CRYPSIS ACULEATA Ait. Alkali soil near Norman, Glen Co., 
May, 1898, /. Burtt Davy; near Stockton, Oct. 2, 1907, Mrs, 
Brandegee, determined by Prof. A.S. Hitchcock. Mrs. Brande- 
gee reports it as very abundant over considerable areas, especially 
on low lands which had been overflowed. Mr. Davy’s specimens 
are only 1 to 2 cm. ‘broad and high; those gathered by Mrs. 
Brandegee are larger, a single plant often forming a dense mat 3 
dm. or more in diameter. This large size is apparently attained 
only by summer and autumnal plants. 
SISYRINCHIUM ELMERI Greene. Along rivulets on the south 
slope of Sugarloaf Peak, San Bernardino Mts., in the Transition 
Zone, Hall, No. 7536. Larger than the type and with longer 
pedicels, thus approaching the form described as Hydastylus 
longipes Bicknell. 
CHLOROGALUM ANGUSTIFOLIUM Kell. In firm, red, clay soil, 
just east of Redding, Hall & Babcock, No. 4003. On a day when 
the thermometer registered 48°C, the flowers opened at sundown.

slightly saccate by the two shallow depressions in the base of 
each segment; segments narrowed in the middle and keeled or 
folded around the flat filaments, the tips broader and somewhat 
concave above, white with greenish midnerve, glabrous.
