These errors were found among specimens loaned from the U. S. 

 National Herbarium ; Gray Herbarium, Harvard ; Field Columbian 

 Museum. Chicago ; Herbarium of the Shaw Botanical Garden, St. 

 Louis ; Herbarium of the University of California ; Herbarium of 

 the University of Wyoming; and from the Herbarium of the Ari- 

 zona Experiment Station, Tucson. These specimens represented 

 collections from all parts of the United States, Mexico, South 

 America, Europe, Asia and a few specimens from Africa. The 

 foreign specimens were used in establishing the identity of the three 

 species studied and as standards of comparison for specimens from 

 the United States. 



Grateful acknowledgment is made to the curators of the herbaria 

 above named for the loan of collections and to Dr. C. O. Rosendahl,
