witli blue. Colorado to the Sierra Nevadas. Walisatcli and Uinta Mountains, 
Utah, on shaded mountain slopes, 7-9,500 feet altitude ; June-August. (37.) 
Delphinium elatum, L., Yar, (?) occidentale. Tall, (5° high,) gla- 
rous, or densely pubescent above; leaves deeply 3-5-cleft, the divisions broadly 
cuneate, somewhat 3-lobed and sparingly gash-toothed, the teeth narrowing 
abruptly to a callous point ; racemes many-flowered, (often densely so,) 
simple or panicled ; flowers pubescent, frequently white; spur longer than 
the sepals ; lower petals broad, slightly notched, often erosely dentate, nu)re 
or less densely bearded, the claw spurred at base. — It is difficult to determine 
satisfactorily the relations of this plant. It is the D. txaltatum of Bourgeau's 
collection; also the D. elatum, Var., of Parry, and Hall & Harbour, irom 
Colorado, though with longer and usually nuich more glabrous racemes of 
smaller ilowers. It dilfei-s from the smaller D. scopulorum in its much less 
laciniately dissected leaves, and in the lower petals being broader niid less 
deeply lobcd, while it seems to l>e as much unlike European specimens of 
D. elatum, in which also the claw of the lower petal is less conspicuously 
spurred. 1940 of Brewer's California collection, considered a good D. scopu- 
lorum, has the size and nearly the same foliage, but with all the petals nar- 
row and bifid. On stream-banks in the East Humboldt and Clover ]\fount- 
ains of Nevada, and in the Wahsatch, 7-8,000 feet altitude ; July-Sci>tem- 
ber. (38.) 
Delphinium Menziesii, DC. "Pubescent; leaves 5-parted, divisions 
2-3-cleft ; lobes mostly linear, entire ; lower bracts 3-cleft ; raceme 3-6-flow- 
ered ; spur straight, as long as the sepals ; ovaries somewhat tomentose ; root 
grumous." — The limits of this species (wherever they may be) scarcely ac- 
cord with this description. It is the prevalent si)ecies on the foothills of 
Nevada, and a suite of numerous specimens sliows a usually scanty pubes- 
cence ; sten] rather stout, 1-2° high; the h-aves orl)icidar in outbne, 
r)-7-parte<l, divisions more or less deeply 2-3-clefl ; Itracts mostly entire; 
racemes sim[)le, loosely few-b> ii),')uy-llo\\ ered ; s])ur usually curved, longer 
than the sepals, ascending ; cai)ules glabrous. It dithers ]>ut little from V, 
tricorne of the East, and approaches some of the other repute<l species of Cali- 
fornia. From Sontheni California to Pjehring Strait; Colorado. Abundant 
throuirhoul AVestern Xevada ; 4-5,000 feet altitude ; Afay-July. (;59.) It 
is occasionally seen with piuk tlowers, (40,) and very rarely witli the 
flowers double. (41.)
