- No. 7596, collected April 6, along the Santa Fe railroad 

 about one mile west of Bakersfield, Kern county, in moist 

 ground, the plants about five feet high. The original was col- 

 lected at "Los Angeles, California, frequent in waste places 

 (Brewer, n. 95)." 



Parietaria floridana Nutt. Gen. 2: 208. 1818. 



No. 7778, collected April 26, on steep northerly slopes 

 about a mile, inside Kern canyon, Kern county. This is one of 

 the forms referred to P. debilis^ but that species hardly occurs 

 with us. Perhaps the number here referred to is not P. fiori- 

 dana either, the type of which was collected "near St. Mary's 

 West Florida," but it seems best to refer it here for the present.
