ROBINSON. SPERMATOPHYTES, NEW OR RECLASSIFIED. 395 



saepe 5-6 mm. longis, floriferis multo brevioribus ; sepalis purpura- 

 scentibus orbiculatis 6-7 mm. latis et longis, concavis, cum pilis canis 

 et sericeis parce investis ; petalis aurantiacis cuneatis 5-15 mm. latis, 

 sepala multo superantibus, apice undulatis rotundatis, basi cum squa- 

 mula hemicycla supra brevem unguem ; staminibus numerosis, loculis 

 antherarum separatis, dorso filamentis planis ; acheniis spicatis, recep- 

 taculo subulato albo membranaceo pilosello ; stylis purpureis vel flavis 

 rectis vel curvatis et divaricatis, apice saepe deciduis. — Alpine Wal- 

 lowa mountains, eastern Oregon, altitude 2745 m.. growing at base of 

 cliffs, William C. Cusick, 16 August, 1907, no. 3200 (type, in Gray 

 Herb.). Under the same species are included with some doubt the fol- 

 lowing, all collected by Mr. Cusick at the same locality : — no. 3188, 

 strong growing plants, some with smooth, others with hairy akenes 

 but otherwise identical ; 3325 d, with akenes all hairy ; 3326 with both 

 hairy and smooth akenes. Among the older specimens in the Gray 

 Herbarium are 3219 a collected in 1907 with heads of akenes more 

 globular and hairy, styles purplish, 1513 of 1888 and 2006 of 1898. 

 These all show great variability in size of flowers and height of stems 

 but the plants have an individuality which makes them appear quite 

 distinct from R. Suksdorfii with which they have been confused. In 

 general this species differs from R. Suksdorfii in having more orbicular 

 leaves with more deeply cut divisions, narrower basal sinus, the ulti- 

 mate lobules obtuse and narrowing slightly to the base thus making 

 the dividing space rounded rather than acute. The akenes are not 

 angled, hairy instead of smooth, and the style curves outward more 

 noticeably and is less strongly subulate.

 68 (type, in Gray Herb.). A species of the § Hypophysca and related
