No. 7965, collected Juue 5, in flower, just below Shasta
Springs, Siskiyou county, on the Sacramento, growing near the
water, bnt unshaded by trees. It occurred as a slender shrub
with few branches. It differs a little from the original from
“plains of the Oregon toward the sea, and at the mouth of the
Wahlamet,” in being finely serrulate with appressed teeth point-
ing forward, instead of “sharply serrulate with straight teeth,”
and quite glabrous, not “more or less pubescent beneath.”
