from "bushy hills and thickets about Monterey," and says the 

 "branches spinescent at the extremity," and "leaves about half 

 an inch long, lucid, when dry of a bright yellowish-brown be- 

 neath." The leaves in our specimens are larger, although of 

 variable size, green beneath. It cannot be referred to R. ilici- 

 folia Kellogg, which also has leaves with the under side yellow, 

 but ovate and acute, and apparently occurs in Lake county only. 



Ceanothus NEVADENSIS Kellogg, Proc. Cal. Acad. 3: 152./ 

 45- 1863. 

 No. 7873, collected May 27, near the railroad about a mile 

 above Redding, Shasta county. This has rather large leaves, 

 some of them over three inches long and correspondingly broad. 

 They are mostly more oblong than in Kellogg's figure, but the 

 venation is the same, and not like it is in specimens cited by 

 Greene, Leaflets, 1: 66, at least as regards the writer's 5841 and 

 5881 (not 5886). The type of C. nevadensis came from the Yo- 

 semite. 



No. 7926, collected June i, along the Sacramento near 

 Dunsmuir, Siskiyou county. This has small leaves an inch or 

 less in length and a narrow simple panicle two or three inches 

 long. It is more pubescent than no. 7873, and in some respects 

 answers to the description of C. pediincidaris Greene, Leaflets, 

 1 : 69, 1904, 



Ceanothus VELUTINUS Dougl.; Hook. Fl. Bor. Am. 1: 125- 

 PL 4s. 1830. 

 No. 8046, collected back of Sisson, Siskiyou county, along 

 the Mt. Shasta trail at perhaps 5000 feet, where it is one of the 

 prevailing shrubs. Douglas got the type on "subalpine hills 

 near the sources of the Columbia; and at the 'Kettle Falls.' "
