ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.

BY S. B. PARISH.

Since the completion of the Botany of the Geological Survey a considerable number of plants have been detected which were not then known to grow within the limits of the State, and the range of others has been found to be much more extensive than is indicated in that work. Probably these additions and extensions have been more numerous in the southern counties than elsewhere. Owing to the premature discontinuance of the survey the botanical exploration of these counties was less thorough than in the upper part of the State, which then contained a far larger proportion of the total population than at present. With a single notable exception the South was also entirely without local botanists, Mr. Daniel Cleveland having been for years the only resident cultivator of the science. It was not until near the completion of the second volume that a few records are made based on the collections made by Rev. J. C. Nevin and Mr. W. G. Wright, and the explorations of Parry and Lemmon. Since then the knowledge of the southern flora has been greatly enlarged by others who have become residents of the region, among whom may be mentioned Mr. W. S. Lyon, Mr. C. R. Orcutt, Dr. H. E. Hasse, Dr. A. Davidson and Prof. A. J. McClatchie.

This botanical activity has resulted in the discovery of a number of new species, and the extension to this region of others.

Some of these extensions have been noted in the last volume of the Synoptical Flora, or in recent monographs and other papers. A considerable number, however, remain as yet unrecorded, and some of the more interesting of these are given in the following list, which makes no pretense to completeness, and, indeed, might easily be considerably enlarged. The place of publication is cited for these species not enumerated in the Botany of the Survey, and these are additions to the flora of the State, as well as to that of Southern California. The others extend the range of more northern plants not heretofore recorded from the southern counties. With the exception of a few rare species none of those are included whose previously known range was south of the latitude of San Francisco.

Phytographically these northern plants belong to the Sierra Nevadan flora, and they form most of the additions to the vegetation of our higher mountains. The Sonoran flora of the arid regions to the east, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, has supplied the additional desert plants, and some of those which climb the desert flanks of the mountains. The stations for the first class are in many cases the southern limit of the species, and those for the second class the western or northern limit. Some exceptional plants will be noticed by the reader. All stations recorded are authenticated by specimens in the herbarium of the writer, and when no other collector's name is cited his is to be understood.
