Trifolium fendleri Greene, Pittonia 3: 221. 1897.

"Wet meadows and about cold springy places in the mountain parks of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico; also along irrigating ditches among the lower foothills and on the plains, here an immigrant from its native subalpine stations."

From its specific name it is to be inferred that Fendler's collection from the vicinity of Santa Fe is to be taken as the type. If this is true the plant found about Santa Fe, the only native Trifolium in the region, is not a subalpine plant at all. In the Santa Fe Mountains I have never seen it growing above about 2,250 meters.

Vicia leucophaea Greene, Bot. Gaz. 6: 217. 1881.

In the North American Flora Dr. J. K. Small gives the type locality incorrectly, as the "Moro" River.

RUTACEAE.

Astrophyllum dumosum Torr. Pac. R. Rep. 2: 161. 1855.

=Choisya dumosa (Torr.) A. Gray.

"On the Organ Mountains," Pope in 1854.

This interesting plant is not known to occur in the Organs proper, but it is found just to the north in the San Andreas Range, and perhaps it was first collected there. Whether or not it is found in the Franklin Mountains to the south I do not know. Pope passed through the pass between the Organs and the San Andreas, so that it is probable that he saw the shrub there.

Ptelea formosa Greene, Contr. Nat. Herb. 10:59. 1906.

"Sierra Blanca," August 17, 1897, Е. О. Wooton 657, at 2,120 meters. Collected at Gilmores Ranch on Eagle Creek.

Ptelea neomexicana Greene, Contr. Nat. Herb. 10: 68. 1906.

"In the Black Range," October 4, 1904, at 2,270 meters, O. B. Metcalfe 1479.

Ptelea parvula Greene, Contr. Nat. Herb. 10: 64. 1906.

"Summit of the Sierra Blanca," August 1, 1897, E. O. Wooton 658. Doctor Greene says, in discussing this plant, that it was collected at an "altitude of 6,300 feet, which is about that of the summit." This is a mistake, for the summit of the range reaches an elevation of almost 12,000 feet. The specimens were collected at the Mescalero Agency, which is much lower.

Ptelea subvestita Greene, Contr. Nat. Herb. 10: 67. 1906.

"Dry hills about Silver City and Fort Bayard," July 20, 1880, E. L. Greene.

Ptelea undulata Greene, Contr. Nat. Herb. 10: 62. 1906.

=Ditaxis neomexicana (Muell.) Heller.

"In Novo-Mexico,” Wright 643 and 1797.

The first of these numbers is certainly Texan; the second may be New Mexican.

Croton neomexicanus Muell. Linnaea 34: 141. 1865.

"In Novo-Mexico inter Western Texas et El Paso," Wright 642.

The description of this locality would be truly amazing if it were to be given to-day. It refers, of course, to a Texan collection.

Ditaxis cyanophylla Wooton & Standley, Bull. Torrey Club 36: 106. 1909.

Euphorbia montana gracilior Engelm. in Torr. Bot. Mex. Bound. 192. 1859. = Tithymalus sp.

"In New Mexico,” Fendler 786, probably from the Santa Fe region; also Wright 661 (undoubtedly Texan) and 1825.

=Chamaesyce neomexicana (Greene).

"On the plains of the upper Gila in western New Mexico,” E. L. Greene.

Tragia stylaris Muell. Linnaea 34: 180. 1865.

Under this citation no type was designated for the species proper, but instead the plant is described as having three forms. Of these the first is latifolia. The type of this was collected "in Novo-Mexico," by Fendler in 1847 (no. 776), in all probability somewhere around Santa Fe. The other two forms are Texan.
