462 Dissecting Material This is closely allied to No. 465, but the lower 
leaves and those of young plants are larger; the pedicels are ihisgearpo 
longer, the carpids have shorter beaks; the plant does not flower untiil 
it is well grown; and. it was found inland, oh the foot-hills^ No, 465 
being confined, apparently, to plains near the coast. I neglected to note 
the color of the flo^wer of 462.
