later. The type was collected by Thomas Nuttall and labeled 

 by him Potentilla oregana. This name is cited in Torrey and 

 Gray's Flora as a synonym under P. glandulosa. It is, however, 

 more closely related to D. Wrangelliana, having the same oval 

 sepals, rounded and mucronulate at the apex, and the small petals 

 of the species; but the pedicels are longer, those of the earlier 

 flowers 1-2 cm. long, the infloresence less leafy, and the petals 

 pure yellow instead of ochroleucous. The stem is also usually 

 more conspicuously long-hairy. It is of more northern distri- 

 bution, ranging from the Mackenzie and British Columbia to 

 Idaho and Oregon, while D. Wrangelliana is confined to California. 

 The following specimens belong here:

When preparing the manuscript of my monograph in 1896, 

 I studied several specimens labeled Potentilla reflexa Greene. 

 Thinking these specimens authentic I drew my description of 

 Drymocallis reflexa (Greene) Rydb. mainly from these specimens. 

 Among this material was Coville & Funston 1355, from which the 

 illustration was made. Having the opportunity to see Dr. 

 Greene's type while preparing the new revision for the North 

 American Flora, I saw my mistake, and the plant described as 

 D. reflexa in my monograph appears under the name D. laxiflora 

 in the later work. In D. laxiflora, as well as in most species of the 

 D. Wrangelliana group, the leaflets are rounded-obovate and the 

 plant conspicuously viscid ; while in Greene's specimens of D. reflexa
