linear and acute ; the upper petals delicately veined with blue, which occurs 
in none of the Nevada specimens. On Antelope Island, Salt Lake, and in 
the Wahsatcli Mountains ; altitude 4,500-9,000 feet ; May-July. It \\'as

glabrous, upper part and the carpels densely villous ; leaves reniform, 3-5- 
parted, the lobes entire or 2-3-cleft, oblong and rather broad ; bracts simple, 
minute ; raceme 1-5-flowered ; spur subulate, straight, longer than the oblong 
obtuse sepals ; root grumous. — This seems to be a well-marked species ; more
