M. Pierce on Oct. 15, 1923. It forms a broom-like, irregularly tufted, erect shrub, 5 to 6 ft. high, and grows in dry, rather gravelly places with such plants as Arteviisia tridentata and Ghryso- thamnus nauseosus var. viridulus Hall. ^ Lygodesmia spinosa Nutt. Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. N. S. 7:444. 1841. The first report of this species in Southern California can now be made. A small plant, not in flower, but with the characteristic tuft of wool at the base, was collected by Peirson in 1922 in the Swartout Valley region. A visit on Aug. 30 and 31, 1923 to the same region by Peirson and myself, resulted in our finding it fairly abundant on dry slopes and ridges both north (at 7,300 ft. Munz 7665) and south (at 8,450 ft., Mimz 7670) of Swartout Valley. On the north ridge it was associated with euch plants of the pine belt as Eriogonum microthecum Nutt. {Munz 7661), E. umbellatum var. stellatum Jones, Galium multiflorum Kell. var. parvifolium Parish. On the south ridge occur Eriogonum pusillum T. & G. {Munz 7676) and E. Parishii Wats. {Munz 7680), both unknown previously in the San Gabriel Mts. / Senecio occidentaUs (Gray) Gi-eene. Pittonia 4:122. 1900. The first collection made in Southern California was by F. W. and Mabel Peirson and myself, Munz 7590, near the summit of San Gorgonio Peak in August 1923. There it is locally abundant about rocks from 11,000 ft. to 11,400 ft. along the trail from Vivian Creek. Det. by 132. Please note that these images are extracted from s
