 p. 381. ■ 



Near C. pavonaceus. Stem slender, a foot or so high, bulbiferous at base, 

 stiffly erect; inflorescence umbellate if more than one flowered, short linear 

 bracts subtending the umbel or a single flower on a stem; true radical leaf 

 one, lance-linear, acute, 2 to 3 lines wide, nearly as long as or exceeding 

 stem, a linear bract-leaf on lower part of stem just above radical leaf; sepals 

 ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, a little shorter than petals, greenish lilac within; 

 petals lavender, lighter below, with a dark purple circular band above gland, 

 obovate-cuneate, denticulate, margin naked; gland small, roundish, covered 

 with densely matted brown hairs, with some long silky hairs above and 

 beside it; filaments slender, winged below, 2 to 3 times as long as anthers; 

 anthers narrowly ovate, obtuse; mature capsule 9 to 10 lines long, strongly 

 winged and beaked. 



"In low grassy grounds, Falcon Valley, Klickitat 

 County, Washington Territory." 



The description given is of average specimens from the 

 type locality, and from Hood River, Oregon. From the 

 description it will be seen that C. longebarbatus closely 

 resembles C -pavonaceus except that the bracts are near the 

 base instead of the middle, there are no hairs on the mar- 

 gin of the petals, and the filaments are somewhat longer. 

 The two may run into each other, but to definitely ascer- 

 tain whether this is the case specimens from a much wider 

 range are needed. 



21. Calochortus howellii Watson. 



Calochortus howelliiV^fxTSOti , Proc. Amer. Acad., Vol. XXIII, 1888, p. 266. 



Stem erect, a foot or more high; radical leaf solitary; cauline leaf narrow 

 and short; sepals ovate and shortly acuminate; petals white, an inch long, 

 denticulate, slightly ciliate near the base, covered within with short crisped 

 hairs, those above the gland denser and dark greenish; gland transversely 

 oblong, densely covered with short yellow hairs; anthers oblong-acute, and 

 apiculate, 3 lines long; capsule elliptical, acute, 9 lines long. 



"Found near Waldo, Oregon, in 1884, and at Roseburg 

 in 1887."
