252 RYDBERG: STUDIES ON THE 
A small plant characterized by the short pod, found other- 
wise only in two North American species, viz., D. azdina and D. 
oligosperma ; but in both of those species the leaves have strong 
midribs and are less stellate. In habit it resembles most D. xzvalts, 
but that species has a different pod. It grows at-an altitude of 
3500 m.

v Lesquerella Utahensis sp. nov. 
A tufted perennial : stems ascending, 5-10 cm. (seldom 15 cm.) 
high ; basal leaves 3—4cm. long, petioled ; blades oval or obovate, 
densely and finely stellate ; stem-leaves smaller, oblanceolate or 
spatulate: petals yellow, about 8 mm. long, with cuneate blades, 
¥ longer than the oblong sepals: pedicels in fruit ascending, 5— 
10 mm. long: pod almost spherical or slightly transversely flat- 
tened, 3-4 mm. wide, finely stellate: style 4-5 mm. long, much 
longer than the pod. 
This species is related to LZ. Wardz1, 7. e., it has the same habit 
and pubescence and the pod is asin that species somewhat thicker 
than broad ; but the latter is shorter, rounder, neither elongated 
nor acute atthe apex. JL. Utahensis grows atan altitude of 2000— 
3500 m.

‘ Stanleya runcinata sp. nov. 
Stem stout, glabrous: basal leaves about 2 dm. long, lanceo- 
late in outline, runcinately divided, softly pubescent with long white 
hairs ; lobes broadly triangular or the lowest ones oblong: stem- 
leaves ovate to oblanceolate, more glabrous : raceme 1-3 dm. long, 
many-flowered: sepals linear, about 1 cm. long and 1 mm. wide, 
light yellow, glabrous: petals about 1 longer; blades oblanceo- 
late, about % as long as the glabrous claws: filaments glabrous, 
about twice as long as the sepals: pods almost erect and straight, 
6-7 cm. long, 1.5 mm. wide, on spreading pedicels about 1 cm. 
long. : 
This species is perhaps most closely related to S. pinnata, but 
easily distinguished by the lobing of the basal leaves, the straight
