REVISION OF EPILOBIUM. 103 
or suberect, oblong to elliptical, the upper rather acute, 
very minutely denticulate or subentire, cuneately narrowed 
to the sessile base, —or the lowest 30 mm. long, more 
lanceolate, and with somewhat elongated winged base; 
flowers few, pale to deep violet; capsules short stalked ; 
seeds slightly larger and often less papillate: otherwise 
like the preceding, except for the sessile turions. — Oesterr. 
Bot. Zeitschr. xxix. (1879), 119; Monogr. 270. — Mount- 
ains, Colorado to Nevada. — Plate 35. 
The broader-leaved form figured (Arizona, Anowlton, 
1889, no. 151, etc.) is barely distinguishable from broader- 
leaved forms referred to the preceding species; but the 
specimens are commonly without innovations, and hence may 
belong elsewhere, though at present I am unable to place 
them otherwise. 
++ ++ Leaves rather small, with less conspicuous lateral veins, evidently 
petioled: stems terete but sometimes pubescent in lines. — Much- 
branched small plants, with the rather spreading leaves therefore mainly 
alternate. 
30. E. LEprocarpuM, Hausskn. —A span or less high, 
glabrous except for some incurved pubescence on the stem ; 
leaves less than 20 mm. long, broadly lanceolate, sparingly 
low-toothed, tapering from near the middle to the obtuse 
or subacute apex and winged petiole; flowers abundant for 
the size of the plant; calyx-tube narrow; petals about 3 
mm. long, rosy; capsules 20mm.,on very slender peduncles 
of nearly equal length; seeds nearly ellipsoidal, shortly 
hyaline-beaked, .25x .75 mm.; coma at length cinnamon- 
colored. — Monogr. 258, pl. 14, f. 67. — Oregon ( Hail, no. 
188). — Suggestive of some small rosuliferous species of 
the coloratum group, and so placed by Haussknecht, in the 
absence of innovations on the only specimens known. — 
Plate 36. 
Var.? Macountr.— Less branched, crisp-pubescent in 
lines, the same pubescence more or less abundant also on 
the flowers and capsules; leaves more ovate; seeds 1 mm.
