STERCULIACEZ. 
Fremontia Cauirornica, Torr.—Known to the miners and ranchmen 
near Fort Tejon as “Slippery Elm.” 'The inner bark abounds in mucila- 
ginous properties when moistened, and is used as a substitute for Ulmus 
Julva. I. e. p. 88. 
7 GERANIACE. 
Eropium cicutarium, L’Her.—Santa Barbara (158), where it is by 
many supposed not to have been introduced. It is somewhat remarkable 
that widely diffused as this plant is, I have never yet seen it growing 
where its introduction from Europe was not to my mind the most natural 
way of accounting for its presence, usually sg the neighborhood of 
ranches and towns. J. c. p. 94.

reason. Santa Barbara (108). (226), head of Peru Creek, at 5,150 feet 
altitude, appears to be var. TOMENTELLA, Gray, of this same species; /. c. p.

lie, and on which they browse. At middle altitudes (854). This shrub is 
among the number that go to make up the dense chaparral of the Califor- 
nia hillsides; 7. ¢. p. 103. 
Creanoruus spinosus, Nutt.—Santa Barbara (132), /. c. p. 103.
