near the base, the short lobes barely i mm. long, brf)acl and 

 rounded, the narrow edges yellowish, the inside around tlie cal- 

 ices densely lanate: bractlets within the involucre oblong-spatu- 

 late, a little shorter than the involucre, their tips about i mm. 

 wide, greenish on the outside, paler and slightly margined on 

 the concave inside: calices pale yellow with a purple spot on 

 the outside of each segment, i mm. long on slender stipes over 

 2 mm. long, exserted from the involucre, the lobes quadrate, 

 slightly puberulent on the outside. 



The type is no. 8233, collected May 11, 1906, at the base 

 of the White mountains opposite Laws, Inyo county, California, 

 growing in a mixture of gravel and sand. It is common in the 

 vicinity, and also occurs on the west side of Owen's valley be- 

 yond Bishop, growing on granite. This species is of the Eriog- 

 onutn angulosum group, and I think there are specimens in the 

 herbarium of the University of California named as such. In 

 general appearance it more nearly resembles E. viridescens^ de- 

 scribed on page 25 of this volume, but differs in its greener ap- 

 pearance, thinner leaves, smaller involucres, and yellow, purple 

 spotted calices exserted from the involucre. 



Eriogonum glaucum Small, Bull. Torn Club, 25; 51. 1898. 

 No. 8333, collected May 25, along the base of the White 

 mountains, in the extreme southern part of Mono county near 

 the Southern Belle mine. It is common also in northern Inyo 

 county, occurring on the granite sands of the western side of the 

 valley as well as on the slates and shales of the eastern side. It 

 is distinguished from E. injlatuyn by the lanceolate instead of 

 ovate calyx segments. The type was collected in the Colorado 

 desert by C. R. Orcutt, April, 1889.
