, and nerveless, but finely striate towards the'' base.' 

 In both, the fibres of the lower shentlis are sparingly reticulate, the leaves scabrous, 

 the stylo enlarged at base, erect, jointed, and deciduous. — If. Booff.
