184 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
oblong, 6 to 10 mm. long; each carpel with 8 or 4 wings which are 
thin at the margin and also next to the body; oil tubes several in the 
intervals, 4 to 8 on the commissural side. 
Type locality, ‘* Gravelly hills, Santa Fe,” N. Mex.; collected by 
Fendler, no. 274; type specimen in U. S. Nat. Herb. 
Gravelly soil, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. 
Specimens examined: 
New Mexico: Hills near Santa Fe, Fender 274, in 1847; same station, A. A. & 
E. Gertrude [Heller 3539, May 15, 1897. 
CoLorapo: Westwater, Jones, May, 1890; Mancos, A/ice Mastiood, May and June, 
1890 and 1891; Grand Junction, Crandall, May 28, 1894; same station, Jones, 
May 22, 1895. 
Uran: Cisco, Jones, May 2, 1890, type of CL decipiens Jones (in Herb. Jones, 
duplicate in U. 8. Nat. Herb.); Green River, Jones, May 22, 1895. 
This species differs from the preceding species of Cymopterus in the presence of 
what may be regarded as a vestige of an involuecre, in the form of a distinct but 
short sheath, whose teeth are occasionally prolonged into small narrow bracts.

Often more robust than the other species (5 to 18 em. high), but 
with the same habit; leaves shorter than the peduncles, pinnately 3 to 
5-foliolate or simply lobed, lobes and leaflets broad; terminal leaflet 
3-lobed, the lower mostly 2-lobed, all the lobes sparingly incised; 
umbel unequally 4 to 18-rayed, with yellow flowers, and conspicuous 
involucels of more or less unequal oblong to ovate foliaceous bractlets; 
fruit sessile or nearly so, 6 to 8 mm. long, with very thick lateral 
wings and dorsal and intermediate ribs filiform or winged; oil tubes 
4 to 8 in the intervals, 8 to LO on the commissural side.

Since our description of Coloptera jonesit (Rev. N. Am. Umbell.) further material 
makes it evident that the appearance of wings on the dorsal and intermediate ribs is 
very inconstant. In fact, these ribs are sometimes either with or without wings on 
the same plant. In view of this fact the principal character for CL jonesii breaks 
down, and it is merged with Cyimopterus newberryi, as above.
