Valeriana pubicarpa sp. nov. 



Perennial, with a rootstock ; stem 2-4 dm. high, finely puber- 

 ulent, not bearded at the nodes ; basal leaves spatulate or oblan- 

 ceolate, 2-6 cm. long, thin, glabrous or nearly so ; stem-leaves 2-4 

 pairs, the lowest pair similar to the basal ones, the rest 3-5- 

 foliolate or the uppermost minute and simple ; leaflets oblong or 

 lanceolate, rarely elliptic, 2-5 cm. long, entire ; inflorescence short 

 and dense, corymbiform or subcapitate ; flowers mostly perfect ; 

 corolla funnelform, 4-6 mm. long, more or less pubescent ; limb 

 about 4 mm. wide ; fruit finely pilose, 5 mm. long, 2 mm. wide. 



This species has the habit of Valeriana occidentalis and V. 

 micrantha, but the corolla of V. Scouleri. From the first, it differs 

 111 the longer corolla and the pubescent fruit ; from the second, in 

 a corolla twice as long and a denser inflorescence ; from the last, 

 in the narrower entire leaflets, and the pubescent fruit ; and from 

 all in the puberulent stem, which lacks the beard at the nodes and 

 on the sheaths. It grows in the mountains at an altitude of 

 2,000-3,000 m.
