No. 8464, collected April 25, on the western end of the San 

 Pruno hills, San Mateo colinty, elevation about 700 feet, grow- 

 ing on northerly slopes in moist ground near low shrubs. Easily 

 distinguished from L. heterophyUa by its campanulate calyx. 

 In these specimens the petals are all 3-toothed or rather lobed 

 near the apex; the short, thick pistils are half the length of the 

 calyx lobes, equaled or little exceeded by the stamens, whicli 

 bend over toward the pistils. "California around and north Oi' 

 San Francisco, where Dr. Brewer has abundantly gathered it at 

 several stations." Our specimens are therefore practically from 

 type locality; the station almost within the limits of San Fran- 

 cisco.
