No. 7422, collected May 16, 1904, in Los Gatos canyon, 

 Santa Clara county, about a mile above Los Gatos, on a steep 

 slope facing the north, the soil rich and loose, the place shaded 

 by trees. It was very abundant, almost covering the ground 

 over a considerable area. This, apparently the second station 

 reported, is very differently situated from the original one on 

 "sandy hills in path of strong daily sea-winds, San Luis Obispo 

 County, Mrs. R. W. Summers, June, 1883." Determined by 

 Dr. J. N. Rose.

No. 7576, collected March 22, on the eastern slope of the 

 hill east of South Butte, Marysville Buttes, Sutter county. It 

 is plentiful at middle elevations on this ridge, barely in flower 

 on this date. Found by Hartweg "in solo glareoso vallis Sacra- 

 mento," probably near Chico, a point about 35 miles further 

 north.

No. 7480, collected June 2, 1904, at Lexington near Los 

 Gatos, Santa Clara county, growing on and about rocks. It is 

 not uncommon in the surrounding hills. This may be some 

 other species, perhaps D. paniculata^ the type of which came 

 from Niles on the other side of the Santa Clara valley. The 

 leaves and stems are bronzed or reddish, the flowers deep yellow. 

 The pedicels are shorter than the flower, about the length of the 

 calyx and stout when kept under pressure and dried. Some 

 plants were left lying between papers with little or no pressure
