ocr, 1899.] PLANTS. 147 
Draba breweri Wats. Sierra Alpine Draba. 
Collected east of Mud Creek Canyon at an altitude of 13,000 feet by 
Miss Wilkins; not observed elsewhere. This Draba ad Polemoninm 
pulchellum are the only plants found at so great an elevation. (Identi- 
fied by I’. V. Coville.) 
Streptanthus orbiculatus Greene. 
A Hudsonian species common on pumice soil in stony places at and 
below timberline all the way around the mountain. The plantis easily 
recognized by its long curved slender pods and its rather large domed 
leaves. The length of the large tapering root only slightly exceeds the 
height of the plant. (Identitied by Professor Greene.) 
Chrysamphora californica (Torr.) Greene. California Pitcher Plant. 
(=Darlingtonia Auct.) 
This interesting pitcher plant is exceedingly local in distribution. 
Mr. Elmer Applegate tells me that it is common in the upper part of 
the Sacramento Canyon, a short distance from Sisson Tavern. It has 
been reported as occurring in the ‘marshes’ of Shasta, but we did not 
find it on the mountain, nor did we find any marshy areas more than a 
few rods in extent. 
Drosera rotundifolia Linn. Sundew. 
Collected by Miss Wilkins in the springy bog just above Wagon 
Camp in the Canadian zone. Not observed elsewhere. 
Mitella pentandra Hook. 
Common in the heather patches along the overhanging banks of 
streams in the Hudsonian zone. Abundant at Squaw Creek Camp. 
(Identified by Professor Greene.) 
Parnassia californica (Gray) Greene. Grass-of-Parnassus. 
This elegant flower is common along the water courses of the Hud- 
sonian zone, usually growing along the overhanging banks of the tiny 
rivulets. It blossoms late, and a few plants were still in flower when 
snow fell, the last week in September. 
Saxifraga bryophora Gray. 
Reported by Miss Eastwood from the timberline region on Horse 
Camp Trail; not found by us. 
Saxifraga tolmiei' T. & G. Alpine Rock Saxifrage. 
Common above timberline, where it usually forms small dense mats 
in moist placcs among rocks. On Inconstance Creek, on the north side 
of Shasta, it was found as low as 7,600 feet. On the south slope it 
ranges up to 11,000 feet, or possibly higher. On the cold northeast 
side of Red Butte it occurs among the rocks with O.yria digyna. (See 
p. 50.) 
} The spelling tolmai should be regarded as an obvious typographical error.
