6 Contributions from the Gray Herbarium 
habitat as “ circa coloniam ruthenorum Ross in portu Bodega.”’ 
The species has not been found at Bodega but since the ecological 
conditions are the same as at Antioch, less than a hundred miles 
away, it may occur there and have been overlooked. On the other 
hand there is no proof that the plant was found originally in the 
immediate vicinity of Bodega. Therefore the attempt to apply 
Fischer and Meyer’s name to the relatively small-flowered plant 
common at Bodega is, it would seem, uncalled for. Their descrip- 
tion reads, ‘‘ corolla aurea, limbo 6 lin. in diametro ”’ and “ Species 
pulchritudine florum insignis atque distinctissima,”’ a characteri- 
' gation applicable to but one Amsinckia of the region, A. grandi- 
flora. The adoption of the name A. spectabilis for this plant results 
in the resurrection of the appropriate name A. Douglasiana A. DC. 
for the coastal species long known as A. spectabilis.
