NOTES ON SOME SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PLANTS 
S Bi PARISH 
In the following list those plants whose names are designated 
by an asterisk are here first reported from the state; those marked 
by a dagger are additions to the known flora of the southern 
counties. The numbers under which specimens collected by the 
writer were distributed are inclosed in parentheses without the 
collector’s name; they are represented in the herbaria of California, 
Harvard, and Stanford Universities. 
* CHEILANTHES FEEI Moore, Ind. Fil. 38. 1857.—Providence 
Mountains, T. S. Brandegee (hb. Univ. Cal.). Erroneously 
reported in Zoe 5:153 as Notholaena Newberryi Eaton. ° 
PILULARIA AMERICANA R. Br. Berlin Monatsb. 1863:435-— 
Abundant in desiccating winter pools on a clay mesa near Upland, 
Ivan Johnston 34, March 8, 1917. The few previous collections in 
this state were made near San Diego and Santa Barbara, growing 
under similar conditions. 
ISOETES MELANOPODA PALLIDA Engelm. Trans. St. Louis Acad. 
4:387. 1882.—Abundant in the above pools, where it was collected 
at the same date by the same collector. While the plants are 
much smaller than indicated in the type character, the longest of 
the very narrow leaves being not quite 4 cm. long, they agree with 
specimens collected by Orcutt at San Diego and now in the U.S. 
National Herbarium, which were identified as authentic by 
A. A. Eaton and with which they were kindly compared by 
Mr. Maxon. 
* PASPALUM LaRingar Arech. Ann. Mus. Nac. Monteved. 
1:60. pl. 2. 1894.—In ground irrigated by the water tank at Palm 
Springs railway station, Colorado Desert (8620, September 20, 
1913). Mrs. AcNes CAs, by whom this grass was identified, 
informs me that there is another specimen in the herbarium of the 
United States Department of Agriculture, coming from Barrey 
Creek, Butte County.
