collected in ZWy Creek Canon, near Salt Lake Citj-, at about 

 7000 feet altitude, on July 13, 1880, has broader leaves, on very- 

 long petioles, and the fruit on the same stem varies from ovate 

 to lanceolate, equaling the calyx or surpassing it by two lines. 

 In one pod the valves are ten and in the others five or more. 

 This is in fruit only. In other specimens collected at Lake Shore, 

 on the margin of Great Salt Lake, at about 4200 feet altitude, 

 the leaves are small, two to four inches long, oblanceolate and 

 apiculate, or rarely oval, and in that case long petioled; scapes 

 eighteen inches long, few to several flowered; flowers five-merous, 

 purple, small; anthers only a line to a line and a half long, and 

 broader at the very base, tube half as long; immature fruit 

 inclined to be cylindric. 



Specimens from Sprucemont, Nevada, gathered by me on July 

 II, 1 891, have scapes one and one-half feet high; leaves oblanceo- 

 late, barely acute, three inches long with petiole equaling blade; 

 capsule ovate-oblong, five-valved, twice as long as the subulate- 

 triangular calyx lobes. 



Ample material from Deep Creek, Western Utah, collected June 

 2, 1891, has scapes one and one-half feet high, stout or slender; 

 umbel twenty-five to fifty -flowered; pedicels one to two inches 

 long in fruit; flowers five-merous, purple, small; stamen tube 

 very short or as long as the anthers; anthers two lines long, wath 

 a subulate, purple beginning at base and extending above 

 the middle, tips white as well as the margins, no purple ring; 

 leaves four inches long or less, obovate to oblanceolate, entire, 

 tapering into a petiole which equals the blade or is very short; 

 capsule twice to four times as long as the subulate calyx lobes, 

 nearly cjdindric, and as in nearly all other Utah plants shortly 

 acute, five-valved, or in many cases ten-valved. 



A fruiting specimen gathered by me at Emigrant Gap, Cal., 

 in the Sierras, July i, 1882, has the capsule and leaves of var. 

 elliptiaim K. Brandegee and the anthers and stamen tube of var. 

 Jeff re vi K. Brandegee. The bracts are lanceolate acuminate 

 with filiform tips. The capsule is urceolate and a line longer 

 than the calyx lobes. 



My specimens gathered at Fall Brook, Cal., March 23, 1882, 

 and distributed in my sets as No. 3398, have a slender scape
