Eastwoop: New Species OF OREOCARYA 243 
ing I cm. long: corolla white with orbicular lobes not extending 
to the throat, nor so long as the tube, together equalling 6 mm.; 
the tube surpassing the calyx in flower; crests hispid, rounded , 
base of tube without scales or crests: anthers linear-oblong, 
inserted below the crests on short subulate filaments which are 
concealed by the anthers: nutlets erect, ovate-oblong, 2 mm. 
broad, 3-5 mm. long, obtuse, acutely margined on the lateral 
angles, inserted almost the entire length, rarely all maturing; 
scar scarcely forked at base, when ripe the surface brown, covered 
with glossy white, irregular, minute, often confluent tubercles : 
gynobase elongated-subulate. 
This showy species is related to O. thyrsiflora Greene but dif- 
fers in the naked base of the corolla-tube, the hispid crests in the 
throat, and in the longer tube of the corolla. It was collected by 
the author in flower and fruit, May 25, 1892, in Court House 
Wash, near Moab, southeastern Utah. It is named in honor of 
Mr. Alfred Wetherill who was my guide and companion on the 
trip when it was discovered. 
Oreocarya nana 
Stems low, caespitose, 5-10 cm. high, 3-several froma slender 
tap-root, the simple or branched caudex densely covered with the 
petioles of former leaves, hispid throughout with spreading white 
or yellowish bristles which are frequently pustulate at base, striate, 
floriferous almost from the base: radical leaves crowded on the 
caudex, white with closely appressed hairs mixed with coarser 
bristles, oblanceolate, petiolate, acute, I-2 cm. long, 2-5 mm. 
wide; cauline leaves few, similar to the radical but shorter, the 
appressed hairs tawny, the bristles white and more spreading : 
inflorescence spicate-glomerate, 4 cm. long, I~2 cm. wide: flowers 
I—-3 in the axils of the linear bracts, with pedicels shorter than the 
bracts, half as long as the calyx: divisions of calyx linear-subu- 
late, longer than the corolla-tube, 4.5 mm. long, enlarging in fruit 
‘and conniving over the nutlets, outer surface densely clothed with 
spreading yellow bristles, inner with the bristles appressed: corolla 
white, the tube shorter than the limb; divisions broadly oval to 
orbicular, not extending to the throat, 3 mm. long, equalling the 
tube ; crests in the throat prominent, rounded, half as large as the 
anthers ; crests at base nipple-like, in pairs, 1 mm. from the bot- 
tom: anthers on scarcely perceptible subulate filaments, oblong, 
I mm. long, inserted below the crests in the throat: nutlets 
1-2 maturing, erect, ovate, obtuse, keeled on the dorsal side and 
rough with sharp transverse interrupted muriculations, having fine
