G6 LEAFLETS. 



The types of C. iniegerrimus were of course, taken by 

 Douglas in just that region whence we have the so-called C. 

 Andersonii. 



And yet, in the original diagnosis, there is some indication 

 that the broad-leaved species had in some shape confronted the- 

 authors ref erj-ed to ; for the phrase "foliis 3-costatis" is not 

 true of the specimens to which I refer. That is a mark of the 

 other shrub that has so often been collected and which has 

 usurped the name C. iniegerrimus in the herbaria, and in the 

 books. But, the originals of the species so named, as preserved 

 at Kew, and with leaves unvaryingly narrow-oblong, have only 

 a delicate and strictly pinnate venation. The necessary dis- 

 placement of the name C. Andersonii by its reduction to syno- 

 nymy involves the restoration of Dr. Kellogg's C. Nevadensis 

 for the beautiful shrub that so abounds in the foothills of the 

 interior of the State. 



0. INTEGEERIMUS, Hook, & Am. Bot. Beech. 329, not of 

 American authors. C. Andersonii, Parry, Proc. Davenp. Acad. 

 V. 172; Greene, Fl. Er. 81. Leaves thin, narrowly oblong or 

 oblong-elliptic, very obtuse, delicately pinnate- veined, glabrous. 



C. Nevades-sis, Kell. Proc. Calif. Acad. ii. 152. fig. 45. C. 

 iniegerrimus, Greene, 1. c, and of American authors generally, 

 not Hook. & Arn. Leaves firm, oval, obtuse or acutish, obtuse at 

 base but not subcordate, 1 to IJ inches long, veins beneath white 

 and prominent, the lowest lateral pair long and nearly parallel 

 with the midvein, both faces appearing glabrous; a very fine 

 pubescence on the petioles and along the veins beneath. 



Chiefly of the Sierra Nevada, Calif., and at middle elevations; 

 good specimens in U. S. Herb, from Grant Springs, Mariposa 

 Co., L. P. Ward, 1895, Calaveras Big Trees, Brandegee, 1891, 

 Placer Co., Mrs. Hardy, 1893. From the higher elevations of 

 the Coast Range we have what appears the same in Baker's n. 

 3004, and Heller's 5841 and 5886. 



C. PUBERULUS. Nearest C. Nevadensis, the leaves as large, 

 more oval and obtuse, finely and often even silkily pubescent on 

 both faces, most so on the veins beneath, these far less promi- 

 nent than in the last. 



Peculiar to the mountains of southern California, the oldest
