1903] NOTES ON GARRYA 463 
the leaves, 2° or more, the more loosely fruiting aments, the 
peduncles more than twice as long as the involucres, and the 
pedicels equaling or surpassing the involucres. The berries, 
which turn black when dry, are tipped with the two styles and 
the conspicuously spreading calyx divisions opposite, giving the 
appearance of four styles when the stigmas have disappeared 
The pedicels in some of the staminate flowers are twice as long 
as the involucres, and inthe fruiting aments vary from once to 
thrice as long. 
This was abundant at Twin Lakes, the head waters of Cafion Creek, 
Trinity county, and was collected with immature fruit July 10, 1901. A sin- 
gle bush with dried staminate aments was found from which the comparison 
with the flowers of typical G. FremontiZ was made. 
Garrya salicifolia, sp. nov.— Stems slender, diffusely branched, 
marked and roughened by the lenticels; younger stems slightly 
pubescent. Leaves lanceolate, attenuate at each end, thin and 
coriaceous, veiny, glabrous or with few fine, scattered hairs 
chiefly on the margins, 3-6°™ long, 1-1.5%™ wide; petioles 
slender, 5—10™™ long, angled, pubescent. Aments erect in fruit, 
sparingly branched at base, slender, angled, slightly pubescent ; 
bracts similar to the leaves but much smaller, 5-1o™™ long, 
I-2™" wide. Berries globose, subsessile, generally two to each 
whorl, tipped when the styles fall away with a roundish, rough 
Cap. 
This is no. 259 Brandegee. It was collected at Sierra de la Laguna, 
Lower California, January 23,1890. The smooth, willow-like leaves are very 
characteristic and sufficiently distinguish it from allied species. It is related 
and nearest to G. /aurifolia Benth., but that has much larger leaves and 
differently shaped berries. It also approaches G. /ongifolia Rose, from 
which it differs in pubescence, foliage, and habit. 
My most hearty thanks are due to Dr. B. L. Robinson, of the 
Gray Herbarium, Mrs. T. S. Brandegee, Mr. H. M. Hall, of the 
University of California, and Mr. Le Roy Abrams, of Stanford 
University, for the generous loan of valuable specimens.
