348 BOTANY. 
' Calochortus eurycarpus. Capsule 10" long, 6" broad, ovate, broadly 
winged ; seeds in two rows ; otlicrwise like the last. — East Humboldt Mount- 
ains, Nevada; 7-9,500 feet altitude; August. The characters of the pod 
and the altitude of the localities indicate a distinct species, but there is noth- 
ing whatever in the flower or habit to separate it from the last ; where the 
ovary is young the two are indistinguishable. (1,173.) 
" Calochortus Gunnisoni. (C. venustus, Var. ?, Torr. . Bot. Gunni- 
sorCs llejj.^ Pac. R. R. Surv. 2. 130.) Habit as in the last; petals rounded 
at the apex, white above, yellowish-green below the middle and dark-purple 
at base, strongly bearded with longish gland-tipped hairs, w^iicli are also dark- 
purple at base, the densely hairy gland transverse and occupying nearly the 
whole width of the petal ; anthers 5" long, rather exceeding the somewhat 
dilated filaments, oblong-lanceolate, subcordate at base, narrowed above into 
an aw n-like termination or acute ; immature capsule narrowly oblong, atten- 
uate above. — Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Collected also in Utah by 
Gunnison. 
Lloydia^ serotina, E-eich. Kunth^s Enum, ^. 244. Stem 1- (rarely 
2-) flowered, slender, erect or ascending, 2-5' high ; radical leaves fihform, 
ecpialing or exceeding the stem, triangular, semi-terete or teretish, the cau- 
line ones short and diminishing upward, linear-lanceolate, amplexicaul or 
somewhat sheathing ; sepals 4-5" long, obovate, with three purplish lines.— 
Arctic Coast and Unalaska ; Rocky Mountains of Colorado. East Humboldt 
and Clover Mountains, Nevada ; 10,000 feet altitude; August, September. 
The present specimens, like those from Colorado, resemble Var. ^s., R. & S., 
from Unalaska, in their somewhat rigid leaves and in the rounded apex of the 
sepals. (1,174.) 
Erytiironium grandiflorum, Pursh. Flora^ 1. 231. {E. giganteum, 
Lindl.) Eeaves 4-8' long, 1-2J' wide, oblong or elliptic-lanceolate, some- 
what nuigh-margined, not spotted nor punctate ; scape 6-15' high, 1-1 0-flow- 
ered, peduncles racc^med or su1)umbeled ; segments vellow, 9-15" lon^
