fiiiit is more j>lal)r<)us llian that of tlic typical form, but there 

 are several forms as to pubescence." The elevation at this sta- 

 tion is 600 feet. The type came from "wet hillsides alonj^ the 

 Columbia River, Klikitat Co., Washing-ton Terr., Suksdorf.''^ 

 Apparently not heretofore recorded from California, but it was 

 collected somewhere in the State by Bridges, no. 144, a speci- 

 men in the herbarium of the University of California.

 No. 8466, collected April 25, on the western end of the San 

 Bruno hills, San Mateo county, elevation 500 feet, on northerly 

 slopes in a tangle of other vegetation. The determination is 

 doubtful, as our plant is not stout and tall, neither does it have 

 "rather many small axillary branches." It has the same fruit, 

 however, as a specimen in the herbarium of the University of 

 California, collected by Jepson in Walker canyon, Vacaville, So- 

 lano county. May 17, 1892, marked "F. magna Greene, ace. to 

 diagnosis." The type came from Knight's valley, Sonoma 

 county. 



No. 8544, collected May 18, on Stevens creek near Soda 

 Rock, Santa Clara county, elevation 700 feet, growing sparingly 

 on a northerly slope near shrubs. This too does not have the 

 growth of typical P. magna^ but is the same as no. 8466.
