numerous clusters of bright-blue flowers, and resembling C. thyrsiflorus, only much smaller. 
A trailing form, with more pubescent branches and leaves, and short-peduncled panicles, was 
found at Duffield’s ranch, Sierra Nevada, (May 12,) and at the Washington Mammoth grove, 
(May 15.) 
CEANOTHUS DIVARICATUS, Nutt. in Torr. & Gray, Fl. l. c. ۶ GROSSE-SERRATUS: foliis major- 
ibus, grosse-serratus, acutiusculis. Station not recorded. Branches thorny at the extremity; 
serratures of the leaves acute; flowers blue. 
CEANOTHUS INCANUS, Torr. & Gray, Fl. 1, p. 265, A single specimen, of a slender form, of 
this species exists in the collection. It is without a ticket, but was probably found in the valley 
of the Sacramento. 
CEANOTHUS CRASSIFOLIUS, (Torr. in Emory's Mex. Bound. Hep., cum tab. ined.:) fruticosus, 
ramulis pubescentibus; foliis ovatis, integerrimis, vel remote spinuloso-denticulatis coriaceis 
crassis penninerviis, supra demum glabratis, subtus albo-tomentosis, thyrsis subsessilibus 
umbelliformibus (floribus albis.) Hills and sandy plains, Cajon Pass, March 16; Teyung, 
California, Mr. Wallace, 1854. Dr. Parry discovered this well-marked species in the moun- 
tains south of Los Angeles, while acting as botanist, under Major Emory, in the Mexican 
boundary survey. 
CEANOTHUS INTEGERRIMUS, Hook. & Arn. Bot. Beechey, p. 329; Torr. & Gray, Fl. L 6. 
Benth. Pl. Hartw. p. 302, No. 1684. Grass valley, May 20; Los Angeles, May 14; hill-sides, 
Nevada, May 20. 
CEANOTHUS DIVARICATUS, Nutt. l. o. var, EGLANDULOSUS: foliis integerrimis (margine nec denti- 
culatis glanduliferis) obtusissimis. On mountains near San Gabriel; March 22. Also with 
vestiges of last year’s fruit. Cohon Pass, March 16. (Collected by Dr. Parry on the mountains 
east of San Diego; in fruit and in flower by Mr. Wallace, at Boca de Teyunga, April.) This 
has the flowers, the divaricate spinescent branches with whitish bark, and also the foliage of 
C. divaricatus, except that none of the specimens show a trace of the glandular denticulations 
so manifest in the specimens of Douglas and of Coulter; nor is the pubescence on their ribs 
quite so evident. Some of the leaves are slightly cordate.—Gray, Mss. 
CEANOTHUS CUNEATUS, Nutt. in Torr. € Gray, Fl. 1, p. 267. C. macrocarpus, Nutt. l. c., (non 
Cavan.) Cocomungo, March 17; San Giovana, April 12; Napa valley, April 27; Knight's 
ferry, Stanislaus, May 7; (fruit.) A very variable species in the size and form of the leaves. 
It should, perhaps, include C. verrucosus of Nuttall. : 
CEANOTHUS DENTATUS, Torr. € Gray, Fl. 1, p. 268; Lindl. & Pha FI? Gard. 1, p. 11, €. ۰ 
Santa Rosa Laguna; May 1. This pretty species has much the appearance of C. sorediacus, 
but the leaves are hardly 3-nerved. ; 
CEANOTHUS RIGIDUS, Nutt. in Torr. & Gray, Fl. Le: Lindl. € Past. Fl. Gard. 1, p. 14, t. 51; 
Bot. Mag. 78, t. 4664. Var. GRANDIFOLIUS. Punta de los Reyes; April 18. The leaves are three 
times larger than in the ordinary form of this species, and strongly spinose-toothed on the sides, 
as well as at the extremity. This variety seems to show almost a transition to C. prostratus, 
through the broad-leaved form of that plant noticed below; but we are not willing to unite the 
two species, without seeing a more extensive suite of specimens for comparison. — 
CEANOTHUS PROSTRATUS, Benth. Pl. Hartw. p. 302. Grass valley, May 20; with immature 
fruit, The leaves vary from oblanceolate and entire to cuneate and tricuspidate. The fruit is 
crowned with 3 strong protuberances. A variety, with much larger pad rary: leaves, 
coarsely spinose-toothed down to the middle, or at the apex only, was found at the لا‎ r 
Mammoth grove. Colonel Frémont collected the same on the Upper Sacramento in 18 ; 
CEANOTHUS FENDLERI, Gray, Pl. Fendl. p. 20. Sandia mountains; October. Inm fruit. 
MESEMBRYANTHEMACES. 
M Harv.? Sea-shore, Punta de los Reyes, April 18. The plant 
is abundant in several other places on the coast of California, and was probably introduced,
