there slightly constricted, the upper part between 2 and 5 nun. 

 wide, rounded at the apex; claw of the wings less than i mm. 

 wide, the blade barely 2 mm. wide, oblong, narrowed aboxe to a 

 point, and with a very small rounded projection at the baj-e; 

 keel conforming in shape to the wings, not inflated into a hood 

 above: legume pale, i -seeded. 



The type, in my herbarium, is C. h\ Baker's no. 2625, col- 

 lected April 20, 1903, on Mt. St. Helena, Napa county, Califor- 

 nia, where it is said to be "common about rocky summits." 



It was distributed under the above name, with Professor 

 Greene as the author of the species. Recently I wrote to Pro- 

 fessor Greene, asking him to describe this and several other ui> 

 described species bearing his name, as I expected soon to have 

 occasion to mention them in my writings. He replied that he 

 did not have time to attend to them, and that I should do what- 

 ever I cared to with them. I have accordingly described this 

 species, appropriating the name, and making Baker's specimen 

 the type rather than my own no. 8627, mentioned below. lis 

 nearest relative is probably T. dichotomuni. 



No. 8627, collected May 31, on Mt. Hamilton, Santa Clara 

 county, at an elevation of 4000 feet, growing about stony places 

 near trees on a westerly slope just below the observatory. It is 

 quite like the type from Mt. St. Helena, described above, and 

 no doubt will be found on intervening mountain .summits. V'ery 

 little of it was found in good condition, but dried-up plants 

 of apparently this species were found at several places on the 

 mountain. 



Trifolium polyodon Greene, Pittonia, :>: 215. 1S97. 



No. 8498, collected May i, near Pacific Grove, Monterey 

 county, in a marshy meadow back of Point Pinos. This is from 

 type locality and typical habitat, "moist uplands along stream- 

 lets and springy places at Pacific Grove near Monterey, Calif. ' 

 It is a handsome plant with yellow-green leaves and moderate 

 sized heads of purple-red flowers. So far it has been found at 

 ho other place.
