trees, and was very abundant in a limited area. The fresh flow- 

 ers are bright golden yellow, turning darker when dry. It is an 

 elegant species, one of the handsomest in the genus. The type 

 was collected by Hansen, no. 1539, collected either in Calaveras 

 or Amador county. Determined by Professor Greene. 



EsCHSCHOLTziA LOEBii Greene 



No. 8168, collected April 12, in Madera county, in a mead- 

 ow along a little stream among the hills near the San Joaquin 

 river about four miles above Pollasky; not common. Deter- 

 mined by Professor Greene. 



ESCHSCHOLTZIA MINUTIFLORA WatS. 



No. 8195, collected May 7, on gravelly slopes about the 

 mouth of Silver canyon in the White mountains opposite Laws, 

 Inyo county. As described by Professor Greene, the plants are 

 "weak and straggling rather than properly decumbent." It was 

 found only in the White mountains. Determined by Professor 

 Greene. My no. 7672, distributed last year under this name, is 

 no doubt E. micrantha^ but it does not seem to agree with the 

 description of that species. 



ESCHSCH01.TZIA coviLLEi Greene 



No. 8245, collected May 14, in volcanic detritus on the Red 

 Hill west of Bishop, Inyo county. The plants were generally 

 rather broad, the spread of the branches about equal to the 

 height. The petals are pale yellow, broadly obovate, about 

 5 mm. long and as wide, In the field it impressed me as being 

 different from E. mimitiflora. Determined by Professor Greene. 

 My no. 7683, distributed last year under this name is something 

 else. 



No. 8272, collected May 18, in coarse granite sand in the 

 foothills west of Bishop, Inyo county. The fresh flowers of this 

 number seemed to be larger than those of no. 8245, collected 

 about four miles east on the Red Hill. Determined by Profes- 

 sor Greene.
