BOTANICAL EXPLORATION IN CALIFORNIA 



Season of 1905 



The writer had hoped to publish an account of each sea- 

 son's collections from this State, beginning with the first one in 

 1902, but up to this time it has not been possible to do so. 



The collection of this season is one of interest for various 

 reasons. There are a large number of novelties; the known 

 range of a number of species has been extended; and an oppor- 

 tunity is afforded for comparison of the floras of the opposite 

 ends of the great interior valley, points about 550 miles apart. 



A summary of the work will be given at the end of this 

 paper, as the whole collection will not have been determined 

 until after this first part of the report is printed. 



My thanks are due to the California Academy of Sciences, 

 and Miss Eastwood, Curator of the herbarium, for facilities for 

 carrying on the field work, as well as free u.se of the herbarium 

 and library. The types of all new species described by me from 

 this collection are deposited in the herbarium of the Academy.
