270 Heller : New Plants from 



the names of V. sylvatica or V. Sitchcnsis, and some few perhaps 

 as " V. montana n. sp.," for I had intended to adopt the latter 

 name, not knowing at the time that it had already been used in 



this genus. 



Eriophyllum pedunculatum 



Stems several, simple, erect from a slender perennial rootstalk, 

 3-5 cm. high, reddish below, sparingly floccose, leafy ; leaves 

 alternate or sub-opposite, oblong-lanceolate, narrowed at the 

 sessile, somewhat clasping base, mature ones 5 cm. long, 1 cm. 

 broad, entire, or undulate-denticulate, acute, the margins incurved 

 on the lower side, which is covered with floccose tomentum, 

 midvein prominent, yellowish, upper side less floccose and some- 

 times almost glabrous ; upper part of stem naked, forming a 

 peduncle 5-15 cm. long; heads nearly 1 cm. high, about 2 cm. 

 across when expanded ; involucre lanate, firm and coriaceous, the 

 divisions eight in number, lanceolate, keeled, the short-acuminate 

 tips recurved ; ray flowers oblong, orange yellow, about 1 cm. 

 long, 4 mm. wide, three-toothed ; disk flowers colored as are th< 

 rays, glandular pubescent on the outside, the lobes very short, 

 triangular-lanceolate ; anther tips ovate, obtuse ; akenes cuneate- 

 linear, glabrous. 



The type is our no. 3390, collected in a dry, open place in the 

 woods on the left bank of the Sweetwater, almost opposite the 

 head of Lake Waha, Nez Perces county, Idaho, altitude about 

 3000 feet. The specimens were obtained along the ditch which 

 leads from the Sweetwater to the lake, and were growing on a steep 

 slope, among grass and small bushes. 



This species seems to belong to Gray's section Trichophylw** 

 and is probably part of his composite Eriophyllum cacspitosum, but 

 certainly distinct from any of the forms described by him. I* 

 may be part of his E. caespitjsum var. leucophyllum, but does not 

 at all agree ■ with Bahia leucophylla of DeCandolle. I have dis- 

 tributed it as ''Eriophyllum integrifolium" a plant since raised to 

 specific rank by Professor Greene, and as I now understand rt 

 nothing like this species.

Our no. 3229, collected on gravelly hillsides along the Cle ar ' 

 water river, near Lewiston, Idaho, seems to me to be typ lC<
