No. 7901, collected about two miles northeast of Redding, 

 Shasta county, May 30, in moist gravel along a stream. It is 

 rather common in that region, growing either in gravel or sand 

 along streams. Our specimens are from near type locality, for "it 

 was brought from Shasta by Mr. Andrew A. Veatch, and culti- 

 vated by M. H. G. Bloomer." Shasta is eight or ten miles west 

 of Redding. 



Allium hyalinum Curran; S. Wats. Proc. Am. Acad. 24: 87. 



1888. 

 No. 7805, collected May i, in rich loose ground about rocks 

 in shaded places on the first ridge west of Keene station, in the 

 Tehachapi mountains, Kern county. It grew in matted clumps, 

 a dozen or more bulbs often massed together. The flowers are 

 white. Originally collected at Salmon Falls, Eldorado county, 

 by Mrs. Curran, June, 1881. 



Allium parryi S. Wats. Proc. Am. Acad. 14: 231. 1879. 



No. 7619, collected April 7, near Caliente, Kern county, in 

 adobe soil in a field about a mile east of the town. The origi- 

 nal is from "Coast Ranges (San Bernardino County, Dr. C. C. 

 Parry, n. 390, 1876)." Our plant may possibly be distinct, as it 

 does not agree in all particulars with the description of the type, 

 being twice taller, and has stamens nearly or quite equalling the 

 perianth segments, instead of one-third shorter. The segments 

 appear to be almost blunt in flowers which have just £)pened, 

 while in the older ones they are acute, as described. 



Allium serratum S. Wats, Bot. King Exped. 487.//. jj.f. 4. 

 J. 1871. 

 No. 7740, collected April 22, on dry hillsides back of Oil 

 City, near Bakersfield, Kern county. Watson's type, taking the 

 plant first cited, was collected somewhere in the coast region by 

 Douglas. His figure of the flower is faulty, as it gives no indi- 

 cation of the perianth segments being in two series, nor is this 

 fact mentioned in the description. The inner ones are less 

 spreading at the base, and a little shorter than the outer ones.
