 G. IIooTcerianum, "Walp. Similar to the last but slenderer, inconspicuously retrorse- 

 pubescent below, the peduncles and pedicels villous with spreading white hairs tipped 

 with purple glands; uppermost reduced leaves lanceolate, serrate but not lobed; pedi- 

 cels more or less reflexed or spreading and bent in fruit; sepals canescent and somewhat 

 glandular; petals purple (?) or mostly white, villous on the inner side like the fila- 

 ments; beak 25-30 mm. long, sparingly fine-jjubescent and villous-glandular; styles free 

 for about 4 mm.; divisions of ovary 2 x 4mm., pubescent and somewhat glandidar- vil- 

 lous; seed 1.5 X 2.5-3 mm. — Open places and ravines in the mountains, SaskatcheAvau 

 to New Mexico and Arizona; also found in California. — PI. 9, figs. 6-8; 10, fig. 1. 



5. G. Fremontii, Torrey, Gray's Plant. Fendler., 26. More or less cespitose from a 

 very stout caudex, a span to a foot or two high, the smaller plants sometimes subacau- 

 lescent, the larger with slender spreading leafy branches, somewhat canescent, the 

 pedicels and often branches and petioles yellow-glandular; leaves typically closely 

 appressed-pubescent and stout-veined,* round-renifoi-m, 3-parted with broadly cuneate 

 divisions, the lower once or, especially on the radical leaves, twice cleft on the lower 

 side; radical leaves usually with closed sinuses, the cauline similar or mostly truncate at 

 base, with divergent lobes, all of which are incisely once or twice 3-toothed at apex 

 with crenate-acuminate coarse teeth; pedicels at length an inch or two long, refracted 

 in fruit; flowers rose-purple; petals 12-15 mm. long, emarginate, somewhat villous with- 

 in; filaments pilose, equalling or exceeding the pistil; beak 25-30 mm. long, dirty glan- 

 dular; styles free for 4-5 or even 6-8 mm. ; divisions of ovary 2 x 4 mm.; sparingly hairy 

 and glandular; seed 2 X 3 nun. — Mountains of Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Per- 

 haps not distinct from the next and very closely related to the preceding. The larger 

 form with conspicuously refracted jiedicels is var. Parryi, Engelm., Amer. Journ. 'Sci. 

 and Arts, third series, xxxiii, 405. — PI. 9, fig. 9. 



6. G. CAESPITOSUJI, James, Long's Exped., ir, 3 (?) ; Gray, PL Fendler., 25 ( !). Sim- 

 ilar to the last, but mostly longer stemmed and more decumbent and spreading from a 

 shorter or slenderer caudex, canescent but not glandular, except on some pedicels of a 

 few s'pecimens; leaves less frequently truncate at base, with a more or less open sinus, 

 their lobes narrower; peduncles long; pedicels mostly refracted in fruit; sepals long- 

 pointed; petals smaller, 8-12 mm. long, scarcely emarginate, villous within; filaments 

 bearded, conspicuously longer tlian the pistil; beak 25-35 mm. long, gray-pubescent, 

 stout-pointed; styles free for 4-5 mm. ; division of ovjry more ©r less villous, sometimes 

 with a few very short glandular hairs; seed 1.5 X 2.5-3 mm., reticulate. — Mountains, 

 Sau Bernardino Co., California(?) (/S'. B. Parish, 1806), Arizona, New Mexico, and 

 Texas, to Mexico.— PI. 9, fig. 10; 10, fig. 6; 12, fig. 3. 



There is reason to doubt whether James' plant was not reallj' the preceding, for he did 

 not collect south of Pike's Peak, while this species, as I understand it, is distinctively 

 southern. 



G. PRATENSE, L., of Europc, is reported by Fowler (Prelim. List of New Brunswick 

 Plants, 20), as escaped from gardens near St. John, N. B. But it need not be de- 

 scribed here.
