writer (figs. 2-4). The rather abundant material and the fuller 
notes now permit a complete description of the plant, as follows: 
Shrub 3 mm. tall, to tree 3-9 dm. in diameter and at least 12 
and probably 15m. in height; bark furrowed, gray; branchlets 
straight, slender, yellowish, glabrous to puberulent, more or less 
shining, seasonal twigs usually densely pubescent to subpilose; 
bud scales small, 2-4mm. long, color and pubescence as in 
branchlets. 
Leaves numerous; stipules 1-3 mm. long, or 8—-1o mm. long on 
vigorous shoots, semiclordate to subreniform or sublunate, glandular- 
denticulate to dentate, often densely glandular on the upper 
(inner) surface also (see Ball 1821, 2069; Chase 5517); petioles 
3-6 mm. long, yellowish, densely pubescent to glabrate; blades 
linear-lanceolate, usually somewhat falcate, 8-15 mm. wide, 6-10 
cm. long, commonly 8 mm. by 8 cm., on new shoots up to 2.4 by 
15cm., usually acute at base, acuminate at apex, margins finely 
and shallowly glandular-denticulate with about 8 teeth per cm., 
green or yellowish green on both sides, often pubescent or puberu- 
lent until half grown, usually glabrous at maturity or the midrib 
beneath permanently pubescent; veins prominent above. 
Aments coetaneous, numerous, solitary, terminating lateral 
leafy peduncles 2—4 cm. long, and bearing 3—6 small leaves; rachis 
densely pubescent to pilose; scales oblanceolate to lanceolate- 
oblong, or the staminate obovate, occasionally toothed or even 
lacerate at apex, 2.5-3 mm. long, yellow, more or less densely pi- 
lose, sometimes nearly glabrous on outer apical portion, deciduous; 
pistillate aments (originally described from immature parasitized 
specimens) 3-6 or 8 cm. long, 1.5-2 cm. wide, lax; capsules ovate- 
conic, 5.5-7 mm. long, roughened, thinly to densely pilose with 
gray hairs at anthesis, becoming glabrous at maturity; pedicels 
2-3 mm. long, pilose, becoming glabrous; style less than 0.5 mm. 
long; stigmas divided, o.3-0.5 mm. long; staminate aments 4-6 
or 7cm. long, 1-1.2 cm. wide; stamens 5-6, filaments pilose on 
lower third or half. : 
S. Gooddingii is found along streams and about springs from southwestern 
New Mexico to southern Nevada (Lincoln County), Baja California, and 
thence northward through the interior of California to Tehama County, in
