254 Muhlenbergia, Volume 2 



from the descriptions in the Synoptical Flora, evidently made 

 to cover several forms. 



CICHORIACEAE 



SCOLYMUS HISPANICUS L- 



No. 8416, collected July 27, at Los Gatos, Santa Clara 

 county, where it is sparingly but well established at the end of 

 east Main street. A large plant with coarse spiny leaves and 

 numerous showy yellow flowers. Perhaps the only known sta- 

 tion in this country. 



Anisocoma acaulis Gray 



No. 8243, collected May 12, on the sand hills about three 

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

 A typical desert plant and a handsome species. 



PTiLORrA CORONARIA Greene, Pittonia, 2: 132. 1890. 



Stephanomeria coronaria Greene, Bull. Cal. Acad. 1: 194. 

 1885. 



No. 8424, collected July 31, on the sand hills about, two 

 miles northeast of Del Monte, Monterey county, along the rail- 

 road. Abundant there and at intervals all along the railroad 

 from Monterey well over toward Castroville in the sand hills. 

 The flowers are large, rose-purple, and remain open until after 

 noon, at least on cloudy days. The type came from the "Santa 

 Lucia Mountains, Calif." It v/as "also sent from Monterey Co. 

 by Mr. Hickman." Ordinarily one would not look for moun- 

 tain species upon the sand hills of the coast, but our specimens 

 seem referable here rather than to any other described species. 



Calycoseris parryi Gray, Bot. Mex. Bound. 106. 1859, 



No. 8246, collected May 14, on the Red Hill west of Bish- 

 op, Inyo county, in gravel. Rather plentiful there, and noticed 

 in the White mountains opposite Laws. The type came from 

 "mountains east of Monterey, California," a station considerably 

 outside of its ordinary range.
