Gentianacece. 



Gentiana Forwoodii. Pneumonanthe, G. affiai sat similis ; 

 corollis subdimidio minoribus ; caulibus adsurgenti-diffusis (6-12-pol- 

 licaribus) usque ad apicem crebrius suba^qualiter foliosis; foliis oblongis 

 iniisve ovatis summis nunc angusto-lanceolatis ; calyce subcampanu- 

 lato brevi (lin. 2-3-longo) prorsus edentato margine sphacelato aut 

 ina^qualiter crenato-bilobo aut liiiic fisso quasi spathaceo. — High 

 meadows of the Wind River Mountains, Dr. W. II. Fnrwood, U. S. A. ; 

 coll. Au<:;ust, 1882, a low form, with stems little over a span high, 

 e(jiiably leafy to the very top, the leaves 6 or 7 pairs, uppermost 

 closely subteudiiig the three or four clustered flowers and of equal 

 length ; the specimens bearing small resemblance to G. a-ffinis. Again 

 collected in August, 1883, in abundant specimens, of 6 to 12 inches iu 

 height, with longer upper interuodes, narrower upjjcr leaves, short- 

 spiciform or racemiform inflorescence of iew or several flowers, and 

 so displaying its near relationship to G. ojjinis, the calyx-teeth of 

 which, generally large, are variable, and in some flowers a part or 

 even all of them obsolete. The corolla in this new species is dtcidedly 

 smaller, not over three fourths of an inch long, narrow, and with 

 shorter and rounder lobes, these little surpassing the plical append- 

 ages. None of the very many specimens, from several stations, 



» In Lemmnn's collection (fruit in 1881, flowers in 1882) we have Axckpias 

 fjlaucesrens. \\\\K , or, if the si)ecies are different, A. ehita, Benth. I'l. Iliiriw. It 

 is evidently the latter, which ai)pears to be cnminon in Mexico ; lint we sui)pnse 

 the plant described .md (iL'nred by Kiuith is only a somewhat snialler-llowereil 

 and narrower-leaveJ variety of the same species.
