margins : rays 20 or morp, short and narrow : stylc-appendagcs subulate-filiform : 

 akones linear, nearly glabrous : pappus white. — Proc. Am. Acad, viii. G.3G. 



Near Los Angeles, in a dry river-bed, BoJn.nder, 1873. Head 4 lines high. Rays 2 or 3 lines 

 long. In some of the few specimens seen there are chaffy scales among the flowers and a transfor- 

 mation of some of the disk-corollas to rays, which is doubtless abnormal. The species is peculiar 

 and anomalous, but belongs to the same group as the next. 



9. A. ericoides, Hook. Sc Arn. Shrub a foot or two high, much branched, 

 orect or decumbent, glabrous or cinereoUvS-pubescont, more or loss glutinous, exces- 

 sively liMvfy : loaves crowded and fasciclod, nearly t(Mete, the r.aulinn hliform and 

 lialf an inchtn- less in length, the fascicled ones only half as long and Itlunt : heads 

 corymbose and paniclcd, 7 - 10-(lowerod : involucre turbinate, shorter tiian the 

 disk ; its scales chartaceous, imbricated in few series, linear-oblong, obtuse, with 

 finely ciliato margins, the outermost passing into short and loose subulate bracts : 

 rays 3 or 4, short : style-appendages filiform-subulate : akenes glabrous : pappus 

 soft, tawny. — Ericameria microjthylla, Nutt., &c. 



Dry hills, Santa Barbara to San Francisco near the coast : common. A remarkable Ileath-like 

 shrub. Heads narrow, hardly half an inch long. 



10. A. resinosus. Gray. Shrubby, a span or so in height, very much branched, 

 glabrous, becoming very glutinous, leafy: leaves fdiform-linear, about an inch long, 

 acute, tapering to the base, mostly with some very short ones fiuscicled in their axils : 

 heads loosely corymbose, smaller than those of the preceding species, but with 

 rather more numerous flowers both of ray and disk, and^ the scales of the involucre 

 not ciliate : akenes pubescent. — Ericameria resinosa, Nutt. 1. c. 



Not yet ''ound in California, but may bo expected on the frontiers of Oregon. Ajtparently col- 

 lected as yot only by Nuttall, in the IMuo Moimtains of Oregon, along with A. nnrms. 



11. A. Bloomeri, Gray. Shrub a foot or two high, with numerous slender 

 virgato branches, glabrous, little if at all glutinous, leafy to the top : loaves narrowly 

 linear with tapering base, or spatulate-linear, mucronato, scarcely punctate, an inch 

 or two long: heads narrowly paniclod or corymbed, leafy- bractcd, 10-25-llowcred : 

 scales of the oblong cylindraceous involucre imbricated in 3 or 4 series, chartaceo- 

 coriaceous with a greenish midrib and scarious margins ; the inner linear-oblong, 

 thinner, and villose-ciliate, obtuse, a little shorter than the disk ; the outer shorter 

 and abruptly tipped with a subulate foliaceous appendage : rays 2 to 4 or solitary, 

 oblong, conspicuously oxsortml : style-appendages subulate-liliform ai\d much ox- 

 scrtod': akenes linear, finely i)ubcscent, glabrato : pappus whitish or ferruginou<». —

 in Bot. Wilkes Exp. t. 10, not of Nutt. 



Dry ridf^es and sterile plains ; head waters of the Sacramento (Dr. PlckrHnq) ; Mount SIwstA 

 at 6,000 feet (Brewer) ; Sierra Nevada east of the Yosemite, at 11,700 feet ; Sierra ^ alley (Urn- 

 mon) ; to Kern Co. (Rothrock) ; and in \V. Nevada, Bloomer, Anderson, Bolaiydrr. Heads 

 from two thirds to three quarters of an inch in length, with bright yellow ligulc ronspicuous 

 (half an inch long), and at least some of the outer involucral scales leafy-tipped in the manner of 

 Bmlnvin. Parryi an<l Howardii. The figure in the Hotany of the Wilkes Expedition docs not 

 repiescnt tlicse, although clearly made from a sl.'uder specimen of this species. The leaves varj- 

 from almost filiform to a line and a half in width. 



12. A. SUffruticosuS, Gray, 1. c. Woody at base, .sending up tufted almost 

 herbaceous branches a span or' more in height, minutely glandular-pubescent and 

 somewhat viscid throughout, leafy to the top, the corymbose or fastigiate branches 

 mostly terminated with single heads : leaves linear with narrowed base, or spatulat«, 

 mucronato-acuminate, not rigid : involucre hemispherical or oampaindate ; its scales 

 in fow s(n'ie9 and almost equal in length, lanceolafe, acute, thm. slightly glandular, 

 sonio of tho outermost foliaceoustipped or passing into f.-liaceous bracts : rays 3 to 

 9, exsertod (or rarely none) : disk llowors 20 to 30 : style-nppen.lages filiform : 

 akenes oblong-linear, compressed, pubescent: pappus i-atlier soft, whitish, nt length 

 ferruginous. — Marronerna suffruticosa, Nutt. 1. c.
