 cm. long, 5-7 mm. wide, at basal attachment 3 mm. wide, upper leaves 

 few, alternate flowers 6 or 7 campaniilate subtended by narrow leaves, 

 5-10 cm. long; pedicels 2-3 cm. long; petals lanceolate, 2 cm. long, 8 

 mm. wide, greenish yellow above with scattered dark dots, darker 

 below, the gland semi-circular, very small; stamens 2/3 the length of

Type No. 3508 collected on a dry ridge at Pine Flats, Santa Paula 

 River by Lustin E. Martindale, May, 1922. 



While this plant seems closely similar to some of the forms of 

 F. lanceolata, the size and shape -of the leaves, ,color of the flowers 

 and the size of the anthers are sufficiently charactristic to entitle it 

 to specific rank. No specimens of F. lanceolata have been found 

 south of San Francisco. 



NOTES ON SOME SAN BERNARDINO PLANTS

Fraseri Parryi Torn. For the last three years I have found this 

 plant northwest of San Bernardino in the open ground among the 

 chaparral, about one mile away from the lower edge of the San 

 Bernardino Mts. I have noticed about a dozen plants altogether 

 in this time. I found one more there last week and I have no doubt 

 that a careful search would reveal quite a few at this station. I 

 am mentioning this occurence as it has always been a question as to 

 where Dr. Parry found the plants mentioned in the Bot. Cal. as 

 occuring "east of Los Angeles." It must be admitted that this sta- 

 tion is quite a distance from Los Angeles, still it might be the place 

 where he found his plants. In the Torrey Bulletin for Feb. Messers 

 Johnson and Munz mentioned the finding of one plant in the hills 

 north of San Dimas and speak of the species occurring in the Tran- 

 sition Zone of the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mts. Evidently
