1906] ELMER—NEW WESTERN PLANTS 325 
older ones subglabrous: leaves sessile, obovate or linear-oblong, entire or ob- 
scurely apiculate above the middle, apex obtuse, attenuate toward the base, 5 to 
2o™™ long, the larger ones 5™™ wide: pedicels of solitary axillary flowers not 
exceeding 5™™ in length: calyx 8™™ long, compressed, somewhat inflated below 
the middle; the two upper parallel lobes a trifle longer than the lower and lateral 
ones, with 5 short and obtuse teeth: crimson corolla little exceeding the calyx, 
slenderly tubular, conspicuously constricted below the limb, pubescent on the 
exterior; limb barely bilabiate, the broadly rounded segments rotately spreading: 
Stamens 4, all anther-bearing; filaments slender, inserted upon the corolla at 
the middle; anthers o.5™™ long, comparatively broad, widely spreading: style 
glabrous, erect, bearing flattened lobed stigmas; ovary smooth, conically elon- 
ated. 
LUPINUS POLYPHYLLUS Lindl. 
This magnificent seacoast lupine was found as far south as San Pedro, San 
Mateo County, California, May 1903. At this station it grew in wet adobe soil, 
reached a height of 2™, and is succulent and apparently an annual. The larger 
leaves were of an enormous size, and some of the flowering spikes exceeded the 
length of a man’s arm. Flowers large, dense, with blue wings and purplish 
banner. Pods persistent, densely covered with soft long yellow ish-white hairs. 
Distributed under no. 4444 
CAMPANULA EXIGUA Rattan. 
No. 4357 was collected in May 1903 along La Puerta Creek, Stanislaus County, 
California. It was found on a dry mountain side composed chiefly of small 
rocks, and on gravelly embankments of the creek. At first it reminded me of 
a Gilia in growth and habitat. The flowers are large and showy: corolla bluish 
white, at first appearing tubular, ultimately campanulate: styles wholly included, 
aring 3 revolute stigmas; dilated bases of the filaments not ciliate; capsule 
dehiscing regularly on the sides, 3-celled; seeds numerous, 0,75™™ long, half 
as wide, compressed, shining light brown, inserted upon 3 conspicuously enlarged 
placentae centrally attached to the main axis. 
SALIX BREWERI Bebb. 
The type of this willow was collected by W. H. BREwrr on San Carlos Moun- 
tains of middle California, and described in Bot. Calif. 2:88. 1880. Since then 
it has been reported from only a few localities. In May 1993, while making a 
botanical trip from Livermore, California, through San Antonio and Adobe 
valleys, I found it in fine fruit, and distributed it under no. 4648. It is quite 
abundant along the Little Colorado, Sweet Water Creek, and on the headwaters 
of the La Puerta, all of which rise on Red Mountain, Santa Clara County, Cali- 
fornia. This species was at once distinguished from the other willows, and 
bears a remarkable similarity to Salvia mellifera Greene 
It is a shrub 1 to 2™ high, rather gracefully branched from near the base;
