bulb-bearing; leaves J-2' in diameter; jjetals white, projecting 1-3" beyond 
the calyx. The seeds are described as smooth, but in these specimens are 
minutely muriculate. From Washington Territory to Northern California, 
and in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Found in the West Humboldt, 
Toyabe, and East Humboldt Mountains, Nevada, and in the Wahsatch ; 
5-10,000 feet altitude ; May-August. (362.) 
Tellima tenella, Hook. & Benth. {LitJiophragma, Nutt.) Root and 
stem with often numerous bulblets ; glandular-hirsute; leaves ternately 
divided, the segments 3-cleft; pedicels about equaling the campanulate calyx; 
calyx adherent to the base of the ovary, lobes pubescent witliin ; petals pink 
or white, irregularly 5-.7-lobed, lobes linear, acute; seeds small, oval, 
smooth.— Smaller than the last in every respect; stems 2-10' high and about 
3-5-flowered; leaves in diameter ; petals 2" long; bulblets usually numer- 
ous and often taking the place of flowers in the raceme. There can scarcely be 
a doubt that this is Nuttall's species, described from very poor and scanty 
specimens. Collected by him in Southwestern Wyoming, by Burke in 
Southern Idaho, and by Ives in Western Arizona; it is also 413 Fr(imont 
(1846) and 62 Anderson. Frequent in the Washoe and West Humboldt 
Mountains, Nevada, and in the Wahsatch and Uintas ; 5-9,000 feet altitude;
