MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN. 255 



Yellowstone Park : 1888, Dr. Chas. H. Hall. 

 Wyoming: Laramie, 1894, Nelson^ 28^. 



* Aragallus argophyllus. 



Densely cespitose ; stipules large and membranous, hairy ; leaves 

 silvery-white, 3-4 cm. long; leaflets 3-5 pairs, linear-lanceolate, 

 generally less than i cm. long, mostly convolute; scape less than 5 

 cm. long, depressel and curved upward, vvhite-strigose ; spike capi- 

 tate ; bracts linear-lanceolate, half as long as the calyx ; the latter 

 white silky-hirsute, cylindric ; the tube twice as long as the linear- 

 lanceolate sepals and half as long as the corolla ; standard and wings 

 rather narrow ; fruit unknown. 



This species has been confounded with A. nanus, from which it dif- 

 fers in the silvery-white pubescence and the long cylindric calyx. 

 The form of the calyx in flower does not at all suggest that it will 

 become inflated in fruit. 



Montana : Little Blackfeet River, i860, Coopcr''s Journey (Herb. 

 Torrey). 



* Aragallus Blankinshipii A. Nelson, Erythea, 7: 58. 



The description of this species agrees very closely with A. Bes- 

 seyi, except that the bracts are said to be small, linear-lanceolate and 

 shorter than the calyx-tube and the pod wholly included in the 

 calyx, narrowly elliptic, one-celled, and slightly inflated but with the 

 walls firm. It is, therefore, nearer related to A. coUinus. I have 

 seen no specimens.
