Capnoides hastatum sp. nov. 



Glabrous green perennial, I- 1. 5 m. high, branched above ; 

 leaves 2-4 dm. long, thrice pinnatifid ; ultimate divisions elliptic 

 or oval, 1—2 cm. long, mucronate ; racemes i dm. long or more ; 

 bracts oblanceolate, about i cm. long ; pedicels about 3 mm. 

 long ; sepals narrowly hastate with broad often toothed, divergent 

 basal lobes, about 2 mm. long; corolla with the spur 15-18 mm. 

 long, salmon-pink ; hood scarcely crested. 



This species is closely related to C. Ciisickii (S. Wats.) Heller, 

 but differs in the smaller corolla, less crested hood and the sepals 

 which are hastate instead of reniform and laciniate.

Capnoides brachycarpum sp. nov. 



Glabrous and glaucous perennial with thick root ; stem 3-6 

 dm. high, branched above ; leaves 2-3 dm. long, thrice pinnatifid; 

 ultimate divisions lanceolate or lance-elliptic, 2—3 cm. long, 5-12 

 mm. wide; racemes 1-2 dm. long, the upper often branched; 

 bracts linear-subulate, about 5 mm. long ; pedicels ascending, 

 about 5 mm. long ; sepals ovate, acute, 2—3 mm. long with 

 toothed auricles at the base ; corolla, including the spur, about 

 15 mm. long, yellowish, the inner petals tipped with purple or 

 brown ; spur about the length of the body of the petals, horizon- 

 tal ; crest of the hood obsolete ; pod horizontal or reflexed, obo- 

 void, about I cm. long and 6 mm. wide. 



This species was included in the original description of Corj/- 

 cialis Braiidcgci S. Wats., but the type of the latter and all Colo- 

 rado specimens can easily be distinguished b}^ the green, scarcely 

 elaucous foliage, the broader oval or obovate mucronate divisions 

 of the leaves, the broader and obtuse sepals, the longer corolla, 

 which is fully 2 cm. long and has an almost erect spur, and the 

 fruit, which is fully 1.5 cm. long but scarcely more than 4 mm. 

 thick. C. bracliycarpuni grows along streams at an altitude of 

 nearly 3000 m.
