Tropidocarpum gracile Hook.

Tropidocarpum macrocarpum Hook. & Harv.; Greene, Proc.
Acad. Phila. 1895: 553. 1896.
No. 7689, collected April 14, at Randsburg, Kern county,
where it is plentiful on gravelly hillsides. It is a rather stout
plant, decidedly hirsute, prostrate, no part ever ascending, the
whole forming a roundish mat; and this feature is constant, not
only in open exposed places on the desert, but in pasture land
where there is a rank growth of other vegetation. It was ob-
served under the latter condition near the summit of the high
ridge west of McKittrick, at Tehachapi, and other places.
