672 (already sent in) variety from Calavasa, 600 ft. Dec, 26, at this 
place the plants are larger (13-24 inches) and have larger leaves; probe, 
ly the more luxuriant growth is due to the damp situation. I thinlc I can 
see a slight difference in the Achenia., 
This species is local but I have found it quite abundant in some 
places below 1500 ft. generally shady ground in clearings or open forest^ 
Flower yellow,

I have no doubt that this is a dwarf variety of No.. 531, and there 
are found forms which may be considered intermediate; but the variety, 
in general, is constant and appears worth a number.
