 Type in Herbarium of Columbia College. 



** Apparently intermediate between divisions * and***; achenia nume- 

 rous, densely capitate, but in tlie young state only slightly pubes- 

 cent. 



10. Anemone Tetonensis, Porter, n. sp. 



A. Baldensis, Hook., Fl. Bor. Am., i, 15 (1830) ? not L. 



Sparingly pubescent with long whitish hairs, especially at the involucre, 

 erect, from a woody rootstock, 10-15 cm. high. Radical leaves slender- 

 petioled, ternately divided, the divisions cleft into linear-oblong, obtusish 

 lobes ; leaves of the involucre similar, on petioles about 1 cm. long, their 

 divisions and lobes somewhat broader ; flowers 1-2, long-peduncled, 1-1^ cm. 

 broad, red or pink ; sepals 5, ovate-oval, obtuse, finely appressed-pubescent 

 without; young achenia in a globose head about 6 mm. in diameter, sparingly 

 pubescent, tipped with short, subulate styles. 



Distrih. Idaho: Teton Range, 10,000 feet altitude, 1872 (Coul- 

 ter); Needle Peak of Lost River Mts., 1890 (Vernon Bailey). 



I am uncertain v\^hether the A. Baldensis, of Hooker, belongs to 

 this species or to yl. Drummondii, S. Wats. 



*** Achenia glabrous or merely strigose-pubescent, less numerous. 



f Plants strictly l-flowered. 



\ Invohicral leaves sessile or nearly so. 



o Achenia with long, reflexed styles.
