mitted to Dr. P. A. Rydberg for determination, who writes as follows 

 concerning them: 



"The two specimens of Physalis sent me belong to an undescribed 

 species. It is nearest related to P. virginiana intermedia Rydberg. * * 

 The new species differs from intermedia in the thicker and broader 

 leaves, the fruiting calyx, which is angled and more rounded at the base, 

 and in the lack of viscid pubescence. It may also be compared with 

 P. longifolia, but has much shorter and broader leaves and is more pu- 

 berule'nt. I would be glad to have you describe it as I have very little 

 time and pay no attention to any other botany at present except the flora 

 of the Rocky Mountain region."
