 leaf solitary, flat and falcate '/s in. wide; scai)e terete 3 to 4 

 inches high, shorter than the leaf; bracts three, broadly ovate,

 only verv slightly so in the free portion ; stigma trilobed l)ut 

 imdivide<l ; crests inconspicuous. 



This plant is abundant on Mt. San Antonio, where it was 

 collected this season by Mr. Fred Burlew. About 590 ft. from 

 the summit on the moist slopes exposed b\ the rel;reating snows 

 it grows in large i:)atches. I believe it has been heretofore con- 

 founded with A. bisceptrjiin on account of the exserted sta- 

 mens, but Mr. Standley, who kindly compared it with that 

 species, says it is different. No. 3000 Type in author's herl)- 

 arium ; cotype in Smithsonian.
