1. AMELANCHIER PALLIDA Greene, Fl, Fran. 53. 1891. 
Type locality: “Common or dry hills of the northern and north- 
eastern parts of the State [California].” 
Distribution: I have seen no authentic specimens of this species, 
but the specimens here referred to it answer the description. 
The distribution, as originally given, is therefore greatly extended. 
Transition. 
Specimens examined: Water Canyon, Tehachapi Mountains, 
Abrams (9 McGregor 490; Cuiamaca Lake, Cuiamaca Mountains, 
Abrams 30912. 
2. AMELANCHIER VENULOSA Greene, Pittonia 4: 21. 1899. 
Type locality: “Cushenberry Springs, in Southern California.” 
Distribution: Apparently confined to the pinion belt and the 
Transition Zone of the San Gabriel and the San Bernardino Moun- 
tains. The specimens from Dry Lake are not typical, and possibly 
are nearer the Sierra Nevada plant which has recently been named 
A. siskiyouensis. 
Specimens examined: Swartout Canyon, San Gabriel Moun- 
tains, Abrams &F McGregor 633; Fawnskin Park, San Bernardino 
Mountains, Parish 4992; Hathaway Flat, San Bernardino Moun-

Distribution: Only known from the Topatopa Mountains, but 
probably occurs elsewhere in the Transition Zone in the mountains 
of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
