 Kennedy 8699 ; Tuolumne meadows, Yosemite, 8,600 feet, R. A. Ware 

 2695c ; Yosemite Creek and Indian Caiion to Porcupine Flat, 8,000

The var. angustifolia is scarcely distinguishable when a large series 

 of sheets is available for comparison ; as a species, it is impossible, 

 for, as Nelson wrote, when revising this section of the genus, *'It 

 grades so imperceptibly into A. rosea that its recognition as a species 

 would not be justifiable." Hall and Babcock 647 from Glen Alpine, 

 Tahoe, 7,500 feet, as represented in the Dudley Herbarium, is cer- 

 tainly of this narrow leaved form, but Nelson cites this number "in 

 part" as an example of his var. imbricata {I.e., p. 707), differing from 

 the species in the broader leaves and more numerous bracts in the 

 involucre. He also cites Hall and Babcock 5610 from Hoekett's 

 meadows, Tulare County, 8,500 feet, a collection not seen by me. I 

 tentatively refer to the var. imbricata my own no. 85 from Desolation 

 Valley, Tahoe, by reason of its broader leaves; the involucral bracts 

 do not seem to be more numerous than in many of the specimens cited 

 above as illustrating the species.
