Rydberg : Rocky Mountain flora 409 



Atragene pseudo-alpina diversiloba var. nov. 

 A peculiar form with merely ternate leaves, the segments of 

 which are more or less cleft or lobed, some rounded at the apex ; 

 staminodia conspicuous, spatulate or oblanceolate. 



This may be a distinct species, but the material is too scant. 

 The most striking character is the conspicuous staminodia, which 

 in the species are narrowly linear or more often lacking.

Stanleya glauca sp. nov. 



Tall, perfectly glabrous, 4-6 dm. high, bluish green ; lower 

 leaves 1-1.5 dm. long, more or less pinnatifid with linear-lanceo- 

 late or oblong lobes, the terminal usually much longer than the 

 rest ; upper leaves usually entire, linear-lanceolate ; racemes 3—4 

 dm. long, sometimes branched below ; sepals and petals lemon- 

 yellow ; the former oblong, about i cm. long, deciduous ; petals 

 of about the same length, long-clawed ; claws more or less pubes- 

 cent, about twice as long as the oblong blades ; fruiting pedicels 

 about I cm. long, more or less spreading; stipes about 1.5 cm., 

 slender; pod proper about 5 cm. long and 1.5 mm. thick, some- 

 what arcuate, but neither tortuose nor torulose ; seeds oblong, dark 

 brown, minutely pitted. 



This species is perhaps most nearly related to 6". intcgrifolia 

 James, which, however, differs in the following respects : the stem 

 lower, leaves thicker and broader, oval or broadly oblanceolate ; 

 the lower, if lobed, with broad and short lobes ; claws of the 

 petals broader at the base, shorter, scarcely longer than the oblong 

 spatulate blades. 5". glauca grows on the dry hills and table 

 lands at an altitude of 1,200-2,500 m.
