(Pinus ponderosa) were once abundant, but now oe the most part 
only young trees survive, the larger wood of all the accessible country 
having been cut off during the mining period. At present the bull 
pine or nut pine (P. Sadiniana) has largely taken the place of the 
yellow pines and of the oaks cut down by the miners, and is in 
many localities the prevailing tree. : 
Occasionally, in sheltered spots (in this country sheltered means ~ 
sheltered from the sun), the golden cup or mountain live oak (Q. 
chrysophylla) attains considerable size, but is always inferior to its 
splendid growth in the next zone above. Beside the streams, great 
alders (Alnus rhombifolia), often 60 feet high and a foot in di- 
ameter, surprise the Eastern men, who have been accustomed to 
think of alders as only large enough for bean poles. With them 
grow the tree willows (Sa/ix /evigata) and occasionally (.S. nigra). 
The varied and often interesting herbaceous vegetation of this 
zone I must reserve for another occasion. 
NEW SPECIES AND NOTES OF UTAH PLANTS. 
BY MARCUS E. JONES. 
STANLEYA ELATA Jones, has been reported by F. V. Coville as 
far west as the Inyo Mountains in California. 
LEPIDIUM ALYSSOIDES differs from Z. monfanum only in being 
perennial, and as the southern forms are perennial and the northern 
ones are not, I see no reason to keep up the species. oe 
CLEOME LUTEA Hooker. In my specimens from the Moencop- 
pa, Northern Arizona, the stipe is 3-16 inch long and the pedicel 
7-16 inch long; the stipe is glutinous-hairy, seeds very baled on 
the back, and pod an inch long. ; 
CLEOMELLA PALMERANA. Annual, erect and widely branching 
from the base, 2 to 10 inches high, glabrous throughout; leaflets 3, 
oblong-elliptical, obtuse, mucronate, petiole one inch or less long; 
bracts of earlier spikes often leaflike, simple, as large as the leaves 
and like them, and as long petioled. Flowers axillary and single, as 
well as spicate ; pedicels 3 to 4 lines long, reflexed in fruit; spicate 
flowers subtended by minute subulate bracts, which are attenuated 
into hairs, these bracts are also surrounded at base by 2 to 4 hair-
