SPECIES OF LAPPULA 543 
ursinum. The fornix is exactly like that of the present species, 
but it is possible that fruiting material may show additional 
characters. 
NEvApDA: Battle Mts., June 1868, Watson, 860, Humboldt 
Mts., 27 May 18—, Beckwith. 
In the original description of this species the fruit was not 
described. The following are its characters as it occurs on the 
Nelson specimen above cited : 
Nutlets 3 mm. long; marginal prickles of two lengths, free to 
the base or nearly so, all glochidiate; back plane or with a more 
or less evident central ridge densely finely muriculate and bearing 
about ten short glochidiate prickles ; ventral surface finely rugose.

EL. hispidum Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 20: 259. 1884. 
This species differs from any other which I have examined in 
having the corolla-lobes broadest at base.. The species proper has 
been collected only by Cusick in eastern Oregon as follows: 
1880, rocky hillsides of Pine Creek near the mouth, 855; 31 
May 1808, hillsides near Snake River, 7906; 15 June 1808, 
Burnt River, 7906 ; without locality, 1885. 
The Wilcox specimen referred here by Dr. Gray in the orig- 
inal description belongs to ZL. cinerea as above. The Watson 
Specimen referred here with some doubt in the Synoptical Flora 
(2: 422) is an undescribed species.

The Original specimens of this species were collected by 
Douglas according to the note in Hooker's herbarium, ‘On the 
Stavelly banks of mountain streams near the head springs of the 
: Columbia ” ; according to the note in Bentham’s herbarium, 
_ “Kettle Falls and Spokan River, 1826.” 
The plant is quite common on the gravelly bluffs of Latah 
_ Creek and of the Spokane River within the environs of Spokane,
