Green River, Utah, May 9, 1890. Dedicated to General Wm. 
J. Palmer, than whom there is no one more interested in the scien- 
tific researches in Utah, or who has shown his interest in a more 
substantial way. 
CERASTIUM ALPINUM, L., var. BEHRINGIANUM, Regel. My speci- 
mens of this plant from the Uinta Mountains, in Utah, are glandular 
and not ‘‘silky hirsute.” These specimens were collected on La 
Motte Peak, August 11, 1888. 
PETALOSTEMON SEARLSI& Gray. I suppose this is the name of 
the plant which I collected in Southern Utah and Arizona in 1890. 
It is perennial with shrubby lower stems, obovate to oblong- 
lanceolate leaflets, branched like Hosackia Wrightit, petals oblance- 
. Olate. 
I have seen what seems to be ADOLPHIA INFESTA Meisner, from 
Northern Arizona, at Lee’s Ferry. It has leaves 4 to 8 lines long, 
linear-oblanceolate, not at all mucronate, proper petiole absent 
or not over % a line long, stems densely pubescent with hairs 
which stand straight out from the stems, leaves with some pubes- 
cence though less dense, branches opposite only by accident. 
AsSTRAGALUS CoLToNI. This belongs to the section Homolobi 
Watson, and is allied to fAlipes and /ancearius. 1 to 2 feet high, 
many-stemmed from a thick woody root, branching at the base, erect 
or ascending; lower stipules scarious and connate, upper ones tri- 
angular, small and green, more or less united; leaves 2 to 4 inches 
long, petiole an inch long; leaflets about 3 pairs, distant, broadly 
linear, sometimes linear-oblanceolate, obtuse, uppermost leaves often 
. reduced to the long, almost filiform rachis, which is generally broad- 
_ ened at the tip into the lanceolate terminal leaflet, and is therefore 
- not articulated with the rachis; stems, and particularly the very long 
- (6 to 12 inches) peduncle sulcate ; young leaves ashy, otherwise the
