SOME NEW SPECIES OF WESTERN POLEMONIACEAE. 
ALICE EASTWOOD, 
- Polemonium albiflorum, sp. nov.—Stems simple to the inflo- 
rescence or branched from the base, rather tall, glandular-hairy 
throughout: leaves with 11-15 lanceolate-acuminate, callous- 
tipped divisions, 2°™ long, 2-4™™ wide; petioles none or short 
on the lower cauline leaves; radical leaves not seen: inflorescence 
thyrsoid, the peduncles of the lower clusters longer than the 
leaves; bracts small, foliaceous; bractlets none: calyx 7™™ long, 
densely glandular on the outer surface, sparingly so on the inner ; 
divisions about as long as the campanulate tube, obtuse or acute: 
corolla crateriform, white, 2° in diameter, the orbicular divisions 
twice as long as the tube, 6™™ wide, margin suberose: stamens | 
exserted, the filaments 7™™ long with a hairy tuft at base, inserted 
2™m above the base of tube; anthers oblong, 4™™ long, mucro- 
nate: style and stigmas conspicuously exserted from the opening 
bud, stigmas about half as long as the style; ovary ovoid, con- 
taining several ovules. 
This differs from P. occidentale Greene in the different shape of the 
corolla and the different leaves with leaflets confluent on the winged rachis. 
Perhaps it might be considered a form of P. fo/iosissimum, but the pubescence 
is much finer and the leaflets more like those of P. f/icinum Greene, while 
the stamens and stigmas are exserted even in the bud, and the flower is 
arger. 
We have three specimens from Utah in our collection, the type having 
been collected at Scofield by Mr. S. J. Harkness, June 29, 1902. No. 5601 
Marcus E. Jones, collected on Soldier Summit at an altitude of 7300*, grow- 
ing in gravel, and a specimen collected by Mrs. Willie C. Dodd are probably 
the same. 
Polemonium californicum, sp. nov.— Caudex branched under- 
ground from a tap root and again at the surface: stems 10-15°™ 
high, sparingly pilose with lax, jointed hairs, viscid-glandular 
throughout, slightly angled, leafy only below the few flowering 
branches: radical leaves often as long as the entire plant, the 
leaflets rather distant, opposite or alternate, 21-23; rachis and 
1904] 437
