Malcomia africana (Willd.) R. Br. Another native of 

 the Mediterranean region, determined for me by Professor Fer- 

 nald. This strange mustard was found on a railroad "fill" in 

 Provo canyon, a short distance below the station known as Falls. 

 The plants were very much flattened out when in packed soil 

 between the ties; but those on the embankment slopes had the 

 main stem erect and some of the branches ascending. The four 

 sided siliques suggested, to me, the genus Erysimum; but the 

 small purple petals indicated other affinities, and as all environ- 

 mental evidences pointed to its being an introduced plant, I 

 sought the help of others for its determination. 



Tho I walked some thirteen miles along the railroad in 

 Provo canyon that trip, and noticed it nowhere except on one 

 certain embankment or fill, I have no doubt that it may be found 

 elsewhere about Provo and in the state. My collection is: No. 

 /92J, Utah county, Provo canyon, 23 July, 1909. 



Bromus japonicus Thunb. Taken by Mr. A. O. Garrett 

 and myself, along Red Butte creek, near Salt Lake City, both 

 in the canyon and out on the bench at the base of the moun- 

 tains, being seen nowhere else. Determined by A. S. Hitch- 

 cock. No. 1829, Salt Lake county, 16 July, 1909; no. /9/0, 

 Salt Lake county, 21 July, 1909.
