No. 7587, collected April 5 near Oil City, opposite Bakers- 

 field, Kern county, growing on open sandy plains, the plants 

 prostrate. It is very common all through that region on the 

 plains and hills, in many places so thick that the bladdery pods 

 are crushed under foot at every step. Originally from "banks 

 of the Rio Virgin," Nevada, collected by Fremont. 



No. 7833, collected May 5, at Tehachapi, Kern county, 

 where it is abundant in fields. This looks like a distinct plant, 

 the stems more ascending, sparingly pubescent with short chaffy 

 hairs, the calyx lobes with a broader base, the pods more pubes- 

 cent than no. 7587.
