the acute ends: bracts paired, linear, shorter than the pedicel, the lower 
sometimes accompanied by a long, narrowly linear leaf: raceme simple, 
slender, at last quite open: calyx-lobes triangular-lanceolate, fully as 
long as the campanulate tube: petals spatulate-oblong, 15—18 mm long, 
twice as long as the calyx, of a delicate pale lavender color: mature 
fruits not at hand. 
Allied in some ways to both S. campestris and S. Oregana Greene. 
The collector, Dr. J. Lunell, surmised that it might be a hybrid, but it 
does not seem to the writer to have enough of the characters of either 
to warrant that conclusion, It is a woodland species secured near 
Wheatland, in Yamhill Co., Oregon. 
4. Zaushneria garrettii A. Nelson, l. c., p. 36. 
Caudex with slender woody branches: stems several, simple, slender, 
erect from somewhat decumbent bases, 1,5—3 dm high, with pale 
glabrous shreddy bark below, upward greener and softly hirsute, the 
hairs long and widely spreading: leaves sessile, crowded, elliptical, oval 
or ovate, 2—3 cm long, the margin with small rather remote and irre- 
gular teeth, green but sparsely.soft-hirsute, venation pinnate, the primary 
veins few the secondary veins obscure or indiscernible: flowers few, in 
a terminal crowded cluster: calyx puberulent, its tube deep-red, 12--16 mm 
long, cylindrie, with slightly dilated base and throat, lobes half as long, 
greenish, triangular-lanceolate, callous tipped: petals thick, deep-red, 
obovate-cordate, slightly exceeding the calyx-lobes: stamens barely 
exserted; pollen grains unusually large: stigma tardily well exserted: 
ovary and capsule minutely glandular-pubescent on the angles. 
This species belongs in the Z. latifolia group but can scarcely be 
confused with the typical Californian form of that species. 
Seeured by À. O. Garrett, August 28, 1906, in Big Cottonwood 
Canon, Salt Lake County, Utah. 
5. Mertensia micrantha A. Nelson, l. c., p. 31. 
Stems clustered, spreading, 2—3 dm long, rather slender, glabrous ` 
or nearly so: leaves dark green and seemingly glabrous but under a 
lens minutely appressed-hispid on both sides, not pustulate, 3-7 cm 
long; the uppermost lanceolate, more narrowly so downward where they 
become smaller and linear: panicle leafy, many-flowered; flowers small; 
calyx about 3 mm long, its lobes linear-lanceolate, ciliate-margined, longer 
than the campanulate tube; corolla about 10 mm long, its limb as long 
as the tube, narrowly campanulate, with short suborbicular lobes: the 
stamens inserted in the throat and reaching to the lobes; the filaments 
as broad or broader than the anthers and nearly as long: style equalling 
the stamens. 
This seems to be a good species in the Lanceolatae and not very 
nearly allied to any of the described species. 
It was secured by Dr. Francis Ramaley and Mr. W. W. Robbins, 
on Sugar-loaf Mountain, July 14, 1906.
