402 RYDBERG: Rocky MouNTAIN FLORA 
scapes, 2-4 mm. wide ; sheaths very broad, loose and scarious ; 
scapes a little over 2 dm. high, stout, 3-4 mm. thick, often 2 or 3 
from the same set of sheaths: umbel many-flowered ; bracts 
usually 3,-ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, about 2 cm. long, veined 
with purple; pedicels stout, about 2 cm. long; the outer in fruit 
spreading or reflexed; petals and sepals lanceolate, long-attenu- 
ate, fully 1 cm. long, white, scarious, with a prominent purple mid- 
vein; capsule 5-6 mm. long, with 6 conspicuous oblong crests 
which are over 1.5 mm. high. 
This species is perhaps most nearly related to A. Geyert, but 
stouter, usually with 2 or 3 scapes, loose sheaths, longer and more 
attenuate petals and sepals, larger conspicuous crests, and longer 
bulb with very fibrous coat.

v Allium Pikeanum sp. nov. 
Bulb obliquely ovoid, about 1.5 cm. long and 8-10 cm. thick ; 
coat membranous except the outer layer, which is fibrous-reticu- 
lated; scape 8-15 cm. long, almost equaled by the narrowly lin- 
ear leaves: bracts usually 3, lanceolate, 8-10 mm. long and very 
soon reflexed; umbels with 10-15 flowers, but no bulblets ; 
pedicels about 1 cm. long ; petals and sepals subequal, ovate, acu- 
minate, red-purple ; filaments subulate, dilated below, about three- 
fourths as long as the petals; capsule slightly crested above. 
This is most nearly related to A. reticulatum and A. Geyert, but 
distinguished by the small reflexed bracts, the dark flowers and the 
small bulb with only the outermost layers of the coat fibrous. It 
grows in the higher mountains of the Pike’s Peak region at an 
altitude of 3,c00-3,800 m., while the other species mentioned be- 
long to the plains.

’ Corallorrhiza ochroleuca sp. nov. 
Whole plant light yellow; stem 2-4 dm. high, not bulbous- 
thickened at the base; sheaths loose and rounded and mucronate 
at the apex ; raceme 10-15-flowered; flowers 15-20 mm. long, 
light yellow, unspotted ; petals and sepals 7-8 mm. long, oblong- 
lanceolate, acute, with prominent midvein; lip ovate, sinuate but 
neither lobed nor toothed ; spur small and adnate to the ovary. 
In general habit, this resembles a large C. mu/tiffora, but dif-
