serratures now and then so deep and large as to amount to lobes rather 
than serratures; only a staminate panicle seen, this narrowiy pyramidal, 
5 cm long. 
Type from Wolf Creek, Wyoming, July 12, 1896, A. Nelson. 
no. 2303. Manifestly intermediate between the Nebraskan R. cismontana 
and the characteristic species of Arizona; the foliage peculiar.

Scape, a foot high, felxuose, very hard, much branched, bearing 
thirty to forty scentless flowers, of a tawny-red colour, opening, singly 
or in pairs, and fading before others expand. Bracts very large and 
foliose, the lower ones 4 inches long. Flowers irregular, 1 inch span, 
the three inner segments narrower (over !/; inch wide) and recurved, the 
three outer wider (!/, inch) and not recurved. The upper segment is 
slightly wider still, and is incurved to form a hood protecting the stigma 
and anthers. The three lower segments marked with a yellow basal mark. 
Filaments, all erect and contiguous. Style shorter than stamens. 
The inflorescence is irregular (all the flowers facing in the one direction) 
and appears in autumn on the new autumnal growth (in England, but 
probably spring-flowering in South Africa); this leaf-growth consists, at 
first, of three leaves of irregular shape each under 1 foot in length, by 
!/, inch in maximum width. The narrower leaf-growths, appearing with 
the flowering stem, are mostly, if not entirely, bracts. 
Several of the Maricas are noticeable for similar foliose bracts, 
T. bracteata was sent to me two years ago by Mr. Layton, from the 
mountains above Greytown, S. Africa, and flowered for the first time 
in my bulb-flue this September. It is an inconspicuous little plant, with 
spathes almost as large as its leaves. It is near T. securigera (Redoute, 
53, Bot. Mag., 383) in the colour of the flowers, but differs therefrom in 
the flowers being only half the size, whereas the leaves are twice as 
large. The spathe-valves are also longer and acuminate, the scape is 
more flexuose, branching and floriferous, and the horny processes more 
developed. The hooded upper segment connects with T. Nelsoni; which 
latter sp. has narrow, linear leaves.
