518 Wooton AND STANDLEY: ANDROSACE 
1898 (C. L. Herrick 256). Inthe Mogollon Mountains, in western 
Socorro County : on the west fork of the Gila River, near its head, 
August 2, 1903 (Metcalfe 341). 
These localities show that the species is pretty well distributed 
over the southern two thirds of New Mexico. It is no doubt 
found inthe northern part of the Territory, for it is also common 
in Colorado, It is a species of the higher mountain ranges, 
growing at elevations of from 2100 to 3100 meters. One of the 
new species here proposed, A. g/andulosa, is evidently closely re- 
lated to A. pinetorumand A. septentrionalis. It has the strict, erect 
scapes which are relatively long and the pedicels are but little if 
at all spreading. The flowers are much smaller than those of 
A. pinetorum, and the corolla, though slightly surpassing the calyx, 
is a clear white. The character which readily distingushes the 
species is the glandular pubescence found in greater or less abun- 
dance upon the leaves, scapes, pedicels, and calyces. 
A. puberulenta Rydb. * is said by Dr. Rydberg to extend into 
New Mexico, though particular New Mexican specimens are not 
cited. The plant is related to A. diffusa, from which it may be 
separated by the very puberulent pedicels and calyces and the long, 
lanceolate, strongly keeled calyx-lobes which much exceed the fruit. 
Our collection does not contain specimens of the species, but 
it will probably be met in the higher mountains of the northern 
part of the Territory. 
Androsace occidentalis Pursh is accredited to New Mexico by 
several authorities and we have some specimens from the Organ 
Mountains before us which we refer to that species with some 
hesitation, since fruiting specimens show characters not ascribed to 
the species and not shown by material from the central states. 
Another species, A. platysepala, is here proposed, which is 4 
close relative of A. occidentalis, though it seems to us to be suffici- 
ently distinct to be recognized. It has the habit and broad involucral 
bracts of A. occidentalis, but the calyx-segments are noticeably dif- 
ferent, being broadly oblong to ovate and foliaceous.
