264 Studies on Californian Plants. [ZOE 
thickets 4 to 10 ft. high around the head of the lake, in some 
cases entirely covered by snow, save for the protruding stems, 
these with flower-buds on Aug. 5, 1906. Neighboring plants, 
not covered by snow, were in full leaf on the same date. 
ARENARIA SAXOSA Gray. South Fork Meadows, alt. 2450m., 
San Bernardino Mts., Ha//, No. 7673. But one plant was found, 
a loosely branching specimen 3 dm. high, very much like the 
common form in New Mexico and Arizona. 
SCLERANTHUS ANNUUS IL. Occurs as an introduced plant in 
the Sierra Nevada foothills; along the railroad above Placerville, 
May, 1907, Mrs. Brandegee. 
CoRYDALIS CASEANA Gray. Vicinity of Morgan, northern 
Tehama Co. The plants vary in size from a few cm., when 
growing in exposed places, to 12 dm. in very moist soil shaded 
by pine trees. Flowers white, except for a rosy tinge to spur 
and anthers. 
SisyMBRIUM CUMINGIANUM F. & M. Very common on San 
Jacinto Mt. Previously reported by myself as S. canescens, an- 
other widely distributed species sey at lower altitudes in 
Southern California. 
SPIRAEA Douc.Lastt Hook. ‘This Coast Range plant is plenti- 
‘ful along streams in Morgan Springs Valley in the Sierra Nevada 
of Tehama Co., Hall & Babcock, No. 4407, and also comes from 
Modoc Co., 4. S. Baker. 
AESCULUS CALIFORNICA (Spach.) Nutt. This is to be added to 
the flora of Southern California, since it grows on the north slope 
of Tejon Pass, Los Angeles Co. It is plentiful near Fort Tejon, 
just over the line in Kern Co. 
PHACELIA RACEMOSA T. S. Brandegee, Zoe ii. 252 (1891). 
Nama racemosa Kell., Proc. Calif. Acad. v. 51 (1873). Phacelia 
namatoides Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. x. 317 (1875). In the 
original description Dr. Kellogg describes the second internode 
as “enlarging above, ancipitally expanded at the base of the 
leaves or compressed, and with the branches decurrent winged.” 
This is an abnormality, as is plainly evident from a specimen, 
presumably of the type collection, preserved in the Brandegee 
Herbarium.
