the San Joaquin. On July 24 we camped at the very base of the 
mountain just above timber line. The only shrub seen here was 
Salix glauca villosa, but hardy thick-rooted perennials grew 
abundantly around the lakes, and fifty-seven species were 
gathered above 3350". Thirty-three of these were also found 
below timber line, leaving twenty-four strictly alpine species. 
Ascending the peak the vegetation grew more and more scanty, 
until at 4000™ only Draba Breweri, Erigeron compositus, and 
Polemonium confertum remained, while on the very summit, at 
4130”, the Polemonium was the sole representative of the whole 
series of phanogamous plants. 
The following species collected on this trip seem worthy of 
note, 
ERIGERON Bioomer! Parish, Erythea 6:87. Not rare in 
Tehipite valley, July 7, Hall & Chandler, no. 513. Determined 
by Mr. S. B. Parish. 
ER10GONUM NuDUM Dougl. An alpine form was collected 
near Mount Goddard at 3100". The slender stems are not 
over 2°" high and are nearly always simple and monocephalous, 
July 1900, Hall & Chandler, no. 662. 
AQUILEGIA PUBESCENS Coville, Contrib. U.S. Nat. Herb. 4: 5 
Among rocks on Mount Goddard at 3660™, July 1900, Bee & 
Chandler, no. 671. 
DoODECATHEON JEFFREYI redolens, n. ube 
robust, 4.5-6°" high, the herbage redolent with a strong odor: 
leaves erect, lanceolate or spatulate, 2.5-49" long including the 
slender winged petiole: inflorescence glandular pubescent: 
flowers invariably 5-merous: lower part of stamens and capsule 
included in the corolla tube, which is not closely reflexed. 
Along the lakes at the base of Mt. Goddard, 3400, July 25, 1900, Had/ 
& Chandler, no. 676. Type in the Herbarium of the University of California. 
This variety is easily distinguished in the field by the rank odor and by 
the shape of the corolla. The folding of the latter takes place well up on the 
tube, thus making the yellow band very prominent, while the purple ring at 
the base of the corolla in the species is lacking in the variety. 
ERIGERON SALsuGINosuS Gray. This plant, not rare at middle
