species seems to be well marked in fruit by the small oil- 

 tube contained in each of the dorsal and intermediate ribs, 

 but Mr. Lemmon's specimens show a minutely pubescent foli- 

 age. The reference to Mr. E. L. Greene's plant (Rev. Um- 

 bell. 66) should be changed so as to read Siskiyou county. 



1876 (no. 732). 



Peucedanum Martindalei C. & R., var. angustatum 

 C. & R., has been sent from near Ellensburg, Washington, by 

 G. R. Vasey, August, 1889. His specimens show that the 

 inflorescence may be somewhat puberulent as well as gla- 

 brous. 



Peucedanum Canbyi C. & R. has been collected by Dr. 

 V. Havard in the Spokane River region of Washington. 



Peucedanum Hassei. Tall caulescent, stout, 2 feet or more 



high, glabrous and somewhat glaucous, from a long slender 

 woody root: leaves biternate, on very long petioles (some- 

 times as much as 10 in. including petiole) ; leaflets broadly 

 ovate with wedge-shaped base, irregularly lobed, coarsely 

 mucronate-toothed, 1 to 4 in. long, reaching 2^ in. in breadth: 

 umbel long-peduncled, equally 8 to 18 rayed, with involucels 

 of bractlets which vary from rather short linear-setaceous to 

 oblanceolate, foliaceous, entire or toothed and much exceed- 

 ing the rays ; rays 2 to 4 in. long ; pedicels 6 to 8 lines long : 

 flowers yellow : fruit glabrous, with broad wings : oil-tubes 

 solitary m the intervals. 



Los Angeles county, California, March 27, 1888 {Dr. H. 

 E. Hasse). Distributed as Ferula Calif ornica. 



This is an interesting addition to the Euryftera section 

 on account of its tall caulescent habit, and in "this respect the 

 section character should be modilied. In its general habit it 

 bears some resemblance to Leftotcenia Californica, but can 

 be distinguished from that species even by its leaflet charac- 

 ters, while the fruit is evidently that of Peucedanum, 



Peucedanum Torreyi. Short caulescent, 3 to 12 in. high, 



glabrous, slender, clothed at base with old leaf-sheaths: 

 leaves small, ternate-pinnate or bipinnate, with very short 

 (i to 3 lines) linear acute-tipped segments: umbel unequally 

 few-rayed, with involucels of 1 or 2 small bractlets or none ; 

 rays an inch long or less ; pedicels a line or two long : flowers 

 yellow; calyx-teeth small or obsolete: fruit narrowly ob- 

 long, 4 to 6 lines long, with wings not half as broad as body : 

 oil-tubes solitary in the intervals. — Described without name 

 in Bot. Calif, i. 263, as a plant closely allied to Podoscia- 

 dium.
