high. £. stramineum grows at an altitude of 2,400-3,200 m. in 
the mountains of Colorado, while the range of E. Drummondti ex- 
tends further north.

- Epilobium Palmeri sp. nov. 
Perennials _propagating by turions or occasionally with more 
leafy rosettes ; stem 4-6 dm. high, branched, glandular pilose, 
nearly terete, usually reddish or brownish ; leaves sessile or nearly 
80, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, rounded or obtuse at the base, acute, 
denticulate, 3-4 cm. long, more or less pubescent ; petals pink or 
light purple, about 5 mm. long ; pod 4-6 cm. long, 1.5 mm. thick ; 
seeds brown, more or less papillose, without a beak ; coma white 
or in age somewhat tawny, 6-8 mm. long. 
The type was named £& tetragonum 1.., which species is not 
found in the United States. It resembles much &. érevisty/um and 
£ ovati~folium in habit, but is characterized by the pubescent stem 
and leaves, ;

~ Gayophytum intermedium sp. nov. 
__Profusely branched glabrous annual; stem white and shining, 
with more or less peeling bark, 3-7 dm.vliigh, erect ; leaves one’ 
»F nearly so, light green ; sepals about 1.5 mm. long, soon spr ea % 
ing or reflexed, yellowish : petals 1.5-2.5 mm. long, rose re 
yellow base ; capsule 8-12 mm. long, nearly twice as long as the 
reflexed pedicel, somewhat clavate and torulose, somewhat 
Sttigose when young ; seeds 1.75 mm. long, glabrous. 
This Species is intermediate between &. aiffusum and £. ramo- 
Sissimum in some respects. The flowers approach the latter more 
in size but the former in coloration. The pod is comparatively 
longer than in either. In both it is scarcely longer than the 
Pedicels, £. intermedium grows in sandy soils in Colorado at an 
altitude of I,500~3,000 m.
