Quercus chrysolepis Palmeri Engelm. Trans. St. Louis Acad. 3: 
Type locality: Not ascertained. 
Distribution: Mountains of southern San Diego County south- 
ward into Lower California. This oak has been reported from 
Vandeventer’s ranch, San Jacinto Mountains, otherwise it is 
known within the state only in the region where it was first dis- 
covered, which is a small grove about five miles west of Jacumba 
Hot Spring (Larken’s Station). It probably belongs to the 
pifion belt of the Upper Sonoran.

Santa Monica Mountains it occurs in the San Fernando, Simi, 
Santa Clara, and Ojai Valleys. On the desert slopes of the moun-

the western border of Antelope Valley to the vicinity of Elizabeth 
Lake, Liebre Mountains. Upper Sonoran.
