500 Eastwoop: New SprEciES OF WESTERN PLANTS 
form, a little more than 1 mm. long, with broadly deltoid obtuse 
divisions scarcely half as long as the tube: corolla rose-colored, 
tubular-funnelform, 1 cm. long; lobes rounded, as broad as long, 
subauriculate at base ; tube slightly hairy about the middle, glandu- 
lar on the lower third: stamens exserted from the throat, the fila- 
ments half as long as the reddish, oblong, versatile anthers : style | 
glabrous, 4 mm. long, with red, capitate stigma: ovary glabrous, 
oblong, not narrowed much at the two ends: fruit (immature) the 
same shape, but larger. 
This was collected by the author at Trinidad, Colorado, June, 
1891. It probably forms part of the aggregate included under S. 
rotundifolius Gray. It is quite unlike any other form which might 
be so included and does not agree with the original description of 
that species. 
» Echinocystis scabrida 
Stems climbing by numerous branched tendrils, deeply and 
obtusely ribbed, glabrous or with a pubescence of scattered woolly 
hairs: leaves 5-7 lobed with triangular lobes less than half the 
length of the leaf, entire or with an occasional aristate-tipped tooth, 
the lobes terminating in a slender, rather long bristle ; upper sut- 
face scabrous, lower with pubescence like the stem, general outline 
orbicular, or wider than long, but varying much in size ; petioles 
generally longer than the leaves, broadening at base, ribbed : 
flowers white ; the staminate in racemes, rotate, scabrous on the 
inner surface and with a few scattered hairs on the outer, 2 mm. 
in diameter; column of stamens short and thick : pistillate flowers 
12 mm. in diameter, the lobes deeper than in the staminate flowers 
and with similar pubescence : stigma broad, sessile: ovary orbicu- 
lar-ovate with a beak only 2 mm. long, tapering gradually, clothed 
with short weak bristles, containing 4 loculi, each with one ovule : 
bristles on the fruit flattened, weak, clothed with scattered woolly 
hairs, the surface below the bristles scabrous: seeds only one OF 
two maturing, flattened-orbicular. 
This is near Z. fabacea Naud., but differs in the smaller, less 
spiny fruit, 4-celled instead of 2-celled ovary and the short instead 
of long beak to the ovary. It was collected by Mr. T. S. Brande- 
gee in Fresno County, California, at Zapato, Chino Creek, March 
26, 1893, and also at Alcalde in the same region. 
/ Nemacladus gracilis 
Sparingly pubescent and diffusely branching, 1 dm. high; stems 
very slender, more or less zigzag : radical leaves spatulate, coarsely
