374 PROCEEDINGS OP THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



1-celled and 1-ovuled ; ovule erect : stigma capitate, scarcely lobed. 

 — In the San Bernardino Mountains, California; W. G. Wright, 

 1880. An apparent congener of Elaterium Bigelovii, "Watson, which 

 is referred to Echinocystis by Cogniaux. His reference is here fol- 

 lowed provisionally, but the species are probably to be separated as a 

 distinct genus. 



Deweya vestita. Acaulescent, with a stout rootstock, densely 

 covered throughout with white soft spreading hairs : leaves com- 

 poundly pinnate, the numerous crowded confluent segments oblong, 

 obtuse or acute, a line or two long: pedimcles about equalling the 

 leaves, 2 or 3 inches high ; involucre none ; rays numerous, stout, 

 nearly an inch long ; bracts of the involucels several, short, lanceo- 

 late ; sterile secondary rays slender, -^ inch long or more : fruit ses.-^ile 

 or nearly so, pubescent, 2^- lines long. — Summit of Mount Baldy, 

 near San Bernardino, California ; S. B. & W. F. Parish, August, 

 1880. A very peculiar species. 



Angelica Ltallii. Stout, 4 or 5 feet high, glabrous : leaves 

 ternate-quinate, the leaflets 3 or 4 inches long (or in the upper leaves 

 1 to 3 inches), lanceolate, acute or acutish, mostly cuneate at base, une- 

 qually dentate : umbels 30-50-rayed, wholly naked; rays veiy unequal 

 (1 to 3 inches long) : fruit glabrous, 2 lines long, the dorsal ribs thick 

 and corky. — Collected by Dr. Lyall in the Galton and Cascade 

 Mountains, near the British Boundary, in 1859 and 1861 ; by Rev. R. 

 D. Nevius in Oregon, in 1873; and by myself in the mountains near 

 Missoula, Montana, in 1880. A. genuflexa, Nutt., from Oregon 

 and Washmgton Territory, is a more slender species, more or less 

 rough-pubescent, especially upon the inflorescence, with more acumi- 

 nate iuoisely toothed leaflets, the umbellets involncellate, and the 

 fruit larger. A. arguta, Nutt., reported by him from Vancouver 

 Island, has not since been collected. It is described as glabrous, with 

 small ovate ratlier acute leaflets and large oblong-elliptical fruit. A. ( ?) 

 verticillata, Hook., judging from the description given, -probably 

 belongs to some other genus. 



LoNiCERA Utahensis, Watson. It appears probable that the 

 single flower collected with the original specimens, upon whose 

 characters the species was chiefly based, was an abnormal one. 

 Otherwise the species closely resembles L. ciliata, but differs in its 

 more oblong and always obtuse leaves. It ranges from Southern 

 Utah to Northvvestern Montana and Northern Idaho, and to the Blue 

 Mountains of Oregon, and includes all the so-called L. ciliata of that 

 region.
