a 98 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
long ; seeds and coma about as in the last.— Monogr. 279.— 
Grown at the Berlin Garden in 1883 from seed collected in 
Alaska by Krausse; Alaska, Fisher, 1880, in hb. Engelm., 
and probably Meehan, 1883, in hb. Canby. 
I am indebted to Dr. Urban for a specimen gathered in 
the Berlin Garden by himself in 1883, and for another 
gathered in 1884 by Mr. Hennings, from which the above 
description is drawn. Haussknecht’s original description 
would make the species more closely related to #. Bon- 
gardt than to Californicum or adenocaulon, —which I 
should place these specimens near. Except in pubescence 
they approach an Idaho specimen of what I take to be 
adenocaulon in the Hb. U.S. Dept. Agr. (Hayden’s Exp. 
1872), which, however, is densely short glandular through- 
out. I have not been able to consult a later note by Pro- 
fessor Haussknecht on this species, which was published in 
1886 (Mittheil. Geogr. Ges. f. Thiiringen, iv. — fide 
Just’s Jahresbericht, xiii. 2, p. 284. ) 
+*,7- Producing globose or ovoid sessile or subsessile subterranean 
winter bulblets (turions) with fleshy scales: seeds papillate and more or 
less beaked. — Mostly simple or subsimple plants with the leaves usually 
opposite and suberect, not revolute. (Exceptions as to innovations oc- 
cur in £. Drummondii and E. leptocarpum, var. Macounii, and the latter 
species is much branched and therefore with leaves chiefly alternate. 
The seeds of Z. Halleanum are often nearly or quite smooth.) 
++ Leaves mostly broad and ample or of medium size and with evident 
lateral veins (except in two varieties), sessile or subsessile except in 
forms of delicatum and saximontanum: stems with more or less prom- 
inent lines decurrent from some of the nodes exceptin some of the 
smaller forms. —Subsimple, with nearly erect leaves except in the first. 
== Larger plants, a foot or two high, except in a variety each of delica 
tum and ursinum and in some forms intermediate between Drummondii 
and saximonianum. 
23. E. DELICATUM, n. sp. — Slender stemmed, glabrous 
except for the crisp-hairy lines above and slightly crisp- 
hairy or glandular inflorescence; leaves as much as 75 mm. 
long, mostly very divergent, chiefly ovate-lanceolate and 
obtuse, undulately low-denticulate, rounded to the very 
short narrow base or cuneate and somewhat petioled, thin
