Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 306419, collected by A. A. and 
E. Gertrude Heller in Santa Fe Canyon, 9 miles east of Santa Fe, July 2, 1897 
(no. 3793). Altitude about 2,400 meters; Transition Zone. 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: Gallinas Planting Station, 1908, Bartlett

Related to ZL. floribunda, but differing in its hirsute pubescence and larger 
flowers. Mr. C. V. Piper was the first to suggest’ that this might be a distinct 
species. Fendler’s specimens were referred by Doctor Gray’ to LZ. ursina, but 
this has nothing to do with that species. 
Mertensia amplifolia Wooton & Standley, sp. nov. 
Perennial from a thick rootstock; stems several, erect, stout, 25 to 35 em. 
high, retrorsely appressed-pubescent, simple, or branched above the base, with 
loosely ascending branches above; basal leaves lance-oblong, 11 em. long and 
5 cm. wide or smaller, acutish, unequal at the base and somewhat decurrent 
upon the slender petiole, 9 cm. long or less; cauline leaves very numerous, the 
upper ones little reduced, lanceolate, sessile, or the lowest petiolate, 5 to 9 cm. 
long, acute, rounded at the base, all the leaves finely appressed-pubescent on 
both surfaces; inflorescence ample, very leafy, the branches slender, few- 
flowered, strigose; pedicels slender, about 10 mm. long; calyx in anthesis 5 mm. 
high, in age about twice as long, cleft to about the middle, the lobes triangular- 
lanceolate, acute, strigose; corolla 10 mm. long, the limb about 4 mm. and the

Type in the U. S. National Herbarium, no. 45768, collected at Glorieta, June, 
1881, by G. R. Vasey. Additional material of the same collection is mounted on 
sheet 45769. 
Our plant is related to M. bakeri Greene, but is larger, has larger leaves of 
different shape, is less pubescent, and has much smaller flowers. 
Mertensia grandis Wooton & Standley, sp. nov.

the uppermost reduced, glabrous beneath and glaucescent, scaberulous on the 
upper surface; inflorescence rather ample, the slender branches white-strigose ; 
pedicels stout, 8 to 12 mm. long, strigose; calyx 4 to 5 mm. high, cleft to near 
the base, the lobes oblong, obtuse, glabrous or strigose, ciliate, the tube strongly 
strigose, the whole enlarging in age; corolla bright blue, 12 to 17 mm. long, 
the limb 5 to 9 mm. wide, much shorter than the tube, the latter 2.5 to 5 mm.
