Phoenicaulis pedicellata (Aven Nelson)
Arabis pedicellata Aven Nelson, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash.
17:91. 1904.
Streptanthus pedicellatus Aven Nelson, 1. c. 92.
No. 8293, collected May 21, in the first canyon south of
Bishop, Inyo county, in the Sierra foothills on steep slopes in
coarse granite sand. Our plant has somewhat broader and more
obtuse leaves and apparently smaller flowers than Baker’s 991,
mentioned under this species by Nelson in Proc. Biol. Soc.
Wash. 18:187. 1905. The type is no. 705, Kennedy and True,
from Hunter creek canyon, near Reno, Nevada. This plant
does not look like an Arabis in the field, and I think Nuttall’s
Phoenicaulis should be maintained. In accord with present dav
tendencies, several genera are liable to be segregated from A ra-
ins in the near future.
