BUDDLEIA MARRUBIIFOLIA Var. UtAHENSIS (Coville, 



Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 7, 69). This seems like a nar- 

 row leaved form, as the wider primary leaves are absent 

 in CovihVs specimens. 



Eriogonum nivale Canby seems to differ in no con- 

 stant respect from E. ovalifolium. 



Eriogomim Rusbyi Greene is E. Jonesii Watson. 



Abronia micrantha var. pedunculata. 



No. 5101. April 26, 1894, St. George, Utah, 2700 

 alt., in red sand. 



No. 5482m. June 22, 1894, Green River, Utah, 4500° 

 alt., in clay. 



No. 5i83t. May 7, 1894, Le Verkin, Utah, in gravel, 

 3400 alt. 



Peduncle double the petiole; fruit often 3 -nerved, 

 emarginate at both ends, often very large, 9" long; flow- 

 ers small; fruit often red. 



This seems like a hybrid with A. cy eloper a, but the 

 latter is not known in the region. The bracts of both 

 these species are ovate, small, 1-2" long, abruptly acute 

 or at least acuminate at apex. 



Atriplex subdecumbens. 



No. 5745. August 6, 1894, Fish Lake, Utah, 9000° 

 alt., in gravelly meadows. 



This species is nearest A. microcarpa and vl. argentea: 

 plants slender, subdecumbent, annual, 2-8' long, much 

 branched at the base, mealy throughout, leafy through- 

 out; leaves ovate to lanceolate, with a cuneate base, barely 

 petioled, 6-9" long, rather thin, entire; plants fructiferous 

 throughout in small, sessile clusters; flowers minute, 

 greenish; fruiting bracts 1" long, rather cuneate-orbicu- 

 lar to obovate, apex crimped and obscurely dentate, or 

 sometimes toothed, green, sides smooth, back nervose to 

 muricate, seldom if ever with green points, bracts united
