petiole slender, margined and ribbed, the petiole about one-third 
the entire length, gradually dilated to a sheathing membranous 
base; leaflets elliptical-ovate, obtuse or acute at apex, the base 
confluent with the rachis, generally acute and appearing petiolu- 
late, the upper more distinctly confluent, somewhat oblique, 
5-15™™ long, 3-7™™ wide; cauline leaves similar but with fewer 
leaflets and almost no petioles: flowers cymose in rather close 
clusters, erect in bud and flower; pedicels apparently flat, 2-5 ™™ 
long; bracts simple or with 3-5 divisions longer and more 
lanceolate than the leaflets: calyx tubular-campanulate, about 
5™™ long, the linear-lanceolate acute segments twice as long as 
the tube, a little more than 1™™ wide: corolla blue, funnelform 
with spreading divisions; these oblong, truncate or emarginate, 
5™™ long, 4™™ wide, glabrous or slightly pubescent; throat and 
tube about 3™™ long: stamens slightly unequal, the attached 
part of the filament densely woolly and forming a ridge in the 
corolla tube, the free portion 5™™ long; anthers white, ellipti- 
cal, obtusely sagittate at base, almost 2™™ long, surpassing the 
corolla but not the stigmas; stigma lobes white, conspicuously 
exserted both in bud and flower; ovary oblong in outline, about 
1™™ long: fruit not seen. 
The type was collected by the author at Snow Flat on the old Tioga Road 
in the Yosemite National Park, in early July 1902. There are fine speci- 
mens also from Yosemite collected by Mr. F. T. Bioletti. There are speci- 
mens also from Summit, Placer county, collected by Dr. G. Eisen and later 
by the author, It seems to be the form included under P. Aumz/e Willd., com- 
mon in the higher mountains of central California, and can always be dis- 
tinguished from allied forms by the conspicuously exserted white stigmas 
and long radical leaves. 
’ Polemonium calycinum, sp. nov.—Stems 10—20°™ high, pilose 
and viscid-glandular throughout, ribbed: radical leaves not quite 
equaling the stem, about 10°™ or less; rachis and petiole ribbed 
and margined, the latter about one-third the entire length, dilated 
and membranous at base; leaflets oblanceolate-obovate, 5-20™™ 
long, 3-5™™ wide, decurrent by the acute base, the three upper- 
most confluent, apex acute or callous-mucronate: flowers in 
short, close cymes, with entire or 3-5-foliate bracts; the bracts 
and divisions longer and narrower than those of the leaflets ;
