Delphinium patens Benth. PI, Hartw. 296. 1848. 



No. 8530, collected May 10, in woods near Smith Creek, 

 Santa Clara county, elevation 2200 feet, in rich soil under oak 

 and pine trees. The leaves are deep green when fresh, the flow- 

 ers bright violet-purple. Jepson does not mention this species 

 in his Flora, but it is not uncommon in Santa Clara county, 

 having been found about Los Gatos and back of San Jose, and 

 at other places within his range further north, as Antioch, Sau- 

 celito, Calistoga, and Mark West Springs. The type was col- 

 lected by Hartweg "in valle Sacramento," near Marysville. 

 Delphinium recurvatum Greene 



No. 8602, collected May 30, on the Mt. Hamilton road near 

 Grand View, Santa Clara county, elevation about 1000 feet, 

 on an open grassy bank facing the west, and not plentiful. 

 This may be a pale form of D. hesperium^ as it does not agree 

 in all particulars with the description of D. recurvatum. 

 Delphinium apiculatum Greene, Pittonia 1: 285. 1889. 



Delphinium, variegatum var. apiculatum Greene, Fl. Fran. 

 304. 1 891. 



No. 8631, collected May 30, on the western slope of Mt. 

 Hamilton above Smith Creek, Santa Clara county, at an eleva- 

 tion of about 2500 feet, growing in open grassy places in gravel; 

 abundant at one place. The species is not well described, and 

 our determination is doubtful. Our plant has large violet-blue 

 flowers, the lower petals bearded. The type came from the 

 "plains of the San Joaquin near Byron's Springs."

No. 8457, collected April 25, in sand at the foot of the San 

 Bruno hills near Colma, San Mateo county, elevation about 400 

 feet. This, the type of the genus, was collected in the same 

 region, at San Francisco, and our plant is supposed to be typi- 

 cal. It is procumbent or prostrate from the beginning.
