NEW CEANOTHUS. 67 



specimen in U. S. Herb., being a sheet from San Bernardino 

 Mountains, by G. R. Vasey, 1880. In 1891 Ooyille & Funston 

 took good material from Prazier Mountain to the westward of 

 the San Bernardino range, listing it as C. integerrivms ; but our 

 finest specimens are from Mr. Parish, nn. 308.3 and 3085, taken 

 from altitudes of 4000 and 5000 feet in the San Bernardino 

 Mountains in 1894. The pubescence is permanent, being as 

 obyious on mature fruiting specimens as" on those young and 

 barely in flower. 



C. MYBIANTHTJS. Leaves subcoriaceous, oval-oblong, li to 2 

 inches long, very obtuse at both ends, deep-green and glabrous 

 above, glaucescent beneath, sparsely pubescent on the prominent 

 whitish nerves, of which two are prolonged, yet not making the 

 leaf conspicuously triple-veined: flowering branches angular, 

 light-green, not warty or glandular ; thyrsiform inflorescence 6 

 to 8 inches long, rather rigid, paniculately branched and dense 

 with innumerable small white flowers. 



Fort Huachuca, Arizona, May, 1890, Dr. Edward Palmer. 

 Related to C. Palmeri; remarkable for large rigid leaves and a 

 notably compound inflorescence for this group. It might 

 almost as well be described as a close panicle. 



C. MOGOLLONICUS. Allied to C. Nevadensis, smaller, more 

 slender, with smaller foliage, the oval obtuse leaves mostly less 

 than an inch long, the largest W inches, deep-green, triple- 

 nerved, paler beneath, nearly or quite glabrous, the margins 

 usually entire, often 3-toothed at the summit, rarely with a few 

 lateral teeth; inflorescences short for this group, simple and 

 few-flowered. 



On Mogollon Creek, in the Mogollon Mountains, New Mexico, 

 at 8000 feet, 16 July, 1893, 0. B. Metcalfe. 



C. PEDUNCULAEis. Leavcs firm, oval-oblong, obtuse at base, 

 mucronately acute at apex, triple-nerved, pubescent on both 

 faces, an inch long or more; thyrsus short and simple, only 2 or 

 3 inches long, on a terete and pubescent leafy-bracted peduncle 

 of 6 or 7 inches ; bracts of the peduncle i inch long, oblong or 

 elliptic, acute, appressed-pubescent above, silky on the veins 

 beneath; bracts of the umbellules ovate or lanceolate, acnnii- 

 nate, silky-villous.
