RYDBERG: Rocky MounTAIN FLORA 47 
Trifolium uintense 
Trifolium dasyphyllum S. Wats. Bot. King Exp. 60, in part. 1871. 
Not 7. dasyphyllum Torr. 
Cespitose, subacaulescent perennial ; stipules large and scarious ; 
petioles 1-4 cm. long, sparingly strigose ; leaflets oblanceolate, 
broadest above the middle, acute and mucronate, entire, I—2 cm. 
long, sparingly pubescent or glabrate above ; peduncle about 6 
cm. long, sparingly strigose; head obovate, rather few-flowered ; 
bracts lanceolate, 5-8. mm. long, 3-nerved, slightly if at all 
scarious-margined ; calyx only slightly pubescent; tube 2.5 mm. 
long; teeth subulate-setaceous, about 7 mm. long; corolla purple, 
about 15 mm. long ; ovary pubescent, about 6-ovuled. “ 
This is a member of thé 7: dasyphyllum group, but differs, from 
* 
its relatives in»the broader, decidedly oblanceolate leaflets-dnd the 
3-nerved bracts.

Trifolium inaequale 
Cespitose glabrous perennial, with very short stems ; stipules 
Ovate, short-acuminate, about 1 cm. long; petioles 3-10 cm. 
long, glabrous ; leaflets oblanceolate or oblong, acute or obtuse, 
minutely denticulate, rather fleshy, 1.5-3 cm. long; peduncles 
I~2 dm. long; heads sub-globose ; bracts ovate or lanceolate, 
5-7 mm. long, usually shorter than the calyces, usually cleft: or 
toothed at the apex ; calyx glabrous; tube 3 mm. long; teeth 
unequal, the upper 2-2.5 mm., the lower 3-5-4 mm. long, lance- 
subulate ; corolla purple, about 1, 5 cm. long ; Ovary 4-ovuled ; 
legume glabrous, stipitate. 
This is related to 7: Parryi and T. montanense. From the 
former, it differs in the decidedly unequal calyx-teeth, the nar- 
Wer and smaller, ovate instead of obovate, bracts and stipules, 
and the less sharply denticulate leaflets ; from the latter in the 
larger size and the ovate instead of obovate bracts.
