380 | Notes from the Gray Herbarium. [ ZOE 
six inches long, 8-10 flowered: upper sepal ovate-orbicular, cucul- 
late, about three lines in length; the lateral ones ovate-elliptic, 
obtusish, four lines long: petals deeply two-parted, upper seg- 
ment linear, falcate, obtuse, dilated at the base, ascending, 
nearly equalling the sepals; lower segment filiform, about an 
inch in length; labellum three-parted to the base; the outer seg- 
ments about fifteen lines long; the middle one linear, obtuse, a 
third to a half as long; spur clavate, free, 14-17 lines in length: 
ovary angled and obsoletely winged, about equaling the bracts; 
the two appendages of the stigma deeply bifid; the iar 
linear, spreading laterally, and curved ascending, r 
- Collected on mountains of the Cape Region of Lower ee 
by T. S. Brandegee, September 16, 1893. 
A stout species resembling in habit 7. A/ichauxi Nutt., 
of the Southern States, but differing in its broader leaves, longer 
segments of petal and lip, and shorter more clavate spur. 
ALLIUM ACUMINATUM Hook. var. CUSPIDATUM n. var. Scape 
more slender than in the type: perianth segments odlong, abruptly 
cuspidate, about the length of the stamens: bulb-coats more finely 
and less distinctly reticulated. Collected at Wawawai, Wash- 
ington, June, 1892, by Mr. W. R. Hull (No. 619). 
Professor Porter’s No. 74, from Weber River Valley, Utah, 
seems to be a form near this, but with the perianth segments 
tapering more gradually to the point, and with the stamens 
mostly short as in the type. 
TRIFOLIUM GRACILENTUM Torr. & Gray, var. INCONSPIC- 
UUM, n. var. Much smaller than the type, slender, 2-6 inches 
high: leaflets 3-4 lines long, on petioles %4-1% inches long: 
heads 3 lines high; corolla shorter than or barely equaling the — 
calyx. , Roadside, San Bernardino, Cal., Parish No. 2647- 
Forms of the type approach this in habit, but the corolla is 
conspicuously longer than the calyx, as Orcutt’s No. roo4 from 
Tia Juana, Lower California, and Palmer’s No. 583 from Wick- 
enberg, Arizona.
