I had formerly seen only flowering specimens of ^. Coulteri and fruiting ones of the present species; 

 I have now before me both flowering and fruiting specimens of both, and find that they differ considerably 

 in both states as well as in their geographical station.

I have not seen this species. It must be nearly allied to A. Coulteri ; but the character does not alto- 

 gether agree.
