4-24-39 Sphaeralcea fasciculata Arthur T634 = Malvaceae fasciculatum Greene M309 Fl. L.T. Crespo Drive. Shrub about 5 ft high. Seems surely this but upper lvs (only ones coll.) have lobes not pointed (as in ill #167 M) but rounded more like ill #166 M. (See M. Thumberi Gray B.M.G.C.P. 487) Stigmas capitate, bractlets present, ovules one ascending (see lacy M304). St, lvs, calyx, plant stellate scurfy. [5-19-39 Fl. Pacific Beach, edge grove and G.S.T. 7-28-39? Sphaer? Fl. Capsule promptly dehiscent. Red stellate hairy. 4-24-39? Cleomeanthemum Flowery young fl. L.T. Crespo Drive near bridge. Bracts well imbricate vs carious (only the very base young bract green) the thin broad, rounded tips making top of bud silvery v later deflexed. Recepta- cle, convex, rounded to broadly conical, naked (as far as careful inspection reveals). Achene gray fls with ventral wing and a concave lateral wing medial side. Disk achene (per B+ ribbed) with L.T.S. a polarange on vertical side. Need one circle diam. Rays white. Plant glabrous, lvs glaucous, 3-pinnate sided (but almost to mid ribs) the segments about 2 mm. wide v rather distant. Plant not annual, at least 15 in high. R.B.K. suspects this is same as observed elsewhere near L.T. and is an escape. Matches nothing found in T or M. In B.M.G.C.P. ^ C. anthifolium Brown, p760. Lvs crushed lachs have slight odor (perhaps suggestive of honey?) * [4-26-39? ] L.T. along shore walk Exactly the same. Com- mon as an - escape - in near - lots.
