 No. 8402, collected June 12, along the railroad near the 

 summit of Mt. Tamalpais, Marin county. The specimens are 

 not typical, but were determined as this species by Professor 

 Greene. The type came from the "Oakland Hills," Alameda 

 county, and is described as "very glaucous," which character is 

 scarcely discernable in our specimens.

No 8175, collected April 13, in rich soil in fields at Fresno, 

 Fresno county. This is a beautiful annual species with large 

 orange-colored flowers which turn pale in drying. Determined 

 by Professor Greene. 



No. 8177, collected April 14, in grain fields at Tracy, Con- 

 tra costa county, the type locality. Here the plants were taller 

 and weaker, also greener than those of no. 8175, due to the fact 

 that they were sheltered by the tall grain in which they grew.
