ocr., 1899.) PLANTS. 155 
Mentzelia levicaulis (Dougl.) T. & G. 
Rather common in Shasta Valley, but not found elsewhere about the 
mountain. This species seems to belong to the Upper Sonoran zone, 
and therefore has no place in the flora of Mount Shasta. 
Epilobium spicatum Lamarck. Willow Herb; Fire-weed. 
Abundant in places, chiefly on old burns in the Canadian and Tran- 
sition zones. At Wagon Camp it did not begin to flower until near the 
middle of August; at Sisson it was still in flower in places as late as 
the middle of September. 
Epilobium brevistylum Barbey. 
Collected at Wagon Camp, where it is tolerably common in moist 
places; the largest species next to spicatum. (Identified by Professor 
Trelease.) 
Epilobium oregonense Hausskn. 
Common at Wagon Camp. A large form occurring also at Wagon 
Camp Professor Trelease considers as probably EF. glaberrimum Barbey. 
?Epilobium hornemanni Reichenb. 
Some poor specimens, with exceedingly long seed capsules, collected 
by me a little below timberline about the end of the season, are doubt- 
fully referred to this species by Professor Trelease. 
Epilobium clavatum Trelease. 
Abundant in the heather meadows and along the edges of the cool 
streams of the Hudsonian zone at and a little below timberline. 
(Identified by Professor Trelease.) 
Epilobium pringleanum Hausskn. 
A tiny alpine species, rarely as tall as one’s thumb, occurring here 
and there on the borders of the highest streamlets above timberline. 
(Identified by Professor Trelease.) 
Epilobium obcordatum Gray. Rose Epilobium. 
Local—common near timberline on the steep west side (east slope) of 
Mud Creek Canyon. A remarkable plant, strikingly unlike the others 
of its genus. It has a woody base and is really a dwarf bush. Its 
large red flowers are showy and very handsome. (Identified by Miss 
Eastwood and Professor Trelease.) 
Gayophytum ramosissimum T. & G. 
Abundant throughout the Transition zone, where it was equally com- 
mon at Sisson and at Wagon Camp and was in flower as late as the end 
of September. (Identified by Miss Eastwood.) 
Carum gairdneri (Hook. & Arn.) Gray. 
Rather common in damp soil at Wagon Camp where the Canadian 
and Transition zones meet. (Identified by Dr. J. N. Rose.)
