6-21-39 Axirifex californicus Moq. T326; M138 F1
(See 4-4-39) Fl. Pacific Beach. Foot flowering St. As many
(as desc.) from a thick (almost woody) taproot. Sawy
only as noted 4-4-39. St now bare below only a
few of the longer lvs (10/15mm) remain on upper parts.
But branches & tips & sts thickly covered with smaller
lvs (at most 5mm) which (before coll.) made R.B.K. think
it might be Cressa globulosa except instead of hairs
would always clearly distinguish the 2 species)
Bracts taper to deltoid base (not ± truncate as in A.
decumbens), so that greatest width is not conspicuously "below middle". Bracts often gaping.
Plant heavily fruited & occasional remains of
terms found above ground. no other terminal spikes (which
are to M. and T. ± expectable). Seems to be no other
pars in M. Bracts entire & not appendaged.
(R.B.K. inclined to think 4-4-39 the same species)
6-21-39 Caleile edentula Hook. var. Californica Fern. T422;
M143 Unripe fr. Pacific Beach. Fort G Loring St. Unmistakable
R.B.K. does not know how var. differs from species G427
6-21-39 Tetragonix expansa Murr. T342; M153 Unique
fr. With above Note 2 of the [several] fr. Abnormal in
that from upper part of calyx tube grows another (no)
smaller fr.
