Mountains of Nevada. 
Specimens examined: 
Nevaba: Type specimens as cited under type locality; Gleneoe, Jones, June 30,

3. Cynomarathrum parryi (Watson) C. & R. 
Peucedanumn parryt Watson, Proc. Am. Acad. 11: 148. 1876, 
Peucedanuin scopulorum Jones, Contr. to Western Botany no. 8: 31. 1898, 
Acaulescent, glabrous; stems tufted, their bases clothed with old 
leaf sheaths; leaves lanceolate in outline, twice pinnate, 1 to 3 dm. 
long, sometimes longer than the peduncles, pale; pinne distant; seg- 
ments linear and sharp-pointed; rays 5 to 10, nearly equal, 2.5 to 8 em. 
long; pedicels slender, 12 to 16 mm. long; involucels of several ereen 
rather conspicuous unilateral bractlets usually cleft at apex: fruit

body; calyx teeth evident; oil tubes obscure; flowers apparently yel- 
low. 
Type locality, ‘Ssouthern Utah,” in the Valley of the Virgin, in the 
vicinity of St. George, Washington County; collected by Parry, no. 
85, in L874; type in Herb. Gray. 
Specimens examined: 
Nevaba: Charleston Mountains, @. A. Purpits 6086, May-October, 1898. 
Uran: Type specimens as cited under type locality; Silver Reef, Jones 5449s, 
May 3, 184. 
CALIFORNIA: Pleasant Canyon, Panamint Mountains, Inyo County, Jones, May 
6, 1897 (type of Peucedanum scopuloriin Jones). 
Peucedanum parryi has long been made to include certain peculiar species of Peuce- 
danum with tufted stems, narrow leaves, prominent calyx teeth, ete. In fact, until 
recently rediscovered by Mr. Jones, the only specimen of true P. parryi was the type 
collection of which no material is to be found in the U.S. National Herbarium. A 
recent comparison of the type sheet with a duplicate type of Mr. Jones’s P. scopulorum 
convinces us that the two are identical. We have also taken out several forms which 
have heretofore passed as P. parryi. Several flowering specimens are left doubtful, 
as their generic position can not be decided definitely without fruit.
