134 Muhlenbergia, Volume i 



narrowly lanceolate, sharply acute leaves, the calyx segments 

 bluntish. Now after having seen true ^. xanti in the field, the 

 writer feels no hesitation in separating this tall glabrescent form 

 with erect or ascending wand-like branches. Even as it now 

 stands it is an aggregate so far as the shape of leaf and calyx 

 segments is concerned, but the several forms noted in the field 

 during the past few years have the same habit. It is probably 

 the same as S. umbelliferum var. glabrescens Torr. Pac. R. R. 

 Rep. 7: 17. 1856, which was collected at "Santa Inez; also be- 

 tween San Bernardino and San Gabriel." Mr. Parish was ap- 

 parently unaware of this earlier published homonym. 



SCROPHULARIACEAE 



CoLUNSiA LINEARIS Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 15: 50. 1879. 



No. 7946, collected June i, near Shasta Retreat, Siskiyou 

 county, in rich soil on wooded slopes, not uncommon. The 

 type was from "along the Klamath and Trinity Rivers, on argil- 

 laceous-rocky hills, N. W. California." 



CoLLiNSiA BICOLOR Benth. Trans. Hort. Soc. II. 1; 480. 1835. 

 No. 7769, collected April 26, about a mile inside of Kern 

 canyon, Kern county, on steep northerly slopes. This does not 

 look quite like the plant from Monterey where Douglas un- 

 doubtedly collected the type, being smoother in the inflores- 

 cence and having narrower leaves. 



iScROPHULARiA CAUFORNICA Cham. Linnaea, 2: 585. 1827. 



No. 7714, collected April 18, at Girard station in the Te- 

 hachapi mountains, Kern county. This is a stout glabrous 

 plant, not much branched, with large brownish flowers. It is 

 from an altitude of 3000 feet, in moist places on open slopes. 

 The type was collected at San Francisco, where it occurs in 

 moist sandy soil. 



No. 7767, collected April 26, about a mile inside the mouth 

 of Kern canyon, Kern county, the plants remarkably widely 

 much branched, pubescent and glandular, the flowers maroon.'
