A. viridescens, Heller. 
Mr. Heller kindly sent me a specimen of this. While the 
heht green color of the plant, and the small flower seem dis- 
tinetive enough, yet the hairs on the capsule show slightly 
pustulate at base, and the shape of the leaves are rather sug- 
eestive of affinis.. Halls No. 6073, from Sheep Hole Mts., 
Mohave Desert, San Bernardino Co., 1s probably this same 
species, though the capsule is more hirsute, and the flowers 
larger. It may prove to be but a variety of affinis. 
A. affinis, (Greene) Rydb. 
A species of the interior plains extending to Tueson, Ariz. 
The specimens distributed by Mr. Toumey as albicaulis are 
evidently not that species and may be tentatively placed here.

A. davidsoniana, Abrams. 
Probably limited to the high mountains west of the Rockies 
Its altitudinal range and general distribution in California is 
apparently the same as pinetorum. On Wilson Peak. Los Ange- 
les Co., both are found close together among the pines. The 
seeds are in three rows in the eapsule.
