36 Wooton: THE LARKSPURS OF NEW MEXxIco 
well preserved and seems amply distinct. It is evidently related 
to D. scopulorum. 
5. DELPHINIUM SCOPULORUM A. Gray, Pl. Wnght. 2: 9. 1853 
Type locality: ‘‘ Mountain ravines near the Mimbres, New 
Mexico.” Most of the material which has been passing as 
D. scopulorum is not very closely related to that species if 
Wright’s zo. 842, as seen in U. S. Nat. Herb., sheet 0. 2027, 
is to be taken as typical. I have never, to my knowledge, 
seen the plant growing, though I] have been in the type locality 
once and near there three times. I have seen but one other speci- 
men that I unhesitatingly refer to the species, Metcalfe’s xo. 1093 
from Kingston, which was distributed as D. calophyllum Greene, 
a description of which was never published. 
Two other specimens of my own collecting may be referred to 
this species provisionally. One is from Wheeler’s Ranch on Apache 
Creek in western Socorro County, collected July 12, 1906, and the 
other was taken on Sec. 17, T. 9 N., R. 12 W., near Agua Fria 
Spring, July 28, 1906. Neither is typical. My material consists 
of but two specimens of each number and no doubt each pair of 
specimens is from the same plant. 
6. DELPHINIUM TENUISECTUM Greene, Erythea 2: 184. 1894 
Type locality: ‘Chihuahua, cool banks of ravines, plains at 
the base of the Sierra Madre.” 
Dr. Greene is correct when he says that this species is nearest 
to D. scopulorum, and the New Mexican material seems to ap- 
proach a little nearer to that species than do Mexican specimens. 
All the specimens here referred to have the narrow leaf-segments 
of the species. 
The specimens seen are as follows: 
Santa Rita, Wright 842 (U.S. Nat. Herb., sheet 20. 2074). 
Near West’ Fork of Gila, Mogollon Mts., Aug. 3, 1903, Met- 
calfe 364. 
Middle Fork of Gila, Mogollon Mts., Aug. 5, 1900, Wooton. 
Mountains southeast of Patterson, Aug. 16, 1900, Wooton. 
Mountains west of Grant, Aug. 2, 1892, Wooton. 
Near Colonia Garcia, Sierra Madre of Chihuahua, Aug. 9, | 
1899, Townsend & Barber 138.
