406 NeEtson: New PLANTS FROM WYOMING 
tip: akenes oblong, brown, 4 mm. long, nearly as long as the 
corollas; pappus of 2 linear-lanceolate awns as long as the akenes. 
That this isthe 1. giganteus Utahensis Eaton, Bot. King. Expd. 
169, I have no longer any doubt. Unfortunately a few specimens 
have been distributed under another name as a new species. 
Dr. Rydberg suggested that it might be the above and a compari- 
son since, by the writer, with the type deposited in the National 
Herbarium confirms that suggestion. Dr. Gray in the Synop- 
tical Flora made it a variety of H. Californicus DC., to which in- 
deed it is more closely related. The two are, however, abun- 
dantly distinct. 
H. Utahensis, very curiously, occurs frequently in herbaria as 
H. giganteus but for what reason is hard to guess. In habit and 
mode of branching it more nearly resembles H. Nuttall T. & G. 
It is common in the middle Rocky Mountains, occurring 
mostly on sandy stream banks. Some collections of it are: 1578, 
Laramie Peak, Aug., 1895 ; 684, Muskrat Creek, July, 1894; 
Laramie, Oct., 1894; 6757, Yellowstone Park, Aug., 1899; 
8135, Granger, Aug., 1900.
