68 PROCEEDINGS OP THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



Var. "Wrightii. More robust, liispidulous, even up to the pe- 

 duncles, sometimes :i few small bristles near the tips of the iiivolucrijl 

 bracts: pappus dull white. — Crepis amhigua, Gray, PI. Wright, i. 120, 

 not PI. Fendl. — Western border of Texas, between the Limpio and 

 Rio Grande, Wright. 



H. CYNOGLOSSOiDES, Arvet-Touvet. A foot or less high (either from 

 a naked base, or more commonly from a tuft of radical leaves), simple, 

 2-several-leaved, setose-hirsute or hispid at base, either liispidulous or 

 glabrous above : leaves lanceolate to spatulate-oblong, at least the 

 lower conspicuously setose-hirsute, upper sometimes glabrous : heads 

 few or several and corymbosely disposed: involucre 4 or 5 lines high, 

 glandular, sometimes glandular-hispidulous : pappus whitish. — N. W. 

 Wyoming and Montana to Washington Terr., Oregon, and N. Cali- 

 fornia. — Arvet-Tou vet's species (Spicil. 20) is wholly founded on 

 Parry's no. 188 of Wyoming collection, quite immature specimens of 

 a form so nearly on the line between this species, as here recognized, 

 and IT. Scouleri, as to throw doubt upon the distinctness. A better 

 representative of the species is found in the //. Scouleri, Torr. & 

 Gray, Fl. ii. 478, chiefly, described from a specimen given by Sir 

 William Hooker to Dr. Torrey, ticketed by the former " Hieracium 

 Scouleri, coll. Scouler." This misled the authors of the Flora of 

 North America into a character of that species which is not congru- 

 ous with the original one. 



Var. NUDiCAULE. Leaves all in the radical tuft, or only one or 

 two small ones on the slender (8 to 12 inch higli) and glabrous scape. 

 — Northern portion of the Sierra Nevada, CviWiovinix, Lemmon, Mrs. 

 Austin. 



-I- -1— H— Flowers apparently yellow, only 5 to 15 in the narrow and 

 diffusely paniculate heads: involucre cylindraceous, of 7 to 9 broadly 

 linear and obtuse principal bracts and 2 or 3 short ones, not at 

 all glandular: akencs comparatively large, fully two lines long, 

 chestnut-brown, slightly or at maturity not perceptibly tapering 

 to the summit : pappus dark -fuscous : leaves obovate-spatulate, 

 all in a radical tuft at the base of the loosely branching rather 

 low scapes. 



II. BoLANDERi, Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. vii. 365. Leaves sparsely 

 or densely long-hirsute : no other pubescence : scape and involucre 

 smooth and glabrous. — Mountains in Humboldt Co., N. California, 

 Bolander. Head-waters of the Sacramento, Pringh. Sierra Co., 

 Lemmon. Only in Bolander's specimens do the (immature) akenes 

 have a tapering summit.
