No. 8010, collected June 9, at Montague, Siskiyou county. 

 It is common at this place, there being a space of several acres 

 just east of the town completely covered with it, the bright yel- 

 low of its flowers in striking contrast with the brown of the ad- 

 joining plain. Small colonies of it may be seen at intervals 

 along the railroad throughout the Shasta valley. The type was 

 collected on the "Klamet River, Northern California," a point 

 only a few miles north of Montague. 



Isomeris globosa (Coville) 



Isonieris arborea globosa Coville, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash. 7. 

 7?>- 1892. 



No. 7628, collected April 7, on the slopes of the narrow 

 valley just east of Caliente, Kern county, the type locality. It 

 is abundant in the vicinity of Caliente, first appearing several 

 miles below the town, its range being approximately at eleva- 

 tions between 1000 and 2000 feet, as observed along the rail- 

 road. It again appears near McKittrick, at similar elevations 

 west of the town, but here on open gravelly slopes instead of on 

 precipitous rocky hills as at Caliente. Miss Eastwood has col- 

 lected it at a point still further west, on the boundary between 

 San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, Mr. Coville's 

 description certainly calls for a plant distinct from /. arborea, 

 for the differences he enumerates leave very little that can be 

 ''otherwise as the type form."

No. 7932, collected June i, along the railroad opposite Up-
