76 LEAFLETS. 
basal ones similar to these, but the outer short, oblanceolate, 
acute; both stem and foliage retrosely puberulent: calyx cleft 
below the middle, and at least in anthesis expanding to open- 
campanulate, only the segments herbaceous and even these with 
scarious margin, the broad and nearly saucer-shaped tubular 
part scarious, but with several green nerves: corolla greenish, 
twice the length of the calyx and salverform, the petals as to 
their expanded portion cuneate-obcordate: fruit not known. 
Hackett’s Meadows, at 8,600 feet, 16 July, n. 4498 of Baker’s 
distribution. Species with calyx so deeply cleft and so remark- 
ably open as to render doubtful the propriety of its consignment 
to this genus. 
AQUILEGIA PAUCIFLORA. Scarlet-flowered and an ally of 
A. truncata, but subacaulescent, little exceeding a foot in 
height, only the subligneous and fibrous-coated caudex leafy, 
the nearly naked and very erect pedunculiform stem bearing 
from 1 to 5 flowers near the summit: leaves of half the height 
of the flower-stalk or less, pale and minutely hirtellous beneath, 
very dark-green and glabrous above, the pedicels and spurs 
glandular-pubescent: flower 1tinches long from tip to tip of 
spurs and anthers; sepals oval, obtuse, spreading or reflexed, 
not equalling the spurs; blade of petal distinct but short; 
filaments puberulent. 
Hackett’s Meadows, 16 July, in flower only; Baker’s n. 4460. 
The almost stemless habit and peculiar pubescence of the 
lower leaf face distinguish this subalpine plant well from its 
large widely branched and many-flowered kindred of the coast. 
DELPHINIUM LupoRUM. Root apparently woody-fibrous : 
solitary stem more than a foot high, slender, sparsely leafy 
except at base, very light-green, glabrous and shining; lowest 
leaves 5-parted, the segments round obovate and with 2 or 3 broad 
rounded and rather deep lobes, those of the stem with more cunei- 
form divisions and acute lobes, or the divisions simple and entire 
and of oblong-lanceolate cut in those next below therather naked 
peduncled raceme ; this very lax, made up of only 5 to 7 large 
flowers on long and slender ascending pedicels ; the pedicels and 
the long straight slender-conical spur loosely villous-pubescent:
