of an Opuntia found in the New York Mountains at Barnwell to Rose, 
which he identifies as of this species, which in the intervening years 
had remained known only from the original imperfect specimens. 
OpunTIA PArryi Engelm. Amer. Jour. Sci. II. 14:339. 1852.— 
Two small clumps of this rare species were seen, June 1915, grow- 
ing in sandy soil on the open mesa at Leastalk. 
Gaura CoccINEA Nutt.; Pursh, Fl. 733. 1814.—Providence 
Mountains, Brandegee. New York Mountains, near Barnwell | 
(10254, June 4, 1915). 
* OENOTHERA MULTIJUGA Wats. Proc. Amer. Acad. 8:595.- 
1873.—Two plants of this little known species were collected at 
“The Tanks” in Furnace Creek, Death Valley (10045, May 18, 
1915). The type was from Utah. 
OENOTHERA PRIMIVERIS Gray, Pl. Wright. 2:58. 1853.— 
Apparently not infrequent in parts of the Mojave Desert in early 
spring. Randsberg and Barstow, K. Brandegee. Lavic, Hall 6103. 
Goffs (9646, March 22, 1915). : 
MENODORA SPINESCENS Gray, Proc. Amer. Acad. 7:388. 18638.— 
Very abundant on the mesa at Leastalk (10360, June 5, 1915), and 
conspicuous by the shining white fruit with which the low bushes 
were plentifully laden. A few taller shrubs were found in flower 
in the hills 14 miles northeast of Barstow (9795, April 23, 1915): 
Other collections are: Providence Mountains, Brandegee; Argus 
Mountain, Hall and Chandler; Ord Mountain, Hall and Chandler. 
* AMOBROMA SONORAE Torr. Ann. Lyc. N.Y. 8:51, pl. 1-— 
Sandhills near Meloland, Imperial Valley, W. C. Paccard in 1914. 
In May 1915 I saw a specimen on exhibition at Brawley in the same 
valley, which had been found in the neighborhood. The type was 
from adjacent Sonora. 
GILIA OCHROLEUCA Jones, Contrib. W. Bot. 8:35. 1898.—The 
type was collected in the Argus Mountains, and other collections 
are: Darwin Valley, Hall and Chandler 7103; Nelson Range, Hall 
and Chandler 7113; Barnwell, T. S. Brandegee; Kramer, K. Bran- 
degee; Rabbit Springs (9807, April 25, 1915). The species appears 
to be endemic in the Mojave Desert, the Colton specimen cited by 
BRAND (Engl. Pflanzenr. IV. 250: 105) being an error, as I am 
informed by JONES, to whom it is attributed.
