Eriogonum Ordii. Belonging to the E. pusillum group : diffusely 

 branching from the base, 1 to 2 feet high, the leaves and lower part of 

 the stems thinly floccose-tomentose : leaves broadly elliptical, obtuse, 

 attenuate at base, the blade 1 or 2 inches long : pedicels filiform and 

 elongated, spreading, in a very diffuse panicle ; involucres narrowly 

 turbinate, glabrous, ^ line long or less : flowers white or tipped with 

 pink, very pubescent, a line long in fruit, the sepals narrow. — On 

 sand-dunes near Fort Mohave in western Arizona ; collected by J. G. 

 Lemmon in April, 1884, and at his suggestion named for Dr. J. L.

 collections were made in that region. In the inflorescence and fruit 

 it much resembles E. injiatum.
