~ Juncus parous sp. nov. 
Stem 3-6 dm. high, laterally flattened and distinctly winged ; 
leaves equitant, laterally flattened, septate, 2-3 dm. long, 3-5 mm. 
wide; sheaths with scarious margins that taper upwards and 
without any indication of an auricle; bracts 1-2 cm. long, green 
with more or less scarious margins ; heads few, 1-8, often clustered, 
15—20-flowered ; bractlets lanceolate, light brown;* petals and 
sepals lanceolate, sharply acuminate, subequal, light brown or 
greenish on the back; stamens usually 6; style shorter than the 
petals; capsule oblong, acute, shorter than the petals; seeds 
This is still more closely rélated to /. saximontanus than the 
former, but is easily distinguished by the light-colored heads and 
the total lack of auricles. It grows in mountain meadows of Colo- 
rado and New Mexico.

¥ Juncoides subcapitatum sp. nov. 
Stem 3-4 dm. high, glabrous ; leaf-blades lanceolate, acumi- 
nate, glabrous, 4-10 cm, long, 5-10 mm. wide ; bracts 2.5—3 cm. 
long, lanceolate, foliaceous; inflorescence compact, consisting of 
6-10 heads, conglomerate and forming an irregular head ; bract- 
lets ovate, those subtending the individual flowers about half as 
long as the sepals; these and the petals subequal, 1.5-2 mm. 
long, ovate, acuminate, dark brown but lighter on the midrib ; 
Capsule broadly obovoid, obtuse, shorter than the petals ; seeds 
about 1 mm. long, ellipsoid, obtuse, dark brown, minutely punctate. 
Notwithstanding the capitate inflorescence, the large foliaceous 
bracts, and the shorter capsule, it is most closely related to /. parvi- 
Jiorum, which it resembles in leaves and flowers. The type grew 
Near timber-line on a mountain above Silver Plume.
