Eastwoop: New SPECIES OF OREOCARYA 239 
the throat half as long as the anthers, those at base forming a 
moniliform ring that closes around the style above the ovary : 
stamens inserted in the throat, the upper part of the anthers alter- 
nating with the crests: fruit with but one nutlet maturing, this 
sharply keeled on the ventral side, rounded and arched on the 
dorsal, acutely margined, depressed, mottled dark and light brown, 
glossy, slightly roughened with a few scattered papillae. 
This is to be included in the group formerly under Avrynitzkia 
Jamesii Gray. It was reported with that name (no. go) in my Report 
on a Collection of Plants from San Juan County, Southeastern 
Utah, Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci., II. 6: 311. It was collected by the 
writer on the mesa above the San Juan River, Utah, on what was 
known as Barton’s Range, July 13, 1895. It differs from O. 
suffruticosa (Torr.) Greene, in habit, pubescence, flowers and seeds, 
In habit of growth it more closely resembles O. mu/ticaulis (Torr.) 
Greene, but differs in the size of the flowers, the number and 
appearance of the nutlets. 
Oreocarya Lemmoni 
Stems several from a branched caudex, about 10-15 cm. high, 
rather stout and leafy, floriferous throughout, densely yellowish or 
white tomentose and hairy with long fine white soft hairs, neither 
striate nor ribbed: leaves linear-oblanceolate, obtuse, with no dis- 
tinction of petiole and blade; the lowest 9 cm. long, diminishing 
to the bracts, 1 cm. long, 2-5 mm. wide, tomentose and but 
slightly hairy: inflorescence with axillary clusters capitate on 
peduncles 5-10 mm. long ; bractlets long, surpassing the sessile or 
short-pedicelled flowers; terminal spikelets aggregated into capi- 
tate clusters (in flower): divisions of calyx ovate-acuminate, 
almost as long as the corolla, 4 mm., densely tomentose and spar- 
ingly hairy: corolla white ; tube campanulate, broadening from 
a base I mm. in diameter to the throat more than 2 mm. across, 
2.5 mm. long; lobes orbicular, extending almost to the throat, 
2 mm. wide; crests in throat conspicuous, I mm. wide at base, bi- 
lobed at apex, fleshy ; crests at base small, forming a moniliform 
ring less than 1 mm. from the base: stamens with oblong anthers, 
attached below the middle of the tube by very short broad fila- 
ments, the apex reaching the base of the crests in the throat: 
nutlets immature but apparently smooth and depressed like O. 
suffruticosa Greene. 
This is well distinguished from all other members of the group 
and from all other species of the genus by the peculiar shape of
