176 LEAFLETS. 
save as to the notably pilose-ciliate margin, of the same deep 
green as both the foregoing: calyx of the largest, deep red and 
only moderately pubescent, the lance-linear bractlets large, 
surpassing the erect petals: plume of achenes 17 inches long. 
In meadows near Banff, Alberta, Canada, June and July, 1899, 
W. C. McCalla, n. 2,073, as in U. S. Herb. 
E. AUSTRALIS. Large, 14 feet high when mature; leaves not 
large in proportion, deep green as in the foregoing, foliage more 
dissected, far less pubescent, minutely and viscidly so under- 
neath a very sparse clothing of long pilose hairs; segments 
usually cleft to the middle, with one lobe entire and small, the 
other longer and 2 or 3-toothed, all teeth and lobes obtuse, cal- 
lous-tipped: flowers mostly 3 only, long-peduncled : bractlets 
lance-linear, exceeding the calyx-segments, not rarely bifid at 
summit: plume 23 inches long 
At 8,500 feet in the mountains of southern Colorado above 
Cimarron, C. F. Baker, n. 214 as in my herbarium. 
E. BREVIFOLIA. Seldom a foot high, the two interdodes of 
the short stems each bounded by a whorl of unusually large 
pinnatisect leaves: proper foliage short and compact, the leaflets 
crowned, nearly divaricate, very broadly cuneate or cuneate- 
obovate, much dissected, the ultimate lobes acutish or obtuse, 
both faces of mature foliage almost glabrous under the sparse 
clothing of slender and not long pilose hairs, these not notably 
appearing as a marginal ciliation: segments of calyx oblong- 
lanceolate, bractlets uncommonly small and not exceeding them, 
the whole calyx fully equalled by the quite broad obtuse petals: 
plume fine and short, 14 inches long. 
Subalpine in the mountains of middle Utah; collected by . 
M. E. Jones (3 sheets in U. S. Herb.), and Lester F. Ward ; 
S. Watsons’ n. 318 probably the same, but taller and with less 
abbreviate foliage.
