CasTANEA CHRYSOLEPIS, Hook.—A shrub 4° high. On Olanche Mount- 
ain, at from 8—10,000 feet altitude (344). 
LORANTHACE. 
By Dr. GEORGE ENGELMANN. 
ARCEUTHOBIUM OCCIDENTALE, Engelm., in Brewer & Watson’s Fl. Cal. 
vol. 2, ined.—On Pinus Sabiana in Walker’s Basin, Rothrock (429), in 1875. 
Dr. Rothrock gives quite a graphic account of the shower of seeds expelled 
from the berries to the distance of ten feet, when on November 12th he 
shook a limb on which the parasite grew. Also collected on Mount Pifos, 
on a form of Pinus ponderosa. 
SAURUREZ. 
Anemopsis Cativornica, Hook.—Santa Barbara (3). 
CONIFER. 
By Dr. GEORGE ENGELMANN. 
Pinus Monopuyiyos, Torr. & Fremont.—Common at middle altitudes. 
Pinus Batrouriana, Murr., var.—Was found on Mount Whitney (404). 
By its leaves in fives, with loose, deciduous sheaths, entire margins, and 
peripheral (generally 2 dorsal) ducts, this species is closely allied to P. 
flecilis, and still more to the Cembroides, but the small, large-winged seeds 
distinguish it from them. The smoothness of the leaf-edges is a feature 
peculiar to a geographical group of Pines, otherwise pretty distinct; we 
find it always accompanied by deciduous sheaths, but many other species 
with deciduous sheaths have serrulate leaves. 
Prus Saprntana, Dougl—Walker’s Basin, at 3,300 feet altitude. 
Juniperus Cauirornica, Carr.—A large shrub or small tree with thick 
branchlets; leaves mostly in threes, with minutely fringed edges; berries 
- mostly oval, 5-6” long, glaucous-reddish, dry and sweetish, with one or 
_ sometimes two large seeds; cotyledons about 5.—Conif 58; Engelm. Junip. 
588. Kern River, at 9,800 feet altitude, Rothrock (837), 1875. The 
specimen is a small leaf-branch only, without fruit, so that the name may be
