No. 8326, collected May 23, in the foothills west of Bishop, 

 Inyo county, in somewhat peaty soil. The slender stems were 

 erect from a decumbent base, quite different in habit from plants 

 which grow near the shore at Pacific Grove, and are truly pro- 

 cumbent. Type locality "Monspelii."

 hills near the San Joaquin river about three miles above Pol- 

 lasky. The original, collected at Fort Ross, Sonoma county, 

 had "siliculis glaberrimis" while in these specimens it is tomen- 

 tose, and this pubescent fruited form seems to be commoner.
