﻿linear, none of the leaves at all sheathing, panicle narrow, 

 i-2° long, branches appressed, densely flowered; flowers 

 on filiform pedicels 4-6" long, pendent; fruit wings with- 

 out tubercles, triangular to deltoid, 2-3" long, coarsely 

 reticulated, sometimes rhombic, but in that case always 

 with a contracted slightly produced apex, always fimbriate 

 toothed below, and in the broader-winged forms very con- 

 spicuously so nearly to the apex. 



This grows in cold, gravelly, springy places along sub- 

 alpine streams, at from 10,000 to 11,000 feet altitude, 

 along with Oxyriti digyua. / y <>/Ygoti//iii historta and Aqtiil- 

 egia carulea.

Shrubby at base, erect or ascending. 1-2 high, slender, 

 freely branched, stems white-stellate, leaves oblong- 

 elliptical, apiculate, obtuse, rounded or short- cuneate at 

 base, 1' long, on petioles nearly as long, densely or sparsely 

 stellate below, often glabrous above; flowers in very 

 short, umbellate racemes, on long, slender pedicels, 2-3'' 

 long; staminate flowers many, 1" wide, with triangular 

 lobes; fertile flowers with pedicels subtended by linear 

 bracts ; bracts as long or longer than the pedicels ; calyx 

 of the pistillate flowers similar to that of the staminate 

 ones, but nearly 3" wide; fruit nearly round, 1" long, 

 densely white-stellate. This can neither be placed with 

 C. Cah 'formats, C. gracilis nor C. Neo-Mexicanus, though 

 it is related" to them all. It is nearest C. corymhulosus, 

 but the flowers are smaller, the calyx lobes very different,
