 western Texas from Devil's river to the Pecos and Limpio ; also at the Copper Mines. (No. 

 1029 and 2459, Berlandier.) The var. major, Torr. L c. t, 16, seems to pass gradually into the 

 small-fruited form. They are found together, and the variety occurs also in Sonera. At Sau 

 Fernando, beyond Los Angeles, Dr. Parry found a Juglans iu flower, which is probably a 

 variety of J. rupestris. The leaflets are 11-13, ovate-oblong, rather obtuse and sharply serrate. 

 He did not obtain the fruit.
