83a. Quamoclidion multiflorum glandulosum Standley, subsp. nov. 
Stems stout, rather abundantly glandular-puberulent throughout; leaf blades 
ovate, thick, acutish, rounded or subcordate at the base; petioles about one- 
third as long as the blades, glandular-puberulent; peduncles stout, densely 
glandular-puberulent, 2 cm. long or less: bracts about 2 cm, long, the free 
portion a little longer than the tube, obtuse or acutish, densely glandular- 
puberulent; flowers 4 em. long or less; leaves a-rather light yellowish-green, 
This subspecies is distinguished by its yellowish-green, puberulent leaves, ¢glan- 
dular stem, and puberulent, obtuse bracts. Type in the National Herbarium, 
cotype in the Missouri Botanical Garden, collected in Colorado on a dry mesa 
at Grand Junction, May 28, 1894, Crandall 423, altitude 1575 meters. There 
is no mature fruit on either of these specimens, but a plant in the Rocky 
Mountain Herbarium that seems to be the same, collected at Deer Run, Colo- 
‘ado, 1901, C. F. Baker S81, has fruit elliptical or oblong-elliptical in outline, 
about 9 mm, long, dark reddish brown in color, obscurely 10-nerved, glabrous, 
This last plant has rather thin and almost scarious reddish bracts, 
Other specimens examined: 
CoLoraAbo: Mancos, 1890, Kastiwood; Grand Junction, 1894, Jones 5476, 
Baker's 304 from Rosa, New Mexico, is probably the same, although it does 
not match the type in all particulars. 
2b. Quamoclidion multiflorum obtusum Standley, subsp. nov. 
Stems rather slender, with short, rather viscid pubescence throughout which 
consists of flattened, white hairs: leaf blades very broadly ovate or almost 
reniform, thin, bright green, almost glabrous, broadly obtuse and apiculate at 
the apex, semicordate to rounded at the base, the blades somewhat decurrent 
upon the petiole which is half as long as the blade or shorter; bracts broadly 
ovate, acutish, apiculate, about 3 em. long and 15 mm. wide, the free portion 
one-half as long as the tube or longer. bright green; flowers like those of the 
species. 
Distinguished by the large and broad bracts and especially by the shape 
of the leaves. Type in the herbarium of the University of Wyoming, col. - 
lected on rocky ledges at Kernan, Nevada, 1902, Goodding 658, The plant is 
covered with what appears to be the web of some insect, giving it a peculiar 
woolly appearance, 
The following plants should probably be placed here, although they have 
thicker leaves and the leaves are not acuminate. They have dark-colored 
fruits, showing that they are more closely related to Q. multiflorian than to 
Q. froebelii, They with the subspecies glabratum of the latter species form a 
close transition between the two species.
