Kuhnistera candida var. occidentalis Rydberg, Cont. U. S. Nat. 
Herb. 3: 154. S. 1895. 
The Mexican Boundary Survey of Emory having been con- 
fused with the work cited above, the identity of this species was 
only recently established. The type, but unnamed, is in the her- 
barium of Columbia University. Ona small slip of paper pasted 
upon the sheet is recorded in Torrey’s hand “ Emory, Sept. 28th, 
1846. Valley of Del Norte.” By referring to the journal, we find 
that on September 28, 1846, the expedition was near Albuquerque, 
New Mexico. Specimens from Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, 
Indian Territory and South Dakota are typical, and readily distin- 
guished from K. candida by the lax inflorescence, blunt spikes, 
and smaller, thicker and more obtuse leaflets, but in Nebraska 
there are some forms which approach candida. It has a more 
western and southwestern range than any other of the white- 
flowered species. In the lower part of its range, candida is not 
found far from the Mississippi river, and the typical plant is found 
only from the original region, Tennessee, Illinois and northward.

A comparison of the type of phlecides and a duplicate type of 
glandulosus, both of which are in the Columbia University 
herbarium, clearly shows theth to be identical. The oblique calyx is 
a marked character in this ——
