550 RypBERG: Rocky MOUNTAIN FLORA 
men from near Gray’s Peak, Shear 4734, collected on the same 
date as 4948 and 4060. 
CARDUUS COLORADENSIS X UNDULATUS 
With the specimen cited below, Mr. Osterhout sent a slip of 
paper on which is written: ‘Do not think this is Carduus undu- 
latus —do not know what it is.’ It resembles C. undulatus, the 
flowers being red, although paler, the bracts having a glandular 
dorsal ridge, and the general habit and leaf-form being similar, but 
the dorsal ridge is very inconspicuous. It resembles perhaps more 
C. coloradensis in habit, in the form of the bracts, and the lanceo- 
late twisted tips of the innermost of these. There is also an indi- 
cation of arachnoid hairs on the stem, but the corollas are pink, 
not dirty white, and there is an evident though narrow dorsal ridge 
towards the ends of the bracts. 
Cotorapo: Wolcott, Eagle Co., July 11, 1902, Osterhout 2653. 
Mr. Osterhout collected also C. coloradensis at the same date 
and locality, viz., 2651. 
CARDUUS FILIPENDULUS X OCHROCENTRUS 
Carduus dispersus Osterhout MS. 
This has the large heads and the long spines of C. ochrocentrus 
but the broad non-decurrent leaves and dark green glabrate upper 
surfaces of C. filipendulus. 
CoLorapo: Home, Larimer Co., July 29, 1904, Osterhout 2808. 
Both of the supposed parents are common in Larimer County. 
Mr. Osterhout doubts that this can be a hybrid between the two 
supposed parents given above, as he has not seen either growing 
so far up in the mountains. 
Carpuus FLODMANII X MEGACEPHALUS 
This specimen cited below was determined as Carduus Flod- 
manit, but its leaves are much broader and with shorter and broader 
lobes, the heads are larger, and their bracts more glutinous than in 
the typical C. Flodmanii. The plant is almost exactly inter- 
mediate between that and C. megacephalus. 
CoLorapo: Fort Collins, July 30, 1904, Osterhout 2903. 
Both of the supposed parents are common around Fort Collins.
