are erect in fruit. Petals white, oblong, a little shorter than the sepals. Stamens 10, 

 with fiat dilated filaments and oblong anthers. 



It has been suggested that this species is the same as H. grandis Hook. & Arn., but 

 I have seen a specimen collected by J. W. Blankinship in Humboldt Co., 1893, which 

 agrees fully with the description of H. grandis. Tliis specimen I must refer to H. Gali- 

 fornica and not to H. frondosa as it differs in no respect from the former, except in the 

 larger and fewer leaflets and slightly longer pedicels. 



Rather local in the bay region of California. Specimens examined :

Root perennial. Stems stout, .5-1 m. high, densely glandular and very fragrant, as 

 well as the foliage, leafy. Basal leaves numerous, long-petioled, pinnate ; leaflets 5-10 pairs. 

 Stem leaves smaller, the leaflets more crowded, all densely glandular-hirsute ; leaflets 

 2-5 cm. long, broadly obovate or orbicular in outline, toothed and incised, sometimes 

 3-5-cleft with mostly acute teeth, the upper often confluent. Inflorescence open cymose- 

 dichotomous ; pedicels short, 2-5 mm. long. Hypanthium campanulate, in fruit about 1 

 cm. in diameter, densely glandular and veined, often purple tinged ; bractlets 5-10 mm. 

 long, ribbed, ovate and generally 3-toothed at the apex, the middle tooth the longest, 

 somewhat exceeding the ovate acute sepals; bractlets and sepals generally erect in fruit. 

 Petals white, strap-shaped, oblong, much shorter than the sepals. Stamens 10, with flat
