222 PirpER : NOTEWORTHY NORTHWESTERN PLANTS 
In the Synoptical Flora the Howell specimen was referred to 
A. luzuloides T. & G. from which the brown involucre and stolon- 
iferous habit clearly separate it. It is probably nearest A. steno- 
phylla Gray but is larger in every way besides being stoloniferous. 
-Madia ramosa sp. nov. 
Annual, erect, 25-30 cm. high, loosely branched above, finely 
hirsute throughout, stipitate-glandular except at the base: leaves 
few, alternate, or the lowest opposite, only 2-5 pairs below the 
inflorescence, all sessile, linear, acute, 2-4 cm. long : inflorescence 
a loose cyme: heads solitary and lateral or 2-4 in terminal clus- 
ters, the lateral heads sessile or nearly so; heads oblong or nar- 
rowly ovate, flattened, 7-10 mm. long: disk-flowers 1-4, yellow; 
ray-flowers wanting, rarely 1-2, the ligule very short: akenes 
5 mm. long, curved, broadest near the apex, mostly carinate on 
one face. 
Blue Mts., Walla Walla county, Wash., Piper, 2457, Aug. 2, 
1896 (type). 
Sterile mountain ridges 5,000 ft. alt. Eastern Oregon, Cusick, 
1789, Aug., 1897. 
A close ally of JZ glomerata Hook., differing essentially in 
its much smaller size, glandular pubescence, sparse leafiness and 
loose inflorescence. 
Vv CACALIOPSIS NARDOSMIA glabrata var. nov. 
Differs from the typical form as follows: leaves larger, 10-60 
cm. in diameter, green above from the first, at length becoming 
glabrous beneath also : petioles relatively longer, 20-60 cm. long: 
heads smaller, less than 20 mm. high (20-25 mm. in the type): 
corolla shorter, about 15 mm. long ; corolla-lobes proportionately 
longer, one half the length of the broader part of the tube (only 
one fourth the length of the broad part of the tube in the type): 
akenes 4 mm. long (4—7 mm. in the type). 
The types of C. xardosmia Gray are from Sonoma, Humboldt 
and Mendocino counties, California. All of the Washington spect 
mens differ from the Californian in the particulars pointed out. 
No specimens have been seen from Oregon. 
Klickitat county, Swksdorf, 1883 (type in the Gray Herbarium).
