in diameter, yellowish, the edge green-rimmed, the hooked beak 

 nearly 2 mm. long, the base broad, the point slender. 



The type is no. 7912, collected May 31, 1905, on hills about 

 one mile back of Middle Creek station near Keswick, Shasta 

 county, California, growing in damp ground near a little stream. 

 This species, if previously collected, has no doubt been called 

 either R. californiciis or R. occidentalism but can not well be re- 

 feraed to either. Typical californicus has smaller, differently 

 shaped akenes, more numerous glossy petals, and dissimilar 

 leaves. True occidentalis from near the mouth of the Columbia 

 river is rare, though the name is often used for something else. 



PAPAVERACEAE 



Hksperomecon lineare (Benth.) Greene, Pittonia, 5: 146. 

 1903. 

 Platy stigma lineare Benth. Trans. Hort. Soc. II. 1: 407. 



No. 7807, collected May i, on the first ridge west of Keene 

 station in the Tehachapi mountains, Kern county. This is the 

 place where Mrs. Curran obtained her specimens in 1884, and it 

 is abundant within a limited area, growing in grassy open places. 

 x\ccording to Professor Greene this species has been found at no 

 other place in recent years, the only other specimen known 

 being the original of Douglas, and the place where he found it 

 is not known. The scapiform peduncles are pubescent with 

 spreading, somewhat wavy hairs, the petals marked with orange 

 spots at both base and apex, or in some plants at base only, 



Pi^ATYSTEMON ANEMONOIDES Greene, Pittonia, 5: 177. 1903.? 

 No. 7603, collected April 6, on the rising ground back of 

 Kern City, Kern county, in both flower and fruit. This is not 

 typical P. anemonoides^ as shown both by the type and descrip- 

 tion, but agrees no better wnth the other species. The differ- 

 ences are: petals not "narrow, mostly spatulate-oblong," but 

 broadly obovate, about 12 mm. long, 8 or 9 mm. wide, and the 

 carpels are glabrous. Miss Eastwood collected this same plant
