234 Muhlenbergia, Volume 2 



PhaceIvIA bicolor Torr. in Wats. Bot. King Rep. 255. 1871. 



No. 8198, collected May 8, on the sand hills about three 

 miles west of Laws, Inyo county, plentiful locally in fine sand. 

 The corolla lobes are violet in these plants. The type was col- 

 lected in "western Nevada, near Carson City. 



No. 8285, collected May 18, in the foothills west of Bishop, 

 Inyo county, on the banks of a small stream shaded by shrubs. 

 The plants are greener than no. 8198, have broader leaf seg- 

 ments, and larger pinkish flowers. 



Phacelia suaveolens Greene, Pittonia, 1: 223. 1888. 



No. 8391, collected June 12, near the summit of Mt. Tam- 

 alpais, Marin county, in rich ground in an open place. An un- 

 expected station for this rare plant, hitherto known only from 

 the type collection from the "Petrified Forest, Sonoma County." 

 A large diffuse plant with numerous procumbent stems from 

 one root. Determined by Professor Greene. 



Phaceua caufornica Cham. Linnaea, 4: 495. 1829. 



No. 8405, collected June 12, along the^ railroad near the 

 summit of Mt. Tamalpais, Marin county. San Francisco is the 

 original locality for this species, and it is rather common in 

 sand near Lake Merced, as it no doubt is at other places about 

 the city. Its occurrence near the summit of Tamalpais was a 

 surprise. The plants are more slender than the typical form, 

 but seem to belong here. 



Phaceua platyloba Gray 



No. 8163, collected April 12, on a high ridge overlooking 

 the San Joaquin river in Madera county, about five miles above 

 Pollasky, growing in rich soil under shrubs, the plants slender. 

 This is the typical plant, the peculiar unevenness of the calyx 

 which suggested the name quite prominent.
