 (J'. G. Lemmon 17). 



This species is most nearly allied to E. Wrightii 'Gray , 

 but the leaves are broader and much less finely cut, and the 

 very conspicuous involucral bracts are unlike those of am

Orcutt in N. Lower California, where it blooms as earlv as 

 March. 



Sanicula bipinnata H. & A. was collected by Mr. Thos. 

 Howell (no. 799), April 1889, in N. California and S. Ore- 

 gon, thus extending the known range of this species con- 

 siderably northward. Mr. Howell's plants are lower and 

 more bushy-branching from the base than heretofore noted. 

 They range from 3$ to 8 in. high above ground. 



Sanicula bipixxatifida Dougl. should be credited with 

 larger fruit than given in our Rev. Umbell. (p. 106). Nu- 

 merous specimens show fruit reaching 2 lines in length. 



Fceniculum vulgare Gaertn., the "cultivated fennel,'' 

 seems to be common in California. It is reported by Prof. 

 E.L.Greene as abundant, and is also sent bv Dr.^H. E. 

 Hasse from Los Angeles, where he reports it as "escaped 

 and apparently established/' 



Apiastrum angustikolium Nutt. has been collected in 

 San Diego county, California {Orcutt), Lower California, 

 flowering in February (Palmer 643), and on Cedros Island 

 (Palmer 679), all in 1889. Jt is the only known umbellifer 

 on Cedros Island, where it grows " under bushes in canons." 

 Musexium div aricatum Nutt. has been sent in fine con- 

 dition by Dr. V. Havard from Fort Buford. Dakota, where it 

 occurs in great abundance. We find that the seed-face ma} 

 be plane as well as somewhat concave. 



Musenium tenuifolium Nutt. has at last been rediscov- 

 ered in fruit. In our Revision (p. in) we stated that the
