LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED IN SOUTHEASTERN 

 UTAH, WITH NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF 

 NEW SPECIES. 



BY ALICE EASTWOOD. 



1. Delphinium scaposum Greene. Widely distributed 

 through the region. Collected near Moab, along McElmo Creek, 

 and at Mancos. 



2. Berberis Fremonti Torr. Collected near Moab, across 

 the Grand River, in fruit. It grows along the rocky sides of the 

 canon. The plants were covered with a scale insect. The fruit 

 is a berry containing no juice. The loose coat encloses about 

 ten or twelve seeds. It was also collected in flower between 

 Hatch's Wash and Monticello; but the amount of fruit is much 

 less than the quantity of flowers. In the latter locality it grew 

 along cliffs near the bed of streams that in May were dr}^ 



3. Argemone platyceras Link & Otto. A peculiar, 

 rather sickly-looking plant was collected at Moab, with narrowly 

 oblong leaves, very spiny, but not in the least hispid, flowers not 

 an inch in diameter, fruit also small, but not ripe, and so not in 

 a fit condition to describe. 



4. Draba Caroliniana Walt. var. micrantha Gray. 

 Found under sagebrush and pinons from Grand Junction to 

 Mancos. 



5. Arabis pulchra M. E. Jones. This was noted in sev-

 Hatch's Wash and Monticello. 



6. Lepidium montanum Nutt. This grew in abundance 

 in Hatch's Wash under the sagebrush and at other places along 

 the road. I believe, as Professor Jones, that there is no real dis-
