Malvastrum parryi Greene, Fl. Fran. 108. 1891. 



No. 7592, collected April 6, along the Santa Fe railroad 

 near Bakersfield, Kern county. It is plentiful about Bakers- 

 field, and is identical with a specimen collected by Brandegee 

 and labeled as this species. The stems are often prostrate, a 

 foot or more long. 



VIOLACEAE 



Viola purpurea Kellogg, Proc. Cal. Acad. 1: 56. 1855. 



No. 7721, collected April 18, near Girard Station in the 

 Tehachapi mountains, Kern county, on grassy slopes. Except 

 that this is a little more pubescent than the original, it answers 

 very well to the description. There is a drawing of this species 

 in the herbarium of the California Academy labeled "from a sp. 

 of Placerville," but a specimen collected on Mt. Diablo by Kel- 

 logg himself is very like the drawing. 



No. 8090, collected June 22, along the railroad near Igerna, 

 Siskiyou county. This is not typical, the upper leaves not "ob- 

 tusely crenate," but are acute and sharply toothed. The plant 

 is not uncommon in that region, growing in a mixture of clay 

 and sand. 



Vioi,A 1.0BATA Benth. PI. Hartw. 298. 1849. 



No. 7927, collected June i, at Dunsmuir, Siskiyou county, 

 in rich soil on steep wooded slopes among shrubs. It is com- 

 mon in this region, and agrees well with the description of the 

 original in being glabrous, but none of the leaves are subreni- 

 form. They are ovate, the largest very broadly so, all more or 

 less acuminate and irregularly lobed. The type came from 

 "montibus Sacramento," somewhere in the foothills of Butte 

 county. 



Viola douglasii Steud. Nom. 2: 14. 1841. 



Fzola chrysantha Hook. Ic. pi. 49. 1837; not Schrad. 1834. 

 No. 7837, collected May 5, on hills north of Tehachapi,
