Brodiaea laxa Watson. YUCCA MOJAVENSIS Sargent. The datile, or wild date, of the Mexi- cans, better known to Americans as the Spanish bayonet, Mexican dagger plant, wild banana, etc., occurs from the Mohave desert to the vicinity of San Quintin, Lower California, extend- ing eastward through the arid regions of Arizona and Sonora, and perhaps to Texas. It attains almost tree-like pro- portions, and forms extensive forest- like plantations. Such a forest, when in full bloom, is a sight to be remem- bered. The large, waxy, bell-shaped flowers, of a creamy, sometimes mark- ed with prune purple, are of surpass- ing beauty. The fruit does not seem to mature well near the coast. It is somewhat of the size and shape of a banana, of a sweetish taste, slightly reminding one of a fig. Near San Diego the plant is commonly under 8 feet in height; in the interior attains to 15 or 18 feet. Genus HELIANTHUS Linnaeus.

The blue cypress is a handsome, slen- der tree, 40 to possibly 60 feet high, with beautiful exfoliating reddish bark and glaucous foliage, first discovered on Guadalupe island, and later found in rocky canyons near Ensenada, on the mainland. It proves not rare in some of the canyons near the interna- .190 tional boundary, and Perish records it in "ravines near the Old Mission, San Diego, not abundant" (Zoe., 4:352). Its graceful habit and compact growth makes it one of the most ornamental species in the genus. PINUS COULTERI Don. The big cone pine is a tree 1-2% feet in diameter and 50 or more feet high, occurring above 5,000 feet usually, from Mount Diablo to the Catalina • mountain and on the mountains north- east of Ensenada in "Lower California. The cones are long, oval pointed, 10-14 inches long and 4 or 5 inches in diame- ter, yellowish brown, persistent for many years on the tree, the scales with a very stout, long incurved point (some- times 2 inches long.) PIXUS LAMBERTIANA Lam. The sugar pine attains at times a height of 300 feet and a diameter of 8 to 20 feet, with light brown smoothish bark, splitting in small sections. The bright brown cylindrical cones are 1 to iy2 feet long, 3-4 inches wide, on pe- duncles 3 inches in length, containing smooth, black seeds Vz inch long. "The exundation from the partially burned tree loses its resinous qualities and ac- quires a sweetness similar to that of sugar or manna, for which it is some- times used, whence the name of sugar pine." (Watson, Botany of California, 2:123). The sugar which I have col- lected from trees in the Cuyamaca mountains was very sweet, fine grained and white as snow. PIXUS MURICATA Don. A small pine, growing near San Isi- dro, in Lower California, not known from San Diego county, is found, only near the coast, as far north as Mendo- cino—where it grows 50 to 80 or 120 feet high. At San Isidro trees only 3 feet high were perfecting cones, which are said to persist over 30 years on the tree The leaves are in pairs. The cones are sessile, ovate, about 3 inches long, with stout prickles on the outside. The cones occurring in whoils around the stem, and remaining closed for many years, are one of the curiosities of Cal- ifornia botany. PINUS JEFFREYI Murr. The Jeffrey or black pine is a tree 75 feet high, trunk 3 feet in diameter, usu- ally found in the mountain valleys near small streams, extending into Lower 191 192 California.

American aioe; commonly called the century-plant, as it was formerly sup* posed to flower only after the lapse of a century. It produces a tall flowering stem at an age of 15 to 20 years, when It dies after maturing seed. It is the famed pulque plant of Mexico, the fermented juice forming an intoxicating liquor known as pulque. The juice of this, and various other species, when distilled, forms mescal— nearly pure alcohol. Ex- tensive plantations are cultivated near Mexico City for the production of these drinks— the greatest curse of the nation: Varipua foliage varieties are widely planted in California for tropical effect being a valuable decorative plant, with- standing drought and neglect.

San Bernardino mts., Cal. ERYTHEA ARMATA Watson. The Tecos grandes is the fruit of the beautiful blue palm of Lower Cali- fornia, and forms an important article of food with the Indians, ripening in July and August. The fruit is the size of a common marble, with sweet mealy pulp surrounding the large stone (. % inche in diameter). The tree grows 40 feet high, bearing its fan-shaped glaucous leaves in a very graceful manner. This palm was first found in the Camillas canyon, Lower Cali- fornia, which opens out onto the Colo- rado derest, by Dr. Edward Palmer. Dr. J. N. Hose has since found it in Mexico, east of Mazatlan, I believe. The seeds require from six months to three years in which to germinate— the older seeds germinating more quickly than when fresh from the tree. I have had them germinate readily when over ten years old. QZI.XA ACHII.I.AEFOLIA Bentham.

These diminutive plants are found in a great variety of forms and in abundance in the vicinity of San Die- jro, and southward along; the c«-ast of Raja California The shrubs and Miches are often covered, especially In the vi- cinity of the sea where subjected to the influence of frequent fogs or moist ocean breezes. Euphorbia misera, species of Atriplex, Lycium, and other genera are thus dec- orated,—the trunks and branches with the microscopic fruits of Lecapora and still more inconspicuous genera, while the tops are festooned and often almost concealed by the luxuriant rr^owth of fo- liaceous species, Ramalina. Rocce'ta Sic. The me'-ns around San iMegn are pro- lific in rqr+h forms, the hard stm-b^ked ground being largely colored with the 371 bright red, yellow, black, or white fruits and thalli ot Biatora, Rinodina, &c. The pebbles and boulders ireely scat- tered over these mesas (and these re- marks apply with equal force to the me- sas of Baja California, at least as far as Lagoon Head) are also brightly colored with the thick red fruits of Placodium bob.cinum, the black species known as Verruca ria nigrescens, with the lar^e black fruit ot Lecanora atra with its broad \vhite thallus, or with various broad patches of some foliaceous species — white, yellow, brown, or of some otlr er tint or shade that harmonizes with its surroundings, — contrasting pleasantly with the reddish brown earth or the grey colored stones upon which they are com- fortably seated. The weather-stained shingles that Stockton used to roof the old mission of San Diego were highly colored with the commoner species of lichens when I first knew that historic edifice- Other roofs and fences of more recent origin are sim- ilarly decorated, and often prove of great attraction to the botanist as furnishing data relative to thtir rapidity of growth. The humble home of the trap-door spider (Cteniza californica), securely closed b)' a neat fitting door, tightly held against possible intruders, is oiten found further concealed by a luxuriant growth of lichens. Whether the sagacious lady of the honse is to be credited with their transplanting, as is claimed by some nat- uralists, or whether they themselves se- lected the site of their abode, and reached full maturity after the spider's house was built, are questions which it would be interesting to have settled. Turning away from the close proximity of the sea, we find the rocks in the rug- ged canyons which bieak through the foothills covered with a multitude of equally bright and pretty lichens, ivhich often actually lend color to the whole landscape. Thus the recks at the he;.d of the celebrated Cantiilas c'tnyon. in northern Baja California, are i ich yellow 372 while the rocks in the San Tehno Can- yon, near San Quintin, Lower California, are white with lichens— whitened as if they had Deen haunted by sea fowl for centuries!

Perhaps no greater service can be done the rising generation in America than the establishment of a bureau where specimens of plants, insects, minerals, etc., could be sent, with a fair prospect of securing the correct names. Scientific activity has never been greater, and institutions glad to render satch aid have never been more numerous. Yet even a professional botanist, with an acquaintance with specialists, and the specialists them- pelves, with all the available facilities of modern institutions, find infinite difficulties in their way. Botany is not an exact science, and its litera- ture has become so intricate and cum- bersome that no one can hope to fully master it. As the late Thomas Mee- han has remarked, the greatest need at the present time is not more liter- ature, but an index to what we al- ready have. To render the subject Etlll more difficult, there has arisen much controversy over nomenclature, until no one can be quite sure as to the names that should be used. One writer (Heller, Muhlenbergia 1:135) remarks that he "can see no object in burdening literature with varietal or form names." Hence ev- ery albino must be ranked as a spec- ies, or remain nameless. Every dis- tinct variety must be raised to spe- cific rank or ignored. Even this could be borne, if botanists would refrain from describing specimens as species, but each must be allowed individual freedom, to describe new species of thunder, If he likes, as one notable American botanist has done. Such a bureau as Is needed, would require for the naming of American plants alone a library that would cost far more than $100,000, an herbarium that would require years to form, and trained specialists with unlimited leisure and patience, to solve the problems that would confront them. A botanical garden on no mean lines would also be found indispensable to 376 the proper conduct of the work, Fools rush in where angels fear to tread — and this magazine is not yet equipped for the work outlined. We shall, however, from time to time give practical directions and advice to those seeking to take up botanical work. As a possible help to the student, we have decided to give carefully compiled descriptions of the plants of the southwest, bringing together the many scattering descriptions as far as possible, with the hope that in time the beginner, by saving up these pages.

As recognized by many botanists, this genus contains over 200 species, natives of tropical America,, the West Indies, and Galapagos Islands, including what others class as separate genera— Echinocereus, Echinopsis, and Pilocereus. Until bet- ter known, many of the varied forms cannot with certainty be referred to the proper sections of this great genus, which is characterized by Bentham and Hooker as follows: — Calyx tube produced beyond the ovary; lobes numerous, exterior scale-like, interior elongated, spirally imbricated: petals indefinite, larger than the calyx lobes, spreading1, stamens numerous; fila- ments adnate to the base of the calyx, the inner free; ovary exserted. scaly: style filiform: stigmata 5 to indefinite: fruit scaly or tuberculated: flowers lateral, often night-blooming. CEREUS ALAMOSENSIS Coulter. Sina spinosa of Sonora; 2-8 feet high, 2- 10 branches from the base with joints 1-4 feet long, flexuous or decumbent, often forming arches and rooting at the joints, and thus spreading over wide areas, sometimes 100 feet in diameter or more; ribs about 7, slightly tuberculated.

This has much the same aspect as Cer- eUs Engelmann:, With similar variations in the color of the spines, and bears a similar edible fruit. C. Emoryi Emgelmann, Am. Jour. Set. II. 14:338. The Velvet cactus occurs in thickets often a hundred feet in di- ameter, near the seashore from LoS Angeles county, California, south to Las Huevitas, in Baja California ( Brand egfce). In a San Diego garden it has attained a height of 10 feet, with unusually thick joints, but the stems are commonly prostrate, 2-3 feet long, 1% inch in diameter: flow- ers abundant near the top of the branches, rather short, yellow, 2 inches or more wide: fruit iy2 inches in diameter, densely covered with numerous pulvilli, each bearing 20-25 stiff yellow spines, from 2-6 lines long, 3 of them stouter and longer than the rest, often an inch long: seed 1.2-1.4 line longr, with a very prominent keel and linear hilum. (5-10) C. £ng;elmaiml. This beautiful Cush- ion cactus was discovered by t)r. C. C. Parry, who named it in honor of his life-long: friend, Dr. George Eng-elmann, whose botanical studies had been especially directed toward the Cactaceae. It was found near San Felipe, in the mountains east of San Diego, California, and in Ari- zona, and also occurs in Utah, Nevada, and Baja California. In the Mohave desert large oval masses containing 75 or more heads from one root have been observed, but commonly 4-8 heads occur loosely in a Cluster, 3-12 inches high, 2-3 in diameter: ribs 10-14. interrupted: spines usually whitish, often brown or varicolored, straight or flexuous. anervilar, radials 1^-1(5. an inch loner or less, the later- als long-est, the 4-8 centrals 3 inches long or less: flower about 2 >g across, open night and day for about a 383 week before closing; scales of the ovary 45-50, the lower ones minute, the upper sepaloid, brownish, half inch long, nearly one-fourth wide at base; axils of the scales bearing 12-15 or more short white spines imbedded in wool, forming spiny areolae in fruit, easily detached at maturity but not deciduous: sepals 12-15, brownish along- the midvein outside; petals of equal number, magenta color, 2 Inches long-, oblanceolate; stamens many, nearjy an inch long, filaments magenta, stigmata 12, green, at first erect: flowers in May or June, fruit ripeninsr in July, the crimson pulp of o, delicious strawberry flavor: seeds black. (5-20) CEREUS ERUCA Brandegee. "Prostrate, very rarely branched, 13-rib- bed, 3-4 fe>et long, 3-4 inches in diameter; rooting from the under side of the older growth, decaying at one end and growing forward at the other, generally in patch- es of 20-30, probably originating from a common center; areolae 4-6 mm in diam- eter, separated about the same distance; spines about 20, stout, ash-colored, less than an inch long, the exterior cylindric- al, the interior stouter, angular, some- what the lower central one much flat- tened, more than an inch long, angular, strongly reflexed. Common on the sand of MagxMlprta island and about San Jorge, Baja California. Its local name Is 'chil- enola.'

"Erect, columnar, sim- ple or wfth a few erect branches to- ward the upper partr rfbs 18-21; areolae ovate-orbicular, woolly when young, bearing 12-16 exterior slender spines and 4-6 much stouter inner ones, the former %-!% inches long, the latter 1-2% inches: flowers lateral near the woolly top of the stem and branches, 3-5 inches long and 2 or 3 in diameter, open day and night: stig- mata 14-18, slender, greenish-yellow: fruit 2.5 or 3 Inches long, beset with 30 or 40 small scales, woolly in their axils, bursting irregularly by 3 or 4 valves and dropping the greenish white pulp with its black seeds. Com- mon along the Rio Colorado, on rocky slopes, and eastward through Arizona. The w*oody skeleton consists of long- rods, corresponding to sinuses between the ribs, in younger plants distinct, in older ones connected by a network of 284 fibers and forming a hollow cylinder.
