156 H. Brockmann-Jerosch. 
stipules united at base, toothed; inflorescence rather open, few-flowered; 
pedicels slender, 4 to 8 mm long, silky-pubescent; calyx pubescent, 
8-parted, the 4 outer lobes much broader and longer than the others, 
pubescent within; stamens 2; styles sometimes as many as 8. 
Type U. S. National Herbarium no. 452685, collected by J. N. Rose 
and Jos. H. Painter between Somoriel and Las Lajas, Hidalgo, 
August 5, 1905 (no. 9202). 
Apparently common in the high mountains of Mexico from Zacatecas 
to Oaxaca. 
3. Alchemilla subalpestris Rose, 1. c., p. 96. 
Perennial but with herbaceous stems, either single and erect or 
much branched at base and ascending; stems 10 to 30 cm long, often 
glabrous throughout or with scattered hairs on the stem, leaves, and 
bracts and very rarely on the calyx; basal and lower stem leaves on 
petioles sometimes 6 to 9 em long, somewhat orbicular in outline, more 
or less lobed and cleft; upper stem leaves perfoliate, the lobes 3 or 
4-cleft into linear obtuse teeth, the margins revolute; flowers subsessile; 
calyx usually glabrous, 8-lobed, the lobes nearly equäl; stamens 2; 
styles 2; fruiting calyx 1 mm long; seeds ovoid in outline, pointed. 
Apparently common in the high mountains throughout Mexico. 
I have frequently collected it, first in the Sierra Madre of Tepic, after- 
wards on Mount Orizaba and Mount Toluca, and several times on the 
high mountains surrounding the valley of Mexico. (Type: Rose n. 7928). 
This species is probably A. hirsuta alpestris Schlecht. & Cham.; at 
least it is the plant so understood by Dr. S. Watson and Mr. Hemsley. 
But I have not seen the type and with only the short original diagnosis 
I can not be sure of this, while in any case the name alpestris is a 
homonym and must be rejected.

Unterscheidet sieh von der var. genuina Gren. et Godr. durch den 
blauen, abwischbaren Wachsüberzug der Blatter), 
1) Diese Form ist vielleicht identisch mit der var. graeca Hackel. Da 
aber dieser letzteren von Hackel eine Anzahl Merkmale zugeschrieben werden, 
die bei meinen.Exemplaren fehlen, so zog ich es vor, sie nicht mit der var.
