Rocky MountTAIn FLORA 147 
vided into about 5 divisions, finely and sparingly puberulent when 
young, dark green ; petioles 4-5 cm. long; divisions of the blades 
1.5—2 cm. long, cuneate-obovate in outline, divided half-way into 
oblong mucronate lobes : inflorescence short and few-flowered ; 
pedicels ascending, 1 cm. or less long, viscid; bractlets minute : 
sepals dark blue, oblong, obtuse or the upper acute, viscid-puber- 
ulent ; spur 8-g mm. long: upper petals blue and yellowish, 2- 
toothed at the apex; lateral petals 2-cleft; lobes lanceolate : 
follicles not seen. 
This is not closely related to any of the American species. It 
has the cespitose habit of D. g/aucescens, but is a much smaller 
plant. It grows among rocks at an altitude of 3300 m. or more.

’Delphinium multiflorum 
A tall perennial with a woody caudex; stem about 1 mm. 
high or more, viscid above, glabrate below: leaves palmately 
divided into 5-7 divisions, glabrous and glaucous, pubescent only 
on the margins and veins; petioles 1-2 dm. long, slightly dilated 
at the base ; segments obovate-cuneate in outline, 5-7 cm. long, 
first cleft about half-way and then again cleft into lanceolate, ovate 
or oblong acute lobes: inflorescence long and dense, often 
branched ; bracts linear; pedicels ascending, I-1.5 cm. long, 
densely viscid-pubescent : bractlets small, linear, close under the 
calyx: sepals light blue with darker median lines or blotches 
towards the tips, oblong-oval, obtuse or the upper acutish, finely 
puberulent ; spur thick, straight or slightly curved, 12-15 mm. 
long, almost horizontal : petals of the same color as the sepals ; 
the lateral ones cleft only at the apex, often wavy-toothed : follicles 
erect, densely viscid-pubescent. 
This is nearest related to D. cuculatum A. Nelson on one hand 
and to D. occidentale on the other. From the former it differs in 
the pubescence, which in D. cuculatum is strigose, in D. multt- 
forum viscid. D. occidentale has much darker flowers and more 
acute sepals. D. multiforum grows along streams and in damp 
meadows or Open woods at an altitude of 2000-2500 m.
