segments and three-lobed style, but differs in its smooth stems, 

 very narrow leaf segments, blunt corolla lobes, longer stamens 

 with granular anthers, and longer styles. Its heads and flowers 

 are probably also much smaller. They are only about half the 

 size of those of G. glandiilifera described above, and about as 

 large as those of G. pallida.

 No. 7609, collected April 6, on the rising plain back of 

 Kern, Kern county. It is very abundant in places on the plains 

 about Bakersfield, imparting a purplish tinge to large areas. 

 Here it is more diffuse, has paler and smaller flowers with the 

 yellow more pronounced and the purple less so than in some 

 specimens from the Bay region. It was described from plants 

 sent to England by Douglas from Monterey.

No. 7667,. collected April 13, at Kramer, San Bernardino 

 county, on the Mojave desert. This may be the typical form, 

 as it is the maximum size, a foot or more high, nearly glabrous, 

 with flowers an inch long and proportionate!)^ broad. It is ap- 

 parently common on the desert, the type collected by Fremont, 

 perhaps not far from Kramer. 



No. 7686, collected April 14, on stony hills near Rands- 

 burg, Kern county. This is considerably smaller than no. 7667, 

 has darker flowers only about half the size, and is more glandu- 

 lar. It grew at an elevation several hundred feet higher in 

 stony ground instead of in sand. 



No. 7837, collected May 5, at Tehachapi, Kern county, in 

 grassy fields northwest of the town in rather rich soil, elevation 

 4000 feet, probably 800 feet higher than no. 7686, which it 

 much resembles, only is decidedly glandular. Many of the flow-
