GarryA VEATCHII Kellogg.— Leaves ovate-lanceolate, acumi- 
nate at apex, rounded or oblique at base, entire or the youngest 
leaves very slightly undulate; upper surface except in youngest 
leaves smooth and shining, lower densely clothed with white 
tomentum consisting of short, very fine, closely curled hairs. Ber- 
ries densely clustered and rounded at base without a sign of point 
or pedicel, apex beaked by the united base of the styles, calyx 
divisions minute, completely hidden amid dense hairs at top, a 
short distance below the styles. 
The berries are so closely clustered and sessile that none of the involucres 
except the very lowest are visible in the type. The type was collected ” 
Cedros Island by Dr. Veatch and is now in the Herbarium of the California 
Academy of Sciences. 
Garrya VEATCHI! Palmeri, nom. nov. (G. flavescens Palmert 
Watson Bot. Cal. 1: 276).— Placed here on account of the char- 
acter of the pubescence, which is that of G. Veatchii instead of 
G. flavescens. Distinguished from typical G. Veatchu by the 
broader leaves, generally oval, shortly acuminate or almost aris- 
tate, slightly undulate. Berries cuneate at base, the lower almost 
pedicellate; apex beaked by the united base of the styles and the 
two calyx divisions, which are prominent and close to the base 
of the styles; involucres even of the ultimate flowers easily dis- 
tinguished and the lower conspicuously foliaceous. 
The type was collected by Dr. E. Palmer at Milquatay, 60 miles (95*") 
from San Diego on the road to Fort Yuma. This, as well as two specimens 
collected by C. R. Orcutt, one near Campo, Lower California (no. goo ) and one 
rom Hansons, Lower California, April 21, 1885, are in the Gray Herbarium. 
Here belong also no. 899 (#.M. Hai/) collected on dry slopes in Lytle Creek 
Cafion, Southern California, April 24, 1898, and no. 2805 (Z. R. Abrams) from 
the same locality, July 15, 1902. 
GarrYA VEATCHII undulata, var. nov.—Differs from typical 
G. Veatchit in having oval or elliptical obtuse or aristate leaves
