BOTAI^Y. 
involucres sessile, 6-9, tiirbinate-campanulate, rather deeply 6-7-toothed, 
thinly membranous ; bractlets slightly bearded ; flowers with a broad or 
rather shortly narrowed base, not produced ; calyx 1^" long, glabrous, dull- 
yellow or rose-purple, the nearly equal segments obovate-subcuneate, emar- 
ginate ; filaments nearly glabrous ; embryo as in the last. — Peaks and high 
divides of the East and West Humboldt and Clover Mountains, Nevada ;

Var. LAxiFOLiUM, T. & Gr. Taller, scape 4' high, branches of the caudex 
more slender; leaves fewer, snblanceolate, acute, sometimes 1' long, on 
slender petioles ; flowers golden-yellow. — A strongly marked form, found on 
a rocky ridge of Stansbury Island, and in the Wahsatch, above Parley's Park;

Ekiogonum (Capitellata) elatum, Dougl. T. Sf G., I. c, p. 168. 
Perennial ; leaves all radical, very softly villous-pubescent or almost velvety 
beneath, ovate-oblong or sublanceolate, narrowed into a petiole, rarely sub- 
cordate or subhastate at base, margins usually undulate ; scapes 1-3° high, 
naked, rigid, rush-like, sometimes inflated ; involucres glabrate or glabrous, 
few, cylindric or turbinate-campanulate, repandly 5-toothed, many-flowered, 
gathered in heads or clusters upon a rigid panicle, sometimes only in pairs or 
solitary in the forks and on rather longer pedicels ; bractlets plumose ; base 
of the flower not produced ; calyx white or rose-colored, 6-parted, a little 
hairy at base, the segments ovate-oblong, nearly equal ; ovary glabrous ; 
embryo incurved ; cotyledons broad and short. — From Washington Territory 
to California and iNevada. On the Virginia and West Humboldt Mountains, 
Nevada; 7,000 feet altitude ; August, September. (1,022.) 
Ekiogonum (Fasciculata) fasciculatum, Benth. T. Sf G.^ I c, p. 169. 
Shrubl)y, glabrous or subtomentose, the branches with numerous fascicled 
leaves ; leaves small, oblong-linear or Hnear-spatulate, margins very revolute, 
the larger ones attenuate to a short petiole; involucres many-flowered, 
crowded in capitate usually 3-6-rayed cymes terminating the naked slender 
peduncles, truncate, subdentate, the teeth at first membranously united; 
calyx not produced at base, white or pinkish, the obovate-oblong segments 
nearly equal; bractlets plumose; ovary glabrous; radicle accumbent-incurved 
upon the rounded half-shorter cotyledons. — Southern Cahfornia. Var. POLi- 
FOLiUM, Gray. Hoary throughout with a fine pubescence, the leaves some- 
times glabrate above ; peduncles usually longer, 3-5' ; involucre-teeth not
