Wet meadows, 4500 to DOOO i'eet : Sierra Nevada i'roin Tulare Co. to Modoc 

 Co.; Yollo BoUy Mts. North to Idaho. June-July, fr. Auj?.-Sept. 



Loaf variation." — In the typical form tlic usually crowded lateral divisions or leaflets are 

 oblong or linear and about 1 to 12 or :\ lines lon^j, while the terminal sefjments are elongated-linear 

 and 1 to 3 inches long. The leaflets are thus to some degree dimor])hic in size and position and 

 to some extent in shape. This tyjiical form is represented by tlie following: betw. ("edar Creek 

 and Colony Mill, North Fork Kaweah River, Jrpsoti ().j4 ; Mt. Silliman, Jtp.son 73.0; Chilnualna 

 Falls, Mari])osa Co., Cmujdoti ; Yosemite, Cont/don ; Battle Creek Mdws., Tehama Co., .7. Grinncll; 

 Hot Springs Valley, Lassen Peak, Jcpson 4100. Yet, one as frequently finds plants with the 

 ultimate divisions much alike or in any event not evidently dimorphic. This form is represented 

 by the following: llackberry Canon, Calientc, K. Brandegec ; Piute Peak, Kern Co., Purpus 5293 ; 

 Little Kern River near Deep Creek, Jcpaon 4915 ; Conness Creek, Tuolumne River, Jepson 3365 ;

Var. benignus Jepson. Leaflets filiform-linear, 1 to 2 inches long, all essentially alike; oil- 

 tubes 1 or 2 in some of the dorsal intervals, the others with none or with minute ones ; commissure 

 deeplv channeled, with 2 oil-tubes or with minute ones in a continuous thin layer. — Iletcli-IIetchy.

3. E. pringlei C. & R. Stem 1 to V/o feet hi<2:li; leaves pinnately compound 

 with brttad inflated midrib, the primary divisions once or twice pinnately divided 

 into few linear-filiform or linear-subulate segments 1 to 6 lines long, the terminal 

 segment 2 to 10 lines long; rays 5 to 10, I/2 to V/^ inches long; pedicels 1 to 2 lines 

 long; involucre of 1 or 2 very small bracts; involucels of several subscarious lance- 

 olate bractlets 1 to 2 lines long; fruit oblong, 2 to 2V2 lines long; oil-tubes 3 to 5 in 

 the intervals, 8 on the commissure.

4. E. parishii C. & R. Stem usually very slender, % to 1^4 (or 21/2) feet 

 high; tubers 1 to 3, fusiform; leaves ternate, sometimes bitemate; leaflets nar- 

 rowly linear to narrowly lanceolate, 1 to 3 or 4^/2 inches long, the terminal some- 

 times distant; uppermost leaves simple, bract-like; rays 5 to 22, 4 to 7 or 11 lines 

 long in fruit; pedicels 1 to 2 lines long; involucre none or scanty; bractlets 2 to 6, 

 narrowly lanceolate, 2 lines long; fruit oblong to ovate, 1 to 1^4 lines long; oil-tubes 

 2 to 5 in the interv-als, 6 on the commissure. 



Wet meadows and springy slopes, 5800 to 8000 feet : mountains of Southern 

 California; Sierra Nevada from Tulare Co. to Eldorado Co. July- Aug., fr. Sept.- 

 Oct. 



Locs. — S. Cal.: Cuyamaca, T. Brandegee (very stout) ; Deer Sprs., Mt. San Jacinto, C. V. 

 Meyer 545; Bear Valley, San Bernardino Mts., Parish 3171. Sierra Nevada: Hockett Mdw., 

 Tulare Co., Culbertson 4450; Poison Mdw., Soda Canon, upper Kern River, Jepson 1116; Mark- 

 wood Mdw., Fresno Co., Jepson 16,045; Silver Creek, Eldorado Co., Kennedy 163. This species 

 often whitens in July and August many acres of the swampy meadows in the Sierra Nevada. It 

 is probably very common but definite recognition of a particular station must needs wait in each 

 case on mature fruit or until our knowledge of the flowering stage is more precise.
