PLANTAGINACKAE 



Plantago viROiNiCA L. vSp. PI. 113. 1753. 



No. 7896, collected May 30, 1905, on the banks of a stream 

 about three miles northeast of Redding, Shasta county, growing 

 amoiig grass under £lnd near shrubs. Not appearing as if intro- 

 duced, and somewhat different in appearance from the plant of 

 the east Determined by Mr, E. L. Morris. 



Plantaga GALEOTTIANA Dcne. DC. Prodr. 13: 



No. 8387, collected June 8, in San Mateo county in wet 

 sand along the Southern Pacific tracks near Ocean View, San

 the Prodromus. Mr. Morris informed me two years ago that 

 this is the proper name for our plant.

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

 Inyo county, on steep slopes near rocks. Rather plentiful at 

 one place, the shrubs much branched, three or four feet high. 

 The bark of the old stems is nearly white, falling off in shreds,

 Flora the corolla is said to be white, but in these specimens it 

 is purplish.

254. 1848. 



No. 8278, collected May 18, in the foothills west of Bishop,
