REVISION OF EPILOBIUM. 111 
E. psrupo-scaposuM, Hausskn. — About a span high 
from a filiform rooting rhizome, slender, erect from an 
ascending base, pubescent along the prominent decurrent 
lines; leaves about 12 mm. long, crowded, round-ovate, 
obtuse, subentire to sparingly angular-toothed, subsessile 
or on sterile shoots abruptly narrowed to short petioles, 
firm; flowers one or two, when solitary apparently ter- 
minal; capsules erect, 40 mm. long, on peduncles of equal 
length; seeds obovoid-oblong, shortly beaked, .3 x 1 mm.—. 
Oesterr, Bot. Zeitschr. xxix. (1879), 89; Monogr. 278, 
pl. 13, f. 65.— Aleutian Islands (Mertens), fide Hauss- 
knecht, — hence likely to occur in Alaska, but unknown 
to me. 
++ ++ Seeds often coarsely papillate, nearly one-half larger than in the: 
preceding group. 
38. E. cLavaTum, n. sp. — A span high, mostly densely 
cespitose, the slender stems ascending, glabrate to sparingly 
glandular throughout; leaves 15 to 20 mm. long, divergent, 
broadly ovate, very obtuse, subentire to remotely serrulate, 
mostly rounded to evident petioles, firm, drying brownish ; 
flowers rather few, suberect, petals rose-colored, about 5 
mm. long; capsules 25 mm., subclavate, arcuately diver 
gent, the lowest often not reaching the apex of the stem, 
their slender peduncles equalling the subtending leaves; 
seeds fusiform, tapering into a pale beak, nearly smooth 
to coarsely papillate, .4 to .6x1.5to 2 mm.; coma barely 
dingy. — Washington and Oregon to Wyoming and Utah.— 
Specimens examined from Kicking Horse River, British 
America (Macoun, 1890), Mt. Adams, Washington (Suks- 
dorf, 1877 and 1886), Oregon (Cusick, 1879, and 1880 
no. 821; Howell, 1886, no. 595), the Cascade Mts. 
( Tweedy, 1882, no. 319), Wyoming (Parry, 1873, no. 
110), and perhaps Utah (Uintas, Watson, 1869, no. 394 
in part). — Plate 48. 
Suggestive of a hybrid between anagallidifolium and 
Hornemanni, but with very much larger, abundant, and 
apparently good seeds.
