HELIOTROPIACEAE 



HkuoTropium ocuLATuivi Heller, Muhlenbergia, 1: 58. 1904. 

 No. 8064, collected June 19, along the railroad near Gren- 

 ada Station, Siskiyou county. The species is widely scattered 

 through the interior of California, often in soil which contains 

 little alkali. The flowers are whitish or lilac with a purple eye. 

 The type was collected at Healdsburg, Sonoma county, on the 

 banks of the Russian river in gravel and sand. 



LAMIACEAE 



Scutellaria austinae Eastw. Bull. Torr. Club, 30: 493. 

 1903. 

 No. 7889, collected May 29, at the river bridge near Red- 

 ding, Shasta county, in gravel and sand. It is a handsome spe- 

 cies, the rather large flowers deep violet-blue. The type was 

 collected on Big Chico creek, Butte county. In this connection 

 it may be well to state that ^S. angustifolia Pursh has not yet 

 been detected in California, and probably never will. It is a 

 species found in northern Idaho and eastern Washington. My 

 own 3150, collected near type locality in 1896 is typical, and 

 those who have access to it should readily see why none of the 

 Californian plants belong there. 



Scutellaria antirrhinoides Benth. Bot. Reg. 18: under//. 

 1493- 1832. 

 No. 8020, collected June 13, on wooded slopes in the gorge 

 of the Sacramento above Shasta Springs, Siskiyou county. It 

 has rather small pale violet-blue flowers, and although like other 

 specimens labeled kS. antirrhinoides^ differs somewhat from the 

 original which was collected on the Columbia "prope arcem 

 Vancouver," by Scouler. 



Scutellaria nana Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 11: 100. 1876. 



No. 8086, collected June 22, near Igerna, Siskiyou county, 

 in sandy open places. The type was from "N. W. Nevada, in
