Columbia with thinner, nearly glabrous s leave es, thus approaching S. californica close ly, as 
well as the alpine plant with thick leaves red-tomentose beneath. 
The character relied upon to separate M. allenii and M. occidentalis does not seem 
valid. At least a duplicate type specimen in the National Herbarium has most of its 
petals entire at apex. It is very questionable, too, if the character upon which M. aequi- 
dentata is based will suffice to distinguish it from M. allenii. Differences in the compact- 
ness of the cyme are subject to the degree of maturity of the specimens and to the effects 
of altitude and exposure.
