peJicel about equalling the bract. — In rocky places on the Santa 

 Rita Mountains, Arizona ; C. G. Pringle, July, 1881. Peculiar in the 

 very slight gibbosity of the perianth, and in the number of ridges and 

 strong veining of the lip. 



CvPKiPEDiuii FASCICULATUM, Kellogg, in herb. Dwarf (2 to 6 

 inches high), the villous-pubesceut stem scariously sheathed at base 

 and bearing a pair of nearly opposite ovate acutish leaves (2 to 4 

 inches long): peduncle viscid-pubescent, i^ to 1|^ inches long, with a 

 small lanceolate bract in the middle : flowers solitary, or usually sev- 

 eral in a terminal cluster, bracteate, greenish : sepals and petals lanceo- 

 late, acuminate, 6 to 8 lines long, brown-veined, the lower sepals 

 wholly united or very nearly so ; lip depressed-ovate, greenish-yellow 

 with brown-purple margin, 4 or 5 lines long : sterile anther oblong, 

 obtuse, equalling the stigma. — Collected by W. N. Suksdorf on the 

 White Salmon River, Washington Territory, above the falls, in May, 

 1880; by Mrs. R. M. Austin in May, 1881, near PrattviJle, Plumas 

 County, California ; and at some time previous by Mr. Bradley, prob- 

 ably in the mountains of Del Norte County. Resembling C. guttatum, 

 of Alaska. 



Iris tenuis. Rootstock very slender (a line or two thick) : stems 

 8 to 10 inches high, with 2 or 3 bract-like leaves 2 or 3 inches long, 

 2-flowered ; the longer leaves of the sterile branches of the rootstock 

 equalling the stems and 4 to 6 lines broad : bracts contiguous, the 

 longer about equalling the slender peduncles (2 to 4 inches long) : 

 flowers "white, lightly striped and blotched with pale yellow and 

 purple;" perianth-tube 2 or 3 lines long, the segments naked, slightly 

 spreading, oblong-spatulate, the outer 15 lines long, a little exceeding 

 the emarginate inner ones : ovary 3 lines long. — Discovered by L. F. 

 Henderson in 1881 on Eagle Creek, a branch of the Clackamas River, 

 Oregon. 



Allium Brandegei. Bulbs small, the reticulation of the coats 

 horizontally oblong (as in A. anceps) : leaves 2, exceeding the angular 

 scape, 4 inches long by 1 or 2 lines wide : pedicels slender, equal, 

 about 4 lines long: flowers rose-colored, the broadly lanceolate acute 

 segments 3 or 4 lines long, nearly twice longer than the stamens : 

 ovary not crested. — A pretty species, of the A. Douglasii group, 

 found by T. S. Brandegee in the Elk Mountains, Colorado, where he 

 reports it to be frequent. 



Allium Parishii. Bulbs with numerous reddish-brown coats, 

 without reticulation (or rarely minute and transversely short-oblong) : 

 scape rather stout, 4 to G inches high, with a single sheathing linear
