in. ; blades ovate-orbicular, crenately-lobed, the lobes crenately- 

 dentate, deeply cordate at base, 2 in. wide, 2^ in. long. Flower- 

 ing stem with 1-2 bracts, paniculate, the peduncles and pedicels 

 slender, finely glandular. Flowers very small ; caljrx wedge- 

 shaped at base. Petals white, linear, narrow, exserted beyond 

 the sepals, with the stamens and the pointed ovary tipped with 

 the hair-like styles. Millwood. 



Heuchera, new species, near H. ruhescens Torr. Perennial, 

 from a woody, thick rootstock, tufted at base with a branched 

 caudex, very leafy and clothed with the brown bases of former 

 leaves. Leaves ovate-orbicular, cordate or truncate at base, 

 crenately-lobed and conspicuously ciliate, about % in. in diame- 

 ter, smooth. Flowers in narrow panicles terminating the leafless 

 stems ; inflorescence glandular, puberulent. Calyx urn-shaped, 

 with the base wedge-shaped, hairy and glandular. Petals white,

Ribes amictum Greene. Prickly Gooseberry. Shrub 

 with widely spreading branches, spines under the axils stout, 

 three, except on the younger branches, ^ in. long. Leaves small, 

 less than an inch in diameter, 3-5-lobed, smooth, or clothed with 

 fine, close pubescence. Peduncles 1-2 flowered ; bracts small, 

 clasping, at first enclosing the flower. Calyx dark crimson, half 

 an inch long, with hoary tube and reflexed lobes in flower. Petals 

 white, involute. Stamens with filaments slightly exserted ; 

 anthers mucronate, rose-color. Berry densely clothed with stout 

 prickles, which together with the surface of the skin are clothed 

 with fine, curly hairs. This is used for making jelly by the people 

 in the mountains. Bubbs Creek, Millwood. 



Ribes lasianthum Greene. Low, spreading shrub with tortu- 

 ous branches, very spiny, with generally 3 spines at the axils ; 

 bark shreddy. Leaves small, less than Y^ in., almost glabrous, 

 but with the petioles glandular-puberulent, orbicular, 3-5-lobed. 

 Flowers 1-3 in short-stemmed clusters, yellow. Calyx hairy with 

 the tube longer than the lobes, petals spatulate, longer than the 

 stamens; filaments broad, anthers obtuse, cordate. Fruit not 

 known. This was seen only on Harrisons Pass near timber line. 

 The material is too poor for certainty regarding the species, and it 

 is very desirable to have specimens with fruit collected. 



Ribes lacustre molle Gray. Gooseberry. Low and intric- 

 ately branched, with 3 stout spines at each fascicle and some scat- 

 tered prickles ; old bark shreddy ; glandular, hairy- pubescent
