CocCKERELL: NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF HyMENoxys 477 
tha), with pale yellowish, coriaceous, well-keeled bracts, the inner 
not at all green-tipped ; the foliage paler, though the leaf segments 
are as broad and flat as they are in true macrantha; the rays 
evidently shorter, and apparently more orange-tinted. The 
achenes are broad, of moderate length, with copious pale ferru- 
ginous hairs ; the pappus-scales are fairly long, dilute ferruginous, 
darker basally. The receptacle is quite small. This plant may be 
designated var. Utahensis, the Emery sheet in the National Mus- 
eum (234968) being taken as typical. Compared with H. flori- 
bunda, the plant is not so tall, and the heads are larger ; the leaves 
also are longer, and their segments broader. Two other sheets must 
also be referred to var. Uvtahensis, as follows: Capitol Wash, 
7000 ft., evidently in red soil, July 19, 1894, JZ &. Jones. A 
plant with longer slender stems, the longest about 25 cm. ; 
foliage pale; achenes more slender, white-haired. This tends 
towards flortbunda. Rabbit Valley, 6800 ft., July 23, 1875, 
Lester F. Ward. About 15 cm. high, very leafy at base, the leaf- 
segments narrower; heads (excluding rays) about 10 to 13 mm. 
diameter; achenes broad, with ferruginous hair. All these Utah 
plants appear to be essentially of one type, which in its more ex- 
treme forms (¢. g., that from Capitol Wash) does not even suggest 
subsp. macrantha. 
A good specimen of var. Utahensis from near Emery is in the 
herbarium of the California Academy of Sciences (33875). 
- Hymenoxys Lemmoni (Greene) 
Picradenia Lemmoni Greene, Pittonia, 3: 272. 1898. 
The original description is as follows: 
“Evidently perennial, glabrous and strongly punctate, the 
rather slender stems 114 feet high, not rosulately nor densely leafy 
at base ; the lowest leaves on rather coarse elongated erect petioles 
5 or 6 inches long, the blade only 2 inches, pinnately cut into 
about 3 pairs of divaricate linear lobes: heads middle-sized in a 
corymbose cyme; bracts of the involucre subequal, the outer 
series ovate-lanceolate, the inner oblong, obtuse. Mountains of 
California, probably northward ; collected only by J. G. Lemmon, 
and by Dr. Gray erroneously referred to his A. dzennis.”” 
This plant is easily recognized by its tall upright growth, with
