Shasta County 



Redding is situated at the extreme upper end of the Sacra- 

 mento valley, elevation 557 feet at the railroad station, and is 

 260 miles north of San Francisco. The Sacramento valley 

 proper which is flat and treeless except along streams, ends some 

 miles below Redding, the whole space beween the Sierra Ne- 

 vada and the Coast Range suddenly rising one or two hundred 

 feet, comparatively level over the whole area, and rather well 

 timbered with oak trees. The town is built on the edge of the 

 hills which extend back a few miles to the Coast Range, and at 

 this place also the Sacramento river emerges from the deep can- 

 yon which it has cut through the mountains from its source at 

 the base of Mt. Shasta, 80 miles further north. The collecting 

 was confined mainly to the river banks near Redding, none of 

 the points visited being more than five or six miles from the 

 town. 



Only five species listed from Kern county were collected 

 here, and all differ in form, three of them perhaps distinct. 

 The five are Allium scrratiim^ Montia parvifiora^ Lomatium 

 utriculatum^ Mimulus langsdorfii^ and Gnaphalodes californica.
