pubescent, with the same kind of hairs; the leaves are in pairs, 
with fascicles of smaller ones in the axils; upper part of stems, 
peduncles, leaves, and calyx very glandular as well as pubescent 
with coarse hairs; pedicels stout, 2 to 4 lines long; calyx 
narrow, 4 lines long, tube with teeth 214 lines long, the 
. former 5-nerved prominently and the nerves with narrow 
green margins; calyx lobes very narrowly subulate, acerose, 
1 to 1% lines long, not spreading much; corolla purple or 
lighter, purple spotted at the throat, tube % a line wide 
t base and a line wide at apex, 1 to 2 lines longer than 
oe ae and teeth, lobes oval, entire, 2 lines long; flower 
-5 lines wide; stamens very unequally inserted, small, oblong, 
yellow; capsule 114 lines long, exactly oval, obtuse, apiculate 
with the sharp vestige of the long (4 lines) style, the point 
of insertion of the capsule is very weak, and the capsule 
readily breaks away and falls off leaving an empty calyx; lobes 
-of the style about % a line long; placental axis is triquetrous, 
with one large oblong seed attached by its inner face in each cell 
above the middle of the concave placental wall. 
This unique Phlox in its foliage resembles Galium Mathewsit 
or s/ellatum. The glandular pubescence at once separates it 
from any other ofits class. Sometimes the stems are absent and the 
single flowers arise from a rosette of very short (1 to 114 a line) 
leaves, on pedicels 4 lines long and with a calyx only 2 to 3 
lines long; corolla not reduced. This form I call var. mznor.

ASTRAGALUS HayDENIANUS Gray. This rather pretty and 
very odoriferous plant is of late receiving fully as many synonyms 
as A. lentiginosus. In fact, every time it has been collected but 
twice it has received a new name. As I have shown in ‘‘ Zoe 
ii, 241, there is nothing to separate it from 4. disulcatus except its 
more slender habit and white flowers. For convenience I there 
separated two western forms of it as var. major (from Johnson, S. 
Utah) and var. Nevadensts (from Palisade, Nevada). ately Mr. 
Greene visits my type locality and probably the very field
