464 Rydberg : Studies on the Rocky Mountain flora 



leaves oblanceolate ; stem-leaves linear or linear-lanceolate, 

 about 2 cm., acute; flowers 1-3 in the axils; pedicels 2-8 mm. 

 long; calyx-tube about 2 mm. long; lobes linear-lanceolate, 3-5 

 mm. long, acute, scabrous on the margins; corolla about 5 mm. 

 long; lobes ovate, obtuse or acute; crown none. 



This little Amarella lacks the setaceous fimbriate crown at the 

 base of the corolla-lobes and therefore should be classified with 

 the arctic or subarctic A. propinqua (Richards.) Greene, and A. 

 arctophila (Griseb.) Greene, but the corolla-lobes are acute or 

 obtuse, instead of cuspidate.

Dasystephana obtusiloba Rydb. sp. nov. 



Cespitose perennial; stems erect or ascending, about 1 dm. 

 high; internodes short, equaling or a little longer than the leaves; 

 leaves very broadly ovate, 3-5 -ribbed, usually acute at the apex 

 and subcordate at the base; calyx-tube broadly turbinate, 5-6 

 mm. long; lobes broadly oval, rounded at the apex, often over- 

 lapping, about 8 mm. long; corolla dark blue, about 3.5 cm. long; 

 lobes rounded at the apex; lobes of the plaits about half as long 

 as the corolla lobes. 



This is related to D. calycosa, but differs in the lower habit and 

 rounded corolla-lobes.
