to 8000 ft. on the south slope of San Antonio Mountain, and to nearly the same 
altitude on the south side of the divide between Seven Oaks and Bear Valley. 
On the desert slopes of the mountains it has been collected as low down as the 
juniper belt along Rock Creek.

Brandegee, May 14, 1895; Whitewater, alt. 1126 ft., Parish 2976. Lower 
California: no locality, F. E. Fish, May 7, 1883 (this is herbarium sheet no. 
45671 of the National Herbarium. The locality is not given and two labels 
are attached, one purporting to be OrcuTtT’s and the other Fisu’s, but neither 
is apparently original. The specimens are not in flower, but seem to belong 
here); near Ensenada, Jones 3739 (this plant together with a specimen collected 
by Brandegee, May 20, 1893, on San Pedro Martir Mountain, Brann described 
as californicum subsp. australe var. pubens subvar. coaractatum. Jones’s speci- 
men may well be placed with ¢richocalyx, although the specimen at hand is too 
crappy to warrant more than a guess, but Brandegee’s specimen is strikingly 
dicecai. It is much like typical angustifolium in foliage characters and size 
of flowers, but the filaments are a little more united to the corolla tube. In this 
respect it seems intermediate between angustifolium and trichocalyx).

mostly about 5, cm. long, 8-20 mm. wide, tapering from near the 
middle to both ends, glabrous and glutinous above, at least in age, 
densely covered beneath with a white tomentum obscuring the 
reticulations: branches of the inflorescence pubescent; flowers 
crowded in the scorpioid cymes: sepals densely white-pubescent,
