vein on both faces, also the margin uncinate-aculeolate: pedicels 
slender, short, rigid, glandular-hirtellous, as also the narrow 
calyx, this with deltoid hardly acute teeth: limb of petals only 
deeply obcordate, the lobes being short and rounded, the base of 
the limb marked by a pair of small scales representing the crown. 
Southern Colorado, Baker, Earle & Tracy, n. 37, Mancos, 1898. 
Also fine specimens from Middle Park, 1891, by Beardslee & 
Kofoid, in U. S. Herb., and again by Frank Tweedy, from 
Ridgway, 1895. 
13. A. DISCURRENS. Low, decumbent, forming colonies by 
an extensive system of rootstocks all connected, the very slender 
weak stems decumbent or more depressed, very leafy, with inter- 
nodes much shorter than the long narrow leaves, the lower villous 
with more or less definitely retrorse hairs, the upper with a 
firmer viscid spreading pubescence, but gland-tipped hairs 
wanting or obscure: leaves thin, oblanceolate, acute, 1 to 14 
inches long, sparsely roughish-pubescent or merely puncticulate, 
but midvein and margin uncinate-hispidulous: flowers very few 
among the upper leaves, on filiform pedicels not surpassing the 
foliage: calyx-teeth triangular-lanceolate, almost acuminate: 
petals bifid, their lobes round-obovate and with a tooth on the 
side. 
Gunnison, Colorado, 23 July, 1901, C. F. Baker, n. 559; also 
perhaps the same is the Los Pinos plant of Mr. Baker’s 1899 
collection sent out under n. 312. ` 
14. A. ELLIPTICA. Extensive underground growth as in the 
last, the rootstocks stouter, less prolific of aerial stems, these 
mostly simple, 2 to 5 inches high, retrorsely short-pubescent, 
the uppermost, as well as pedicels and calyx densely viscid-glan 
dular: leaves thin, elliptical, 4 to 1 inch long, acute, smooth 
and glabrouson both faces, only the margins and midvein beneath 
beset with very short uncinate hairs: calyx-teeth ovate, obtuse, 
ciliolate, the subcylindric tube hirtellous-glandular. 
Alpine in the mountains of southern Colorado, on Bob Creek, 
west of Mt. Hesperus, July, 1898, Baker, Earle & Tracy, n. 272 
as in my herbarium.
