bracts is less than half as long as the width of the wing. It differs 
from A. occidentalis Torr. in its narrower and sharply toothed 
wing. 
Atriplex Garretti sp. nov. 
A low shrub, with straw-colored branches; leaves  short- 
petioled, oval, 2-3 cm. long, grayish, scurfy on both sides, acute 
at the base, abruptly acuminate at the apex; flowers in axillary 
and terminal clusters; bracts about 8 mm. long and about as broad, 
4-winged, coarsely toothed and occasionally with a few additional 
processes, with a broad open sinus at the apex; free portion I-2 
The fruit would associate this species with A. canescens, A. 
occidentalis, and A. tetraptera, but the leaves are quite different 
in shape. The plant looks in general habit somewhat like A, 
confertifolia, but the fruiting bracts are altogether different. It 
grows in arid valleys at an altitude of about 1,200 m.

This species should be transferred from Aériplex to / ndolepts, 
as sepals are present in the pistillate flowers. 
‘ Eurotia subspinosa sp. nov. 
A dioecious shrub, 6-10 dm. high; branches ascending oF 
spreading, becoming more or less spinescent, finely grayish stellate- 
tomentose but without longer hairs; leaves linear OF oblong, 
obtuse, entire, 1-3 cm. long, or the secondary ones only 5 mm. long 
and comparatively broader, with revolute margins; flower clusters 
axillary, those of the staminate plant crowded and forming simp 
leafy spikes; fruiting bracts lanceolate, about 6 mm. long; horns 
usually about 2 mm. long. 
This species is more decidedly shrubby than E. lanata (Pursh) 
Mog. and evidently always dioecious, has ascending oF spreading 
branches, which become spinescent, lacks the long hairs inter” 
mixed with the stellate pubescence characteristic of F- a 
and has usually longer horns. In E. Janata the branches are erect, 
and the plant is shrubby only at the base. The predominantly
