the tube glandular, this and the oblong obtuse green-tipped 
segments of about equal length: stamens and petals of about

Lone Pine, Inyo Co., California, 1897, at 7,000 feet; M. E. 
Jones. Type in U. S. Herb. 
H. VERSICOLOR. Rhizome short, stout, fleshy rather than lig- 
neous: leaves all nearly orbicular, slightly longer than broad, 
the basal sinus open but not rounded, 1} to 1Ẹł inches broad, 
thin, glabrous above, nearly so beneath, the margin sparsely and 
unequally setaceous-ciliate; petioles sparsely hirsute: scapes 
slender, naked, short, bearing the inflorescence only a little, or 
even not at all, above the foliage, the whole plant, though of 
large parts, only 6 or 8 inches high; thyrsoid and narrow 
inflorescence completely unilateral, 3 or 4 inches long, the small 
bracts simple or trifid, of linear-lanceolate cut, purplish: calyx 
turbinate, the segments longer than the tube, ovate-oblong, 
pinkish and green-tipped, after flowering changing to rose red: 
petals minute or wanting; several stamens apt to be infertile 
and the filament wide and petaloid. 
On damp shady bluffs in the Black Range, New Mexico, 
9500 feet, 3 Aug. 1904, O. B. Metcalfe, n 1203. Both these 
Hencheras are allies of DH rubescens. 
H. LEPTOMERIA. Rhizome stout, fleshy rather than ligneous, 
leaves subreniform-orbicular to orbicular or slightly elongated, 
14 to 1% inches broad, glabrous above, sparsely setulose along the 
veins beneath and around the margin; petioles loosely hirsutu- 
lous and minutely glandular: scapes slender, naked, a foot high, 
glabrous ; rachis of the narrow but open panicle and the pedi- 
cels sparingly minute-glandular: calyx acute at base and 
narrowly turbinate, the segments little more than half as long 
as the tube, ovate-oblong, obtuse: petals as long as the stamens, 
the blade linear on a long filiform exserted claw. 
Organ Mountains, New Mexico, 17 Sept., 1893, E. O. Wooton, 
as to the type specimens in U. S. Herb. Other specimens, but 
with stouter peduncles, and calyx a little less narrow, were 
obtained in the same range of mountains by Mr. Wooton,
