Lappula deflexa americana ((ray) Greene, Pittonia, ii, 183 (1891); Hehinosper- 
mum deflecum americanum Gray, Proc. Amer, Acad. xvii, 224 (1882). 
My specimens belong to a form with short, broad leaves and small flowers. Rare: 
Lead City, altitude 1,600 m., July 6 (No. 889). 
Lappula floribunda (Lehm.) Greene, Pittonia, ii, 182 (1891); Hehinospermum flori- 
bundum Lehm. Pug. ii, 24 (1880). 
The common form has distinetly pinnately nerved leaves. Hot Springs, altitude 
1,100 m., June 13; Elk Canyon, altitude 1,200 m., June 29; Custer, altitude 1,700 m., 
July 16 (No. 890). 
At Oreville, altitude 1,650 m., July 16,a form was collected which differs, in hay- 
ing much thicker, narrowly lanceolate leaves, with a prominent midrib but obsolete 
lateral veins (No. 891). 
At Rochford, altitude 1,650 m., July 11, a plant was collected, which I also refer 
here, although it differs considerably from the common form. It was collected in 
flower only, and as the fruit is necessary for full identification, I leave it with this 
species. The plant is tall, 1 to 2m. high, branched from an apparently perennial 
root, making big, bushy clumps of a dozen stems or more, The upper parts of the 
plant are yellowish silky, the lower somewhat strigose; the lower leaves spatulate, 
the upper lanceolate, thickish, with a prominent midrib, the lateral veins obsolete 
(No, 892). 
Lappula redowskii occidentalis (Wats.) Rydberg, Contr. Nat. Herb. iii, 170 
(1895); Echinospermum redowskii occidentale (Wats.) Bot. King Sury, 246 (1871). 
Some of the specimens resemble L. lappula in having a larger, more campanulate 
corolla and being more branched from the base and more leafy. The immature fruit 
shows characters which place it with DL. redowshkii. Kdgemont, altitude 1,050 m., 
May 27; Hot Springs, altitude 1,100 m., June 15 (No. 576). 
The common form was collected at Hot Springs, altitude 1,100 m., June 13; Her- 
mosa, altitude 1,050 m., June 23; Custer, altitude 1,700 m., July 16 (No. 577). 
Oreocarya glomerata (Pursh) Greene, Pittonia, i, 58 (1887); Cynoglossum glomera- 
tum Pursh, FL. ii, 729 (1814). 
High table-lands and hills: Hot Springs, altitude 1,100 m., June 13; Whitewood, 
altitude 1,100 m., July 7 (No. 893). 
Cryptanthe pattersoni (Gray) Greene, Pittonia, i, 120 (1887); Arynitzkia pattersoni 
Gray, Proc. Amer, Acad. xx, 268 (1885). 
The seeds are brown-spotted and less attenuate than in ©, fendleri, but otherwise 
as in that species. ‘The leaves are also broader. Lead City, altitude 1,600 1n., July 6; 
Rochford, altitude 1,700 m., July 12 (No. 894), 
No. 895 is a small Cryptanthe, perhaps nearly related, but there are no fruits in 
the collection, hence it can not be determined, It looks very like some specimens in 
the National Herbarium labeled Arynitzkia afinis, but it may be an undeveloped 
form of nearly any of the related species. Buckhorn Mountain, near Custer, altitude 
1,800 m., July 16. 
Myosotis verna macrosperma (Engelm.); Myosotis macrosperma Engelm. Amer. 
Journ. Sei. xlvi, 98 (1844). 
Rare: Hot Springs, altitude 1,100 m., June 13 (No. 575). 
Myosotis sylvatica Hoffmann, Deutsch. FI. i, 85 (1791). 
Slender, 1.5 to 3 dm. high, raceme loose, the pedicels longer than the fruiting 
calyx. It does not belong to the variety alpestris, which has been regarded as the 
only American form, but rather to the species. High altitudes in damp places among 
rocks: Sylvan Lake, altitude 2,000 m., July 19 (No. 896). 
Mertensia sibirica (L.) Don, Hist. Dich]. Pl. iv, 319 (1888) ; Pulmonaria sibirica 
L. Sp. Pl. i, 185 (1753). ; 
A single fruiting specimen, which seems to belong to this species, was collected at 
Rochford, altitude 1,700 m., July 12 (No. 897).
