1880. Oregon, without locality, Howell. Near Donner Lake, Torrey, 

 18G5. Strong's Canon, near Truckee, Mrs. Layne- Carran, 1884. It 

 has, with others, passed under the name of Eritrichium leiocarpum, 

 and in appearance is most like the original Krynitzkia.

 Nearly throughout California, and east to Nevada and southwestern 

 parts of Idaho. This species, now distinguished from its allies, may 

 well bear the name of Dr. Torrey, who was an early investigator of 

 this group, and who himself more than once collected it, whether or 

 not it be the one he had mainly in view as K. leivcarpa in his refer- 

 ences in Bot. Mex. Boundary, &c. But what he so called in Pacif. 

 R. Rep. iv. 124 is A', oxycarpa. The calyx varies in length, &c., 

 evidently passing into

 Nevada by J. D. Hooker and A. Gray, 1872. Lake Co., California, 

 V. Rattan, 1 884, a form seemingly abnormal by the capitate-congested 

 inflorescence and much prolonged sepals.
