320 RyDBERG: STUDIES ON THE RocKy MOUNTAIN FLORA 
Thalictrum columbianum sp. nov. 
A plant resembling 7. venulosum Trelease in habit; stem 3-5 
dm. high; leaves 2—4 times ternate, petioled except the uppermost; 
leaflets rather crowded, thick, and veiny, 1-2 cm. long, cuneate to 
nearly orbicular, 3-lobed and deeply toothed; inflorescence narrow; 
achenes oblong- or ovate-lanceolate, somewhat flattened, 455 
mm. long, 1.5-2 mm. wide; veins strong, but not corky, and with 
broad and shallow grooves between. 
The western specimens referred to T. venulosum by Dr. W. 
Trelease belong to this species, which differs mainly in the structure 
of the achenes, these approaching those of 7. megacarpum Torr.

pubescent; upper leaves with linear, acute divisions; lower pedicels 
4-8 cm. long, ascending; sepals dark blue, oblong, obtuse or the
