 Dodecatheon, sp. Leaves oblanceolate, 2 to 3 inches long : scape about a foot high, 

 4 to5-11owered: flowers 4-parted: "corolla light crimson with purple tinge, the 

 base of petals with white spot and a yellow ring beloiv all:" stamens, 3 lines 

 long, distinct, sessile : capsule obtusish, about the length of calyx. Grows in 

 swamps. Willow Springs. June 10 to 20. No. 342. 



According to Dr. Gray's Revision in Botanical Gazette this form would go into 

 his second section which contains only D. frigidum, as the stamens are distinct and 

 almost sessile, but it can hardly he his variety dentatum as the leaves are of a 

 difl'erent shape, entire, and flowers purple. It resembles inhabit the Rocky Moun- 

 tain variety alpitia which has been variously referred. But it is not the variety 

 alpina recently described by Mr. Greene, Pitt. ii. 12, as D. pauciflora as this has 

 a stamineal tube nearly as long as the anthers. In the recent arrangement of Mrs. 

 Brandegee, Zoe i. 20, this would answer best iu her variety Jcffreyi, but as it is 

 here defined, I do not think it includes all the forms placed under it by Dr. Gray. 

 It most resembles a specimen of Cusick's collected iu 1884 and distributed as Z>.
