Thelypodium macropetalum sp. nov. 



A glabrous perennial, 4—6 dm. high : basal leaves oblanceolate 

 or spatulate, short-petioled, 2-5 cm. long : lower stem-leaves ob- 

 long, obtuse, sessile, with rounded auricles at the base, 5-6 cm. 

 long ; upper leaves lanceolate-sagittate, acute ; pedicels in fruit 

 about I cm. long, divaricate : sepals about 5 mm, long, purplish 

 with white margins ; petals purple, spatulate, long-clawed, nearly 

 three times as long as the sepals : pods 4—5 cm. long, ascending 

 or erect and somewhat incurved. 



This is related to T. sagittatiun (Nutt.) Heller and T. paniciila- 

 tuin A. Nelson. From the former, it differs in the smaller leaves, 

 the rounder auricles, the erect, not reflexed nor spreading pod ; and 

 from the latter by the much longer petals. It grows at an altitude 

 of 1,000-1,200 m.

Thelypodium Utahense sp. nov. 



Annual or biennial : stem 4-6 dm. high, sparingly pubescent 

 below; leaves all lanceolate in outline, 5—10 cm. long, lanceolate, 

 glabrous ; segments broad and crowded, oblong-lanceolate to tri- 

 angular : pedicels very short, in fruit scarcely more than i mm. 

 long : sepals oblong, about 2 mm. long : petals spatulate, almost 

 twice as long, white : pod about 3 cm. long, strongly reflexed. 



This is probably nearest related to 5. rcjfcxuvi Nutt., which is 

 decidedly hispid on the stem and the veins of the leaves and has 

 much narrower leaf-segments. It grows at an altitude of about 

 600 m.

Perennial with a short woody caudex : stems 2-3 dm. high, 

 glabrous, branched, glabrous : basal leaves pinnatifid with linear 

 acute divisions ; stem-leaves similar or the upper entire, narrowly 

 linear : racemes rather short and dense ; pedicels in fruit 6—8 mm.
