DoprcatHron Merapia, L., var. LATILOBUM (Gray, Fl. Cal. 1, page 
467).—One of the best-marked varieties of this troublesome species, 
characterized by the “thinner, broader, wndulate-toothed leaves, which 
are suddenly contracted into a petiole, and calyx-lobes about half as long 
as the capsule”.—Colorado, New Mexico (72); Arizona. (Albino form from 
Mount Graham, at 9,250 feet, 409.) Collected also by Loew in Arizona, 
but no locality assigned. Nevada.

R. Rep. 7, t. 7)—Branching from a woody base, ,6’-2° high, slightly 
hispidly-puberulent; leaves thickish, entire, margins somewhat revolute, 
1-2" wide and 3-10” long ; yellow flowers, in a corymb or panicle, the 7-10 
setaceous lobes of the calyx somewhat exceeding the tube of the corolla, 
and also a little longer than the mature capsule—Santa Fé, N. Mex. (60), 
and Southern Arizona (561). 
Menopora scoparia, Engelm. (Fl. Cal. 1, p. 471). (M. scabra, var. 
glabrescens, Gray in Watson’s Cat. Pl. Wheeler, 15.)—Differs from the 
above in being smoother, having ordinarily only 5-6 lobes to the calyx, 
and these not longer than the tube of the corolla.—Arizona.

FRaxINUS corIaces, Watson, Amer. Nat. 7, 302.—*“ Leaflets 1-2 pairs, 
coriaceous, obovate or oblong, 1-2’ long, truncate or rounded at the apex 
* Menopora, H. B. K.—* Calyx with a short and turbinate tube, and 5-14 narrow lobes from its 
truncate border. Corolla campanulate, funnel form or almost rotate, mostly 5-lobed; the lobes imbri- 
maturity, circumcissile, the upper part of each lobe falling off as a lid leaving the scarious membrana- 
ceous Seeds 2 (or rarely fewer in each cell), ascending, large and with a fleshy, or when dry a 
spongy outer coat, destitute of albumen.—Low and undershrabby or nearly herbaceous plants; with 
sessile leaves, not rarely alternate and terminal, mostly somewhat cymose flowers, which are rather 
showy.”—F. Cal. 1, p. 471.
