Sei,aginella Bigki.ovii Underw. 



No. 8604, collected May 31, on the siiminit of Mt. Hamil- 

 ton, Santa Clara county, a short distance beyond the observa- 

 tory, elevation 4200 feet. It was growing- on a slope facing the 

 east under shrubs, the place more sheltered than usual, but the 

 plants smaller and shorter than those found back of Alum Rock 

 Park near San Jose in the same mountain range at an elevation 

 of about 800 feet.

No. 8634, collected June 4, at an elevation of nearly 3000 

 feet on the ridge above the Alma soda spring, Santa Clara 

 county. Here as well as in the mountains back of Saratoga it 

 is little more than a shrub, being only ten or fifteen feet high. 

 In the middle Coast Range on the slopes of Mt. Sanhedrin in 

 Lake county, I have seen it as a good sized tree, about fifty feet 

 high, at an elevation of at least 4000 feet. Jepson does not re- 

 cord it from this region in his flora, Marin county fifty miles 

 further north being his most southerly station. It occurs in the 

 Sierra Nevada, and apparently is found as far north as Idaho.

Bromus Pumpeluanus Scribn. 



No. 8566, collected May 23, about two miles beyond San 

 Mateo, Sau Mateo county, on the Half Moon Bay road, growing 

 on an open bank. The plants have rather smaller spikelets than 

 usual. The species is also rather plentiful on the hills about 

 Los Gatos, but is not given in Jepson's Flora.
