Santa Catalina mountains, without number, collected in July, 



1905, by Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Lemmon; three unnumbered sheets 

 from the same mor.ntains, collected at Soldier Camp, Au<,nist 7, 



1906, by Professor J. J. Thornber and Dr. and Mrs. B. H. Liv- 

 ingston, one of these bearing yellow flowers, but otherwise quite 

 typical; one sheet from the Huachuca mountains, where it grows 

 on semi'shaded north slopes in Miller canyon, as collected by L. 

 N, Goodding, his no. j2(). 



Here belong the following specimens from New Mexico: 

 Mogollon mountains, 1881, H. H. Rusby, 317; on Mogollon 

 creek in the Mogollon mountains, altitude 2700 meters, 1903, 

 Metcalfe 233 (distributed as C. linariaefolia Benth., with which, 

 of course, it has no relationship). Specimens have been seen 

 from the Black Range as well, besides several more from the 

 Mogollones. 



Some time ago New Mexican specimens of this plant were 

 sent to Dr. P. A. Rydberg, who referred them to C. lauta A. 

 Nelson. Perhaps its affinity is with that species, but the plant 

 of Wyoming and Colorado has crimson or rose-colored bracts in- 

 stead of scarlet, and its stems are glabrous, at least below, besides 

 being very much stouter and more succulent. 



^ SENECJO LANATIFOLIUS Osterhout 



By George E. Osterhout 



In the New Manual of Rocky Mountain Botany Professor 

 Nelson has reduced Senecio lanatifoliiis to Senecio Fendleri A. 

 Gray, aad says that it "has been collected but once and the spe- 

 cimens look as if they might be abnormal." The plants are not 

 abnormal in the general sense of the word — a few plants do not 

 differ in some peculiar character from the many others of the 

 same species. It seems moreover to be separated from Senecio 

 Fendleri by good and important characters, and has the marks 

 of a good species, easily seperable from all other species of the 

 genus. In saying, however, that it has been collected but once,
