Most, if not all of the material placed by Doctor Rydberg under Gaura 
glabra in the Flora of Colorado belongs here. That species was described 
as being glabrous, and such a plant is well represented in the National Herba- 
rium by specimens from Montana and adjoining States. Our plant has a.wide 
range outside of New Mexico, extending from Arizona and Utah to Wyoming 
and South Dakota. It occurs chiefly in the low foothills and on the dry plains 
of the Upper Sonoran Zone. 
Gaura glandulosa Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Stems usually numerous, slender, much branched, erect, 90 cm. high or less, 
copiously hirsute; basal leaves oblanceolate, somewhat sinuate-dentate, 7 to 10 
cm. long, slender-petioled; cauline leaves linear or linear-oblong, entire or re- 
motely repand-toothed, pubescent especially on the margins and veins, acute 
to obtuse, bright green, sessile; racemes slender, the branches glabrous except 
among the flowers and buds, there glandular; bracts ovate, acute, ciliolate, 
glandular; calyx tube 5 mm, long, glandular; petals oblanceolate, obtuse, 6 mm. 
long; fruit sessile, broadly ovoid, sharply angled, glabrous, not stipitate.

1900, Wooton; N Bar Ranch, August 2, 1900, Wooton. 
his has always passed as Gaura nealleyi Coulter, but that is a nearly 
glabrous plant with short-stipitate fruit. 
Gaura gracilis Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Stems very slender, with numerous corymbose, ascending branches, 50 to 80 
em. high, villous; cauline leaves linear, 25 to 35 mm. long, entire, bright green, 
glabrous or sparingly puberulent, acute, short-petiolate; branches of the inflo- 
rescence glabrous; bracts ovate, acuminate, ciliolafe, strigillose; calyx tube 4 
mm. long, strigillose; petals 5 mm. long; fruit sessile, elliptic-ovoid, sharply 
angled, glabrous, 7 or 8 mm. long. not stipitate.
