with undulate margins; berries cuneate at base and so densely 
clustered as to conceal upper involucres; calyx divisions hidden 
in dense wool and at some distance below the base of the styles. 
This is represented in the Gray Herbarium by specimens collected by 
O. D. Allen at Pasadena, February 1885, and by a fragmentary specimen 
collected by H. C. Ford at Santa Barbara, April 1881. The best and most 
complete specimens have been collected by George Grant on Echo Mountain, 
back of the hotel. This mountain is a spur of Mount Lowe. 
GaRRYA ELLIPTICA Lindl.—This species is commonin the Coast 
Mountains and extends from the Columbia River on the north 
to the southern part of the Santa Lucia Mountains on the south. 
Easily distinguished from other species by the large oval or 
elliptical leaves, strongly undulate. There is a great contrast 
between the almost smooth, dark green, glossy upper surface of 
the leaves and the white tomentose lower surface clothed with 
densely matted curly and wavy hairs. The calyx divisions are 
so small, so close to the pointed base of the styles, and so con- 
cealed by the dense wool that it is only by the most careful 
search that they can be found. The berry is abruptly short- 
acuminate at base. The bushes that grow in the inner range of 
hills have narrower and more pointed leaves than those that 
grow near the coast; but in all other respects seem identical. 
Garrya Congdoni, sp. nov.—Stems_ brownish-red, youngest 
twigs white-tomentose. Leaves narrowly oblong to oval and 
elliptical, 3-5 °™ long, 1-3 °™ wide, tapering at both ends with 
recurved mucro at apex; petiole stout, keeled, 5™™ long; mar- 
gins glabrous, thickened, entire or slightly undulate; upper sur- 
face glossy, yellowish-green, sparingly pubescent with curly or 
wavy hairs, the lower clothed with dense white tomentum con- 
sisting of curly and wavy hairs somewhat upwardly appressed 
but matted and tangled; veins distinct. Staminate aments 
humerous, varying in length; involucres cuneate at base, short- 
acuminate at each end with an obscure rounded tooth on each 
side of the middle, densely tomentose throughout, pedicels sur- 
passed by the perianth; perianth with oval divisions united at 
top and clothed with long, wavy hairs. 
Neither the pistillate flowers nor the fruits have been collected. The 
type was collected by /. W. Congdon, in whose honor it is named, near
