IXIACEAK 



Iris missouriensis Nutt. Journ. Acad. Phila. 7: 58. 1834. 



No. 8179, collected May 5, in wet meadows at Laws, Inyo 

 county, where it is abundant, growing either in colonies or as 

 individuals. The type locality is "toward the sources of the 

 Missouri," and it hardly seems possible that the species extends 

 over such a wide expanse of territory as is supposed, but lack of 

 knowledge of the typical plant compels the placing of our speci- 

 mens here.

No. 8353, collected May 30,, in wet meadows near Bishop,

 lected at "Humboldt Wells, near Wells, Nevada."

SaLIX EXIGtfA Nutt. 



No. 8180, collected May 5, at Laws, Inyo counto, along an 

 irrigating ditch. It is not uncommon in wet places in that part 

 of Owen's valley at elevations of 4000 to 5000 feet, occurring as 

 a slender shrub five or six feet high, with wand-like branches. 



Salix lasiolepis Benth. 



No. 8268, collected May 16, in Silver canyon in the White 

 mountains opposite Laws, Inyo county, about four miles up the

 bark is pale instead of very dark, and the leaves are too short. 

 It is common in this canvon.
