feet. Here it is found sparingly, but on the plateau just above 

 around the base of Mt. Shasta it is the prevailing shrub in dry 

 sandy soil often covering large areas. It is especially abundant 

 at elevations of from 3000 to 4000 feet, C. vehitinus taking its 

 place at about 4000 feet. The leaves are somewhat larger than 

 those of the type from Washoe, Nevada, which had them "one 

 quarter to one half an inch long, rarely three-eights broad." 



Ckanothus incanus T. & G. Fl. N. A. 1; 265. 1838.? 



No. 8051, collected June 16, back of vSisson along the Mt. 

 Shasta trail, elevation about 4000 feet. This is by no means 

 typical, and may not belong here at all. It occurs at the place 

 where C. velutinits and C. cordiilalus meet, and bears some re- 

 semblance to both. In habit it is more like veliilimis and the 

 finely serrulate leaves are more like those of that species in shape, 

 but are smaller, thinner, not shining above. The appearance of 

 the branches and the inflorescence suggests cordidatus. It is 

 plentiful along the railroad between Upton and Black Butte 

 Summit, but is not found much above or below 4000 feet.
