may belong either to this species or to dwarfed forms of the foregoing. 

 I have adopted one of the two specific names under which this species 

 occurs in Nut tail's collections. 



++ ++ Long i florae^ i. e. corolla tubo (lin. 4—6 longo) calycem pi. m. 



superante limbo suo 2-4:-plo longiore, fornicibus erectis elongatis 



(oblongis seu lanceolatis) : antheraj sublineares : sepala mox elon- 



gato-linearia : styli elongati : uuculaj intus pi. m. carinata;, a basi 



ultra medium usque gyuobasi subulataj adfixa) : herbte perennes, 



erectae, multicaules ; caulibus superne cum thyrso spiciformi inter- 



rupto tantum villoso-hispidis ; foliis prtesertim radicalibus pube 



adpressa pi. m. incanis. Flores heterogono-dimorphi.

Bot. King Exped. 243. Spithamoea ad semipedalem, Cicspitosa ; foliis 



spathulatis nunc fere linearibus ; corollaj tubo lin. 4 longo ; nuculis 



ovatis acutiusculis opacis dorso pi. m. papillosis vel tuberculato-rugosis. 



— Mountains of New Mexico and adjacent borders of Texas to those 



of Nevada, Wyoming, &c. 



K. LEUCOPH.EA. Myosotis Icucophcea, Dougl. in Lehm. Pugill. 

 «& Ilook. Fl. Bor.-Ara. ii. 82, t. 163. Eritrichium {Pseudo- Myosotis) 

 leucophceum^ A. DC. Prodr. x. 129. Pedalis et ultra; foliis lanceolato- 

 spathulatis nunc fere linearibus ; corolla3 tubo lin. 5-6 longo intus 

 parum annulato ; nuculis triquetris circumscriptione ovatis laivissimis 

 nitidis. — Dry interior region, from Brit. Columbia to S. Utah and 

 S. E. California. Probably the corollas are never yellow. The only 

 indication of it is on a ticket of specimens gathered by Prof. Brewer 

 near Lake Mono, about which there may be a mistake. The older 

 corollas of it appear to have turned brownish, as they are said to do in 

 the preceding species.* 



* Krynitzkia PHACELioiDES, Fiscli. & Mcycr, is cited by Pliilippi, Cat. PI. 

 Chil. 211, as a synonym of Eritrichium phacelioides, CIos in Gay, Fl. Cliil. iv. 468, 

 t. 62 bis. By the figure the plant seems to liave an annual root and marginless 

 nutlets; so tliat it is probably a Eukri/nitzk-ia, but with the habit of 



K. ALYSSOiDES, E .? ali/ssoicUs, DC Prodr. x. lol. which would seem to include 

 E. gnaphalioides, A. DC. 1. c, a suffrutescent perennial, perliaps also E. Gilliesii, 

 Phi!., at least Reed's plant so named, and to be referred to Psoudokrynitzkia. 



K. CLAXDESTiNA [Eritrichium, A. DC.) has already been referred to (p. 274), 

 and it may have some earlier and better specific name. This may also be the 

 case with E. cryptanthum, A. DC. 



K. LINEARIS, Mfiosotis linearis, Colla, Act. Taur. x.xxviii. 126, t. 42 (Eritrichium, 

 DC), an annual, has acute-edged nutlets which may refer it to the neighburhood 

 of A', oxygona. 



These are Chilian species, and there are many more in the books.
