.Rocky Mountain FLora 249 
- Cleomella cornuta sp. nov. 
Annual: stem straw-colored, 2-3 dm. high, branched below 
with ascending branches, glabrous throughout: leaves ternate ; 
petioles 1-1.5 cm. long ; leaflets 1-2 cm. long, oblong or oblong- 
oblanceolate, obtuse, mucronate: inflorescence short: pedicels 
very slender, almost 1 cm. long: sepals yellowish, ovate, cuspi- 
date, less than 1 mm. long: petals light- yellow, narrowly oval, 
clawless, about 3 mm. long: filaments about twice as long: fruit 
broadly rhombic, broader than long, about 3 mm. long and 4mm, 
broad ; the corners often produced into short processes: stipe 6- 
8 mm. long; beak over I mm.: seeds about 2.5 mm. long, 1.75 
mm. wide, smooth and unmarked. 
This is related to C. oocarpa and C. plocasperma, but has 
broader leaflets. From the former it also differs in the strongly 
rhombic pod and from the latter in the broader and unmarked 
seeds. The type grew at an altitude of 1350 m.

Nat. Herb.). 
Cerastium Earlei sp. nov. Vv 
Perennial with a slender branched and stoloniferous root- 
stock: stems weak, ascending, 2-3 dm. high, viscid-puberulent, 
branched: leaves oblong or oblanceolate, obtuse, viscid-puber- 
ulent, 1.5-3 cm. long, 3-8 mm. wide: inflorescence open ; 
bracts ovate or ovate-lanceolate, not scarious ; pedicels 2-2.5 cm. 
long: sepals lanceolate, acute, sparingly pubescent, scarious on 
the margins, about 5 mm. long: petals about 1 cm. long or more, 
fully twice as long as the sepals, not very deeply cleft. 
The type number was determined by M. E. Jones as Cerastium 
alpinum near var. glabratum, and the other two numbers of the 
Baker, Earle and Tracy collection are labeled Cerastium -, 
and Cerastium arvense oblongifolium, respectively. The six sheets 
(two of each number) in the N. Y. Botanical Garden herbarium 
(except one of number 627, which represents a luxuriant state) 
are so alike that it is impossible to refer them to different species. 
In the size of the flowers, form of the leaves and general habit, 
the species resembles most C. a/pinum, but the pubescence is 
different : in C. alpinum long-villous and less viscid, in C. Zarlet 
very short and very viscid. The latter grows at an altitude of 
2700-3600 m.
