CREPIS NANA 

 Bv Fr^d E. Burlew 



'T^HE plate is a photograph by the writer of one of two speci- 

 -*- mens of Crepis nana which were found in bloom on July 

 13th, 1916, on the easterly side of Mt. San Antonio, some three 

 or four hundred feet below the summit, on the Glen Ranch 

 trail, near a small snow field. 



A letter from Professor Harvey M. Hall in regard to the 

 plant says: "It has not before been known from south of Far- 

 well Gap, Tulare County. It is rare even in the Sierra Nevada, 

 where it occurs at a few places of considerable altitude. It 

 ranges north to the Arctic regions and occurs also in the Rocky 

 Mountains.''
