  It 
  is 
  very 
  uncertain 
  where 
  they 
  were 
  collected. 
  The 
  original 
  

   label 
  says 
  "California," 
  but 
  Dr. 
  Gray 
  considered 
  this 
  a 
  mistake 
  and 
  

   thought 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  probably 
  from 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  islands. 
  In 
  the 
  Synop- 
  

   tical 
  Flora 
  Dr. 
  Gray 
  doubtfully 
  referred 
  here 
  as 
  a 
  variety, 
  Palmer's 
  Gua- 
  

   dalupe 
  Island 
  plant 
  (no. 
  -44, 
  76). 
  Mr. 
  Greene 
  has 
  collected 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  

   few 
  years 
  from 
  several 
  of 
  the 
  coast 
  islands 
  and 
  the 
  Calif 
  or 
  nian 
  penin- 
  

   sula, 
  and 
  referred 
  here 
  a 
  species 
  more 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  P. 
  Emoryi. 
  To 
  

   Mr. 
  T, 
  S. 
  Brandegee 
  belongs 
  the 
  credit 
  of 
  collecting 
  and 
  identifying 
  Tor- 
  

   rey's 
  old 
  species 
  and 
  referring 
  to 
  it 
  L^iphamia 
  peninsularis 
  Greene. 
  

   While 
  studying 
  Palmers 
  San 
  Quentin 
  plants, 
  I 
  had 
  independently 
  

   reached 
  the 
  same 
  conclusion 
  with 
  reference 
  to 
  P. 
  Fitchii,but 
  did 
  not 
  

   recognize 
  my 
  plant 
  as 
  the 
  Laphamia 
  peninsularis. 
  Since 
  then, 
  through 
  

   the 
  kindness 
  of 
  Dr.Britton, 
  I 
  have 
  studied 
  Torrey'a 
  specimen(the 
  only 
  type 
  

   specimen 
  in 
  existence), 
  and 
  have 
  confirmed 
  Mr. 
  Brandegee's 
  conclusion 
  

   that 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  L, 
  peninsularis. 
  The 
  type 
  is 
  a 
  mere 
  scrap 
  with 
  

   half 
  mature 
  akenes, 
  but 
  it 
  shows 
  *'the 
  two 
  approximate 
  nerves 
  at 
  each 
  

   margm," 
  the 
  style 
  tips, 
  and 
  no 
  signs 
  of 
  pappus, 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  close 
  viscid 
  

   pubescence. 
  The 
  following 
  are 
  the 
  stitions 
  and 
  collectors 
  of 
  this 
  species:

  From 
  the

  list 
  of 
  

   stations 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  seen 
  that 
  this 
  species, 
  which 
  for 
  35 
  years 
  has 
  been 
  al- 
  

   most 
  unknown, 
  is 
  really 
  a 
  common 
  species 
  of 
  the 
  peninsula 
  and 
  is 
  found 
  

   on 
  both 
  ocean 
  and 
  gulf 
  side, 
  and 
  has 
  not 
  yet 
  been 
  found 
  on 
  any 
  of 
  the
