WOOTON AND STANDLEY—NEW PLANTS FROM NEW MEXICO. 127 
Type in the U. 8S. National Herbarium, no. 4869, collected in New Mexico in 
1853 by J. M. Bigelow. 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Gallinas Mountains, August 27, 1904, 
Wooton; Cabra Springs, 1878, W. B. Pease. 
From L. fendleri, its nearest relative, this plant is at once distinguished by 
its lower, densely cespitose habit and its few pedicels which are surpassed by 
the leaves. The general appearance of the two is very different. 
Lesquerella rectipes Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial or biennial from a rather slender, woody root; stems slender, 
clustered, ascending or spreading, 12 to 18 cm. long, sparsely leafy, lepidote- 
stellate but not densely so; basal leaves narrowly oblanceolate or spatulate, 
obtuse; cauline leaves linear-oblanceolate, obtuse, 18 to 25 mm, long, lepidote- 
stellate on both surfaces; racemes loosely few-flowered, 4 cm. long or less; 
pedicels ascending, stout, 6 or 7 mm. long; sepals 4.5 mm. long, oblong-lanceolate, 
only sparingly lepidote; petals pale yellow, 7 mm. long, oblanceolate, obtuse; 
capsules broadly oblong to almost spherical, not compressed, 4.5 mm. long, not 
stipitate, very lightly lepidote-stellate; styles much longer than the capsules. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 4799, collected in New Mexico 
June 6, 1883, by C. C. Marsh (no. 81). The exact locality is not given on the 
label, but it was somewhere in the northwestern part of the State. 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Thirteen miles south of Atarque de Garcia, 
July 19, 1906, Wooton; along the banks of the Rio Grande 19 miles west of 
Santa Fe, alt. 1630 meters, May 31, 1897, Heller 3634. 
Our plant has been confused with Z. argentea, but that species has smaller, 
very densely pubescent capsules on strongly recurved pedicels. 
Sophia adenophora Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
A coarse, canescent annual, generally with a single erect stem 80 to 120 cm. 
high, branching rather freely above but not at the base; leaves pinnately or 
bipinnately divided into rather coarse, obtuse or acute, oblong-lanceolate seg- 
ments, the upper cauline leaves once pinnate with oblong, abruptly acute seg- 
ments, the lower leaves once or twice pinnate, at least some of the segments 
broader; inflorescence an elongated, terminal raceme, 20 cm. long or more in 
fruit, glandular-pubescent throughout; flowers rather pale yellow; sepals 2 
to 3 mm. long, oblong, obtuse, yellow, glandular; petals oblanceolate, spatulate, 
yellow, slightly longer than the sepals; siliques linear, 12 to 20 mm. long, acute, 
spreading or ascending; seeds crowded as if in one row; pedicels as long as 
the pods or longer, slightly ascending or divergent. 
Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 562504, collected by E. O. Wooton 
July 13, 1900, at the Head and Wilson Ranch south of Mule Creek, in north- 
western Grant County. 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Rio Frisco, July 25, 1900, Wooton; Tula- 
rosa Creek, Socorro County, July 14, 1906, Wooton; Reserve, July 9, 1906, 
Wooton. 
This species is most closely related to S. obtusa Greene, from which it differs 
in having longer, more divergent pedicels, larger petals, and strongly glandular 
inflorescence. It is fourd in the Upper Sonoran Zone. 
Sophia glabra Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
A slender, erect, sparingly branched, canescent annual, 30 to 60 cm. high; 
stems more or less purplish throughout; leaves and stems covered with a thick 
coat of short, branched hairs, not at all glandular; leaves all bipinnately 
divided into small, oblong, obtuse or acute segments 1 to 3 mm. long, some of 
these again lobed; racemes elongated in fruit; flowers small, 1 to 2 mm. long;
