A. davisiae Jones, Contrib. 12:78 (1908), type loc. granite rocks, Victorville, Mohave Desert, 

 is probably close to A. fimbriatum var. mohavense; it has 2 bracts; perianth-segments oval, 

 acute, rather rigid, white, green ribbed, % longer than the stamens; but the ovary is not 

 crested (ex. char.). 



A. DECIPIENS Jones, Contrib. 10:16 (1902) ; A. innocnsis Jones I.e. 10:86, type loc. "Sum- 

 mit, Chvens Valley, 7000 ft.," seems near A. fimbriatum, but we have seen no specimens.
