RocKv Mountain Flora 151 



about 12-14 nini- ^ong, very oblique; lower sepals lanceolate or 

 oblong, acute, 7—10 mm. long. 



This is closely related to the preceding, but differs in the 

 broader and less deeply divided divisions of the leaves, the shorter 

 lower sepals, the more open and less leafy inflorescence, and the 

 more oblique lateral sepals. It grows at an altitude of 2400- 

 2800 m.

Aconitum glaberrimum 



Perennial with a tap root : stem almost i m. high, perfectly 

 glabrous : leaves 5-divided, thin, perfectly glabrous, the lower long- 

 petioled ; the uppermost subsessile ; divisions oblanceolate to 

 rhombic-oblanceolate in outline, 5—10 cm. long, cuneate and entire 

 at the base, irregularly doubly cleft above ; lobes or teeth lanceo- 

 late, acute or acuminate : inflorescence compound ; branches and 

 pedicels spreading or divergent, glabrous : flowers blue : lower 

 sepals lanceolate, 12-15 n^"^- ^o^g ; lateral ones very oblique, as 

 broad as long, about i 5 mm. each way, rounded, slightly reniform 

 on the upper side ; hood about 2 cm. long, deeply saccate, elong- 

 ated helmet-shaped ; beak long-attenuate, very porrect or even 

 ascending. 



The type specimen was included in A. Cobtvibiamnn by Dr. 

 Gray, his " Syn. Fl. N. Amer." label being on the sheet ; but it 

 is so unlike all other material of that species that I can not see 

 the reason why it should be included therein. The perfectly 

 glabrous stem, the branched inflorescence, the peculiar, deeply 

 saccate hood and the slender porrect beak are characters not found 

 in any other American aconite.
