152 RYDBERG: STUDIES ON THE 
about 5 cm. long, twice ternate ; divisions rhombic-cuneate in out- 
line, ternately cleft and toothed ; teeth oblong-ovate: scape I-3 
dm. high, perfectly glabrous below the involucre ; peduncles finely 
appressed silky ; involucral leaves similar to the basal ones, but 
short-petioled and with longer lobes and teeth; peduncle solitary 
or a second one with a smaller involucre: sepals white or purplish, 
8-10, oblong-linear, 1-2 cm. long, finely silky: head of fruit 
ellipsoid, about 1 cm. thick and 2 cm. long: achenes densely 
woolly: style filiform, about 1.5 mm. long. 
This is closely related to A. sphenophylla of Chili, but in that 
species the whole scape is decidedly pubescent with spreading 
hairs and the segments of the involucral leaves are narrower. The 
following species belong here : 
Arizona: Sierra Tuscon, 1884, C. G. Pringle (type in herb. - 
Columbia University) ; Fort Huachuca, 1892, S. £. Wilcox. 
New Mexico: Mountain near Las Cruces, 1898, £ 0. 
Wooton. 
Uran: St. George, 1880, WM. E. Jones, 1607.

” Anemone lithophila 
Perennial with a short thick rootstock: basal leaves several, 
glabrous or nearly so, thickish, shining, somewhat glaucous; 
petioles 5-8 cm. long ; blades ternate ; divisions obovate-cuneate, 
about 3 cm. long, strongly veined, deeply 3-cleft, again cleft and 
toothed ; the ultimate segments short, oblong-oblanceolate : Scape _ 
1-2 dm. high, sparingly pubescent with long silky hairs : in- 
volucral leaves subsessile or short-petioled ; divisions similar to 
those of the basal leaves: sepals silky, ochroleucous, tinged with | 
blue, 12-15 mm. long, broadly obovate or oval : achenes densely — 
villous all over: style filiform, about 2 mm. long. 
The type was growing with A. parviflora at an altitude of 1800 
m. As none of the specimens there had well-developed fruit and 
the plant is intermediate between A. parviflora and A. globosa 
Nutt., which also grew in the neighborhood, this species May bs 
a hybrid. The strong veins and shiny glaucous leaves suggest 
the former but the general leaf-form the latter, although the 
segments are broader and shorter and the leaves more glabrate. 
Watson’s specimen, which resembles the type perfectly has fully 
developed fruit, however. The type was labelled A. Te pales
