Trifouum columbinum Greene, Pittonia, 1: 4. 1887. 



No. 7578, collected March 22, on the ridge east of South 

 Butte, Marysville Buttes, Sutter county, where it is not uncom- 

 mon, ascending to an elevation of at least 800 feet. It appears 

 to be confined to the region north of the Bay of San Francisco, 

 the type from Vacaville, Solano county, on the west side of the 

 Sacramento valley. 



Trikolium nkolagopus Loja. Nuovo Giorn. Bot. Ital. 15: 

 194. 1883. 

 No. 7626, collected April 7, in fields a short distance east 

 of Caliente, Kern county. This is a slender erect form, the 

 leaves deep green above, a little paler beneath. This species 

 has commonly passed as T. albopurpureum^ which Dr. Small in- 

 forms me is hardly distinct from T. niac7^aei. The type of T. 

 neolagopus was collected in San Luis Obispo county. 



No. 7800, collected May i, on the first ridge west of Keene 

 Station in the Tehachapi mountains, Kern county, on grassy 

 northerly slopes. This differs little from 7626 except in being 

 more branched from the base, the peduncles a little shorter. 



No. 7835, collected May 5, at Tehachapi, Kern county, on 

 the hills north of the town. This form is lower than either of 

 the two preceding and more pubescent, but appears to be the 

 same. The elevation is 4000 feet. 



Trifolium ciliolatum Benth. PI. Hartw. 304. 1848. 



Trifoliimi ciliatuvi Nutt. Journ. Acad. Phila. II. 1: 152. 

 1848; not Clark. 



No. 7770, collected April 26, about a mile inside Kern can- 

 yon on steep gravelly slopes, the elevation about 1000 feet. 

 Only a little of it was noticed. The stipules are perfectly glab- 

 rous, not "subciliate," as described by Nuttall, whose type came 

 from the "Pueblo de los Angeles, Upper California." It is 

 rather widely distributed, occurring as far north as the Colum- 

 bia river, according to Watson.
