No. 8439, collected April 20, in San Mateo connty near 

 Lake Merced, elevation 200 feet, in wet sandy ground, growing 

 in patches of numerous plants as is the habit in this genus. The

Allocarya STiPiTATA Greene, Pittonia 1: 19. 1887. 



No. 8512, collected May 7, along the Interurban treaks near 

 the crossing of Los Gatos creek above Campbell, Santa Clara 

 county, elevation 250 feet, in moist depressions where water had 

 stood during the winter. Plentiful at this place. No type lo- 

 cality is given, merely that "this is the commonest of all the 

 species in the central part of California, being abundant in all 

 moist meadow lands, and along the margins of pools and ditches."

 nutlets would seem to indicate two different plants.

Stems 3 to 5 dm. high, rather strict, hispid with straight 

 bristle-like hairs as well as somewhat strigose, leafy, but the 

 leaves rather remote, linear-oblong, 5 to 10 mm. wide, the larg- 

 est 5 or 6 cm. long, the shortly apiculate apex acute, or merely 

 acutish in the larger ones, hispid, especially above, with appres- 

 sed bristle-like hairs from a pustulate base, midvein prominent 

 beneath: spikes dense above, loosely flowered below, i dm. long 

 or less, but probably much elongated when in full fruit: flower-
