reflexed, two lines long; stigmas enlarged and club shaped. 
This seems to be a good species but in view of the great vari- 
ability in this genus I refer it here. It is about the height of the 
type, but the leaves are half as large and the flowers twice to 
three times as large. Collected at Pine on the edge of the Mogollon 
Mesa northern Arizona, June 2, 1890. Characters common to the 
type species and this are the long pedicels, narrow and very acute 
calyx lobes, equaling the corolla; greenish-speckled petals, glands 
and scales; verticillate leaves; stamens nearly as long as the petals; 
- glands attached below the middle. Gray says in the Synoptical 
Flora that the glands are attached above the middle, but it is 
not true. 
Notes taken by me this year at Alta, Utah, August 17, 1893, 
on the type species are as follows: Petals oval, five lines long, 
three and one-half wide, a little cucullate by the folding of the 
tip of the petals which are very acute, petals concave; two 
glands on each petal three lines long and one-half a line wide, they 
tun within two and one-half lines of the tip of the petal and one- 
half a line of the base, rounded at each end. and protected by 
lacerate hair-like scales a line long; base of petals with stiff 
scales two lines long; anthers inverted, extrorse, sagittate; stigma 
spoon shaped, bent, single; stamens just surpassing the stigma, 
spreading after anthesis.

with the same habit, frequenting alkaline soil. Deep Creek, 
Utah, June 6, 18gr, altitude 5000 feet. Minutely and rather 
_ densely pubescent and somewhat glandular; blade of leaves one- 
half inch long and one-third the slender petioles, irregularly 
laciniate dentate, lanceolate to oblong, obtuse apex rounded; 
_ leaves not fleshy, rosulate mostly; annual, much branched from 
the base, one to three inches high; flowers single in the forks 
and in loose racemes which equal the leaves and are floriferous 
from base of peduncle, three to five flowered; pedicels not longer 
than the calyx, slender; calyx a line long in flower and two 
lines in fruit, lobes linear and very little enlarged at apex; 
corolla barely lobed, yellow and almost equaling the calyx, and 
overtopping the oval or oval-oblong, rounded and obtuse capsule 
which has a very short style and is eight-seeded; seeds large,
