Jug^lans major (Torr.) 

 Juglans rupest7Hs var. major Torr. Sitgreave's Report, 171. 



pi, 16. 1854. 

 Juglans Californica Wats. Proc. Am. Acad. 10:349. 1875. 

 The type of y. major came from western New Mexico, col-

 40-60 feet high and 2-4 feet in diameter, and ranging southward

Cerastiuin maximum (Hollick & Britton) 



Cerastium arvense var. maximu77i Hollick & Britton, Bull. 



Torr. Club, 14: 47.//. 64./. 2. 1887. 

 No. 5269, collected on hillsides at Bodega Bay, Sonoma 

 county, California, April 11, 1902, apparently belongs to this

 distinct from the eastern C. arvense.

 roots, branched above, the branches ascending, pubescent with 

 spreading hairs, which on the branches become sparser and 

 somewhat appressed: leaves few, mostly basal, these orbicular 

 in outline, cordate at base, the sinuses acute, the largest 5cm. in 

 diameter, deeply 3-parted into obovate-cuneate lobes, the lateral
