Culms numerous, in dense tussocks, stout, 18-24 dm. tall; 
leaves 2em. or more broad, strongly ribbed, sharply and rigidly 
serrate on edges and keel; panicles 6-8, diffuse and drooping, 
from the axils of short triangular-tipped leaves; spikelets in 
numerous clusters of 2-3, narrowly oblong, 4-6mm. long; seales 
light-brown, ovate to lanceolate, acutish or acuminate; stamens 
2; achenes brown, ovoid, attenuate upward, about 2mm. long. 
Collected some 40 years ago by Brewer ‘“‘in a swamp near 
San Gabriel’’, but not since met with in the Cismontane 
region. Mistakes are known in Brewer’s locality labels, and 
this may be one. In the Desert region it was collected by 
Coville & Funston at Furnace Creek and Resting Springs Val- 
ley, both in Inyo Co. Widely distributed in the warmer parts 
of the world; in the U.S. confined to the Pacific coast.

teresting series of Anthophorinae received from Dr. David- 
son. A few species, represented by rather inadequate mate- 
rial, have not been identified.
