long, lanceolate-linear; anthers f inch long, on nearly as long 

 filaments ; styles with divergent foliaceous crests h inch long ;

(^wConmion in dry soil in the Nevadan region, notably in open 

 coniferous forests, at 5,000-6,000 ft. alt. Cuyamaca, San Jacinto 

 (JET. 31. Hall), San Bernardino and Cucamonga Mountains. 

 Flowering in June to July. This plant has been distributed by 

 me under Professor Foster's manuscript name of /. Parishii, but 

 it seems better disposed of as a variety of /. Hartwegi, from which 

 it differs in its broader outer segments, with claws, and larger crests, 

 but agrees in habit, capsule, and especially in seed character.
