38 Wooron: THE LARKSPURS OF New Mexico 
cels, and exterior of the flowers appressed-pubescent with short 
curled hairs, not glandular or viscid ; bracts linear, one fourth to 
three fourths as long as the pedicels, free at the base of the pedi- 
cels or sometimes adnate part of the way up, floral bracts small, 
very slender, attached 2-5 mm. below the slightly enlarged re- 
ceptacle ; flowers 1-2 cm. long, spur about 10 mm. long, slightly 
curved, horizontal or ascending ; sepals all elliptic-ovate, with a 
small saccate callus near the apex, dark blue, the upper and lower 
two sepals acute, the others obtuse ; upper petals thickish and 
stiff, minutely 2-toothed at the apex, white along the lower margin, — 
otherwise all petals blue, limb of the lower petals deeply bifid into 
lanceolate, rather acute lobes, long and white-hairy on upper 
surface, claw channeled and with a saccate protuberance I mm. 
long at the base, glandular-pubescent on the back ; follicles about 
I cm. long, appressed-pubescent, not viscid, veins conspicuous, 
moderately divergent ; seeds (immature?) irregular, angled, and 
distinctly winged, not scaly. 
The type is in the herbarium of the New Mexico College of 
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, collected by E. O. Wooton near 
Cloudcroft, Otero Co., New Mexico, July 31, 1899, at an altitude 
of about 2700 m. in open coniferous forests. Several other speci- 
mens from the type locality, and the two following are to be re- 
ferred here: 
Near Mescalero Agency, White Mts., July 27, 1897, Wooton 
279. 
Little Creek, White Mts., July 30, 1899, Turner 95. 
Delphinium novo-mexicanum seems to be related most closely 
to D. robustum Rydb. and may even prove to be a form of that 
species, 
9. Delphinium Sierrae-Blancae sp. nov. 
Quite similar in general appearance to D. novo-mexicanum but 
differing in the following particulars: Leaf segments a_ little 
broader and of the same color on both surfaces ; bracts at the 
base of the pedicels much longer, from once to twice the length 
of the pedicels, the floral bracts larger and attached to the thick- 
ened base of the receptacle; pubescence more copious and of 
longer crinkled hairs noticeably viscid on the flowers ; callosities 
of the sepals wanting ; sepals sometimes all acute, dull purplish — 
green, drying as if the specimens were partly spoiled in pressing ; 
upper petals part blue and part white, lower petals not so deeply 
cleft, purple, with a tuft of yellow hairs on the face ; young follicles
