 EUELLIA, sp. 



Beloperone Californica Benth. 



Verbena, sp. 



LiPPIA, sp. 



Teucrium glandulosum Kell. 



Hyptis Emoryi Torr. 



Stachys coccinea Jacq. 



Plantago Patagonica Jacq. 



Abronia maritima Lam. 



Abronia gracilis Benth. — Probably a form of A. umhel- 

 lata. 



Mirabilis L^vis (Benth.) Oxyhaplius Icevis 'Benih.. M. Cal- 

 ifornica Gray. — Mr. Bryant's specimens, brought from 

 Magdalena Bay, are nearly but not quite glabrous, the ine- 

 quality of the involucral lobes variable and often not greater 

 than is found in our Calif ornian forms. 



Allionia ingarnata L. 



Pterostegia macroptera Benth. 



Dr. Parry and Mr. Greene propose a new genus, Harfor- 

 dia, for this species, P. galioides Greene, which he considers 

 identical with it; and P. fruticosa Greene, from Oedros Is- 

 land, because, as they state, it "differs from Pterostegia in 

 its perennial habit, its axile excentric embryo, and from all 

 known Eriogonese in its dicecious flowers." 



That the above statements are, to a cej-tain extent, erro- 

 neous is shown by these specimens brought from the original 

 locality.
