A. pinetorum, Heller. 
A well defined species widely distributed in California, 
ranging from Plumas County to San Diego and apparently 
limited to the mountains of over 5000 ft. alt. Seeds in one row; 
the perfect ones grooved on all the angles; in shape they are 
miniatures of gracilenta. Though somewhat resembling dis- 
persa, the very short calyx lobes and long attenuate capsule 
readily distinguish it from any other species. It has been 
hitherto confused with dispersa and all the herbaria specimens 
examined have borne the latter name. I listed it as ‘‘dispersa”’ 
in my county lst. Abrams in Flora Los Angeles Co., names it

A. desertorum, n sp. 
Annual, 4 to 6 in. high, branching from base; basal leaves 
narrowly lanceolate 146 to 2 in. long, 1 to 2 lines wide, taper- 
ing to a long petiole like base, pinnatifid or deeply toothed, 
stem leaves broader, sessile, ovate lanceolate, floral bracts 
ovate-lanceolate, 1 to 2 lines broad, the longest half the length 
of the capsule; calyx lobes 1 line long, flowers shehtly longer; 
eapsule 6 to 9 lines long, narrow lnear-clavate; seeds in one 
row, grooved on angles. The whole plant greyish with close- 
set, short stiff hairs. 
The Arizona species distributed as albicaulis probably in- 
cludes this species, which differs materially from albicaulis in 
floral characters and seeds. It however does not agree with the 
specimens I gathered at Lordsburg, N. M., but the material I 
possess is too scanty to pass judgment upon. Brandegee, March 
30, 1901, Signal Mit., Colordao Desert near boundary line: Hall 
No. 2788, April, 1902, Coyote Canyon, 500 ft. alt., western 
border of the Colorado Desert, Cal. The former is the type.
