178 LEAFLETS. 
has a geographic form abundantin northern Colorado, many parts 
of Wyoming and Montana ; another in Idaho (whence came the 
original) and part of Montana, and throughout at least eastern 
Washington and Oregon ; perhaps several rather than one. These 
all have long calyx-segments and long narrow bractlets; but 
the foliage is different in different localities, though not very 
definitely so. 
Var. ORNATA is marked essentially by its calyx-bractlets, 
these being cleft into 2, 3, or 5 filiform segments. Specimens 
are before me from Idaho (Heller), Washington (E. P. Sheldon), 
and from the Yellowstone Park (Burglehaus). 
E. CAMPANULATA. Low, the stems 6 to 9 inches high, usually 
2-flowered: leaves short, the leaflets crowded, obovate-cuneiform 
3 to 5-cleft, the lobes oblong, obtuse, upper face appressed-pilose, 
margin not ciliate : flowers broad and short, quite campanulate, 
with short deltcid-ovate segments and still shorter small bract- 
lets hardly longer than the hemispherical tube, the whole greatly 
surpassed by the obovate very obtuse crimson-tinted petals : 
achenes not seen. 
Olympic Mountains, Washington, July, 1900, A. D. E. Elmer, 
n. 2529 as in U. S. Herb. 
E. CANESCENS. Stouter than the last, sometimes taller ; leaves 
as short, broader, canescently soft-villous and sparsely pilose ; 
leaflets obovate-cuneate, with 3 to 5 segments or teeth mostly 
broad, oval, obtuse but with small abrupt cusp-like termination : 
stems mostly 3-flowered : calyx-tube very short, bractlets small, 
commonly of but half the length of the ovate-lanceolate seg- 
ments; petals obovate-spatulate: plume hardly more than an 
inch long. 
Northern Sierra Nevada, Calif., Brewer, 1863, on a volcanic 
cone above Ebbett’s Pass, 8,500 feet; also from like elevation 
above Donner Lake, Heller, 1903. Perhaps Cronkhite’s n. 38 
from Klamath Valley, and also Leiberg’s n. 2555 from Steins’ 
Mountain, both these in Oregon, may be referred here. 
E. @RISEA. COaudex very large in proportion to the whole 
plant; stems at flowering only 5 to8 inches high: foliage small, 
firm, hoary with a quite uniform short villous-tomentose pubes-
