recently found by the writer (No. 2063) on the south spur of 

 Cucamonga Pk., San Antonio Mts., where it grew with L. jormosus 

 in the Upper Transition Zone, alt. 6500 ft. 



The following errors have been detected in the original descrip- 

 tion: The measurements of the calyx lobes were reversed, the upper 

 lip is 4-5 mm. long (not 6-7 mm.) while the lower lip is 6-7 mm. 

 (not 4-5 mm.). The floral bracts average 8mm. in length, not 

 4mm. as given. 



Astragalus trichopodus Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. 6:218 (1865). 



Frequent on the low grassy hillsides from Carbon Canon, in the 

 hills south of Pomona, thru the Puente Hills to Turnbull Canon, 

 which is north of Whittier. Most abundant in the upper part of 

 Brea Canon. Munz 2ogj, Johnston ig64. Determination by 

 Professor M. E. Jones. 



Angelica tomentosa Wats., Proc. Amer. Acad. 11:141 (J876). 



Abundant in scattered sations in the San Antonio Mts. In the 

 Upper Chaparral Belt in the San Dimas Canon Watershed in the 

 vicinity of Brown's Fats, alt. 4000-5000 ft. and in the Cucamonga 

 Canon W^atershed in West Fork and about Charcoal Camp, alt. 

 3000-4750 ft. A very small colony was noted on the canon floor 

 of Cow Canon, alt. 3000 ft.. Lower Chaparral Belt. The species 

 is usually found in moist open places in the chaparral, not in- 

 ■Irequently with Pteris. Johnston 2106, 2141. 



Monardella saxicola Johnston, sp. nov. 



Perennial from a suffrutescent base; stems erect, l}-34 dm. high, 

 stiffly branching from near the base, covered with a fetrorse 

 pubescence; leaves elliptical to broadly lanceolate, obtusish, with 

 slightly revolute margins; blades H-4 cm. long, narrowed to a 

 petiole seldom over 5mm. long; under surface of leaves very pale, 

 densely puberulent, abundantly minutely punctate, with 2 or 3 

 pairs of lateral veins evident; upper surface of leaves light green, 

 only sparsely pubescent, midrib and laterals faintly descernable; 

 heads 1|-2| cm. wide; floral bracts strongly veined, membraneous, 

 ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 6-12 mm. long, acute to short acuminate, 

 villous; calyx 9 mm. long, villous on ribs and sparsely punctate in 

 the intercostal spaces; calyx teeth subulate, 1-H mm. long, densely 

 villous on the inner surface; corolla lavender, the pubescent tube 

 surpassing the calyx by at least 1 mm., lobes 3-4 mm. long; sta- 

 mens pubescent only at bases, very unequal, the upper about 

 equalling the upper corolla lip, the lower ones exceeding the lower 

 corrolla lip by 2 or 3 mm. 



Relationship: Nearest to M. hypoleuca Gray which it closely 

 approaches in habit of growth and in its similarly shaped, revolute 

 margined, bicolored leaves. In the character of the pubescence, 

 however, the plants are conspiciously different. M. hypoleuca 

 has tomentose stems and has a very dense tomentum on the under
