BOTANICAL EXPLORATION IN CALIFORNIA 



Season of 1906 



The collection this year though small, is of considerable 

 interest, containiug a large percentage of novelties and many 

 rare species, nearly all of them obtained in regions little ex- 

 plored botanically. 



April nth and 12th the region just above Pollasky, Fresno 

 county, on the San Joaquin river was investigated, special at- 

 tention being given to the hills on the opposite side of the river 

 in Madera county. 



We have no record of collections from this vicinity since 

 July, 1853, when several species were obtained by the botanists 

 ^ of Lieutenant Williamson's company of surveyors and reported 

 I upon in Pac. R. R. Rep. 5. The place recorded is Fort Miller, 

 ^^ situated two or three miles above Pollasky on the Fresno connty 

 ^ side. The types of Malvastrum marrubioides^ Hosackia lathy- 

 ■"^ roides und Godetia zvillianisoni were obtained there.
