632 RYDBERG: Rocky MOUNTAIN FLORA 
This belongs to the Ammare//a group of Gentiana and is perhaps 
most nearly related to G. plebeja, which, however, has shorter ovate 
or ovate-lanceolate, acute or obtuse stem-leaves, lower stem and 
shorter and more nearly equal calyx-lobes. G. Clementis grows in 
the mountains from South Dakota and Montana to Colorado and 
Arizona. As the type I regard the following : 
Cotorapo: Minnehaha, 1go1, Clements 253. 
Frasera speciosa stenosepala var. nov. 
Usually with very numerous flowers ; sepals narrowly linear, 
some of them usually equaling or exceeding the petals ; petals 
large, about 15 mm. long or more; floral leaves very long and 
narrow. | 
In the mountains and foothills of Colorado and Wyoming. As 
the type may be regarded : 
CoLorapo : Foothills, Larimer County, 1895, Cowev. 
vFrasera speciosa angustifolia var. nov. 
Low, 3—4 dm. high ; basal leaves very short ; stem-leaves nar- 
rowly linear-lanceolate ; floral leaves, except the lower, shorter 
than the branches of the inflorescence ; petals rather small, about 
12 mm. long. 
On dry hillsides from Montana to Colorado. As the type may: 
be regarded : 
Montana: Lima, 1895, Shear 3369. 
~ Gilia scariosa sp. nov. 
Perennial with a tap-root ; stems one to several, simple, strict, 
3-6 dm. high, glandular-puberulent throughout ; leaves numerous, 
alternate, pinnatifid with linear-filiform spinulose-tipped divisions, 
more or less white-villous when young, glandular-puberulent ; 
inflorescence a narrow, strict, interrupted thyrsus ; branches very 
short, few-flowered ; calyx-tube about 6 mm. long, puberulent, 
scarious except the green angles; teeth short, broadly rounded- 
ovate, abruptly contracted into a subulate acumination ; corolla 
pink, 3-4 cm. long; tube narrow, very gradually broadening 
upwards ; lobes ovate-Janceolate, acute, about 8 mm. long ; stamens 
very unequally inserted ; capsule obovoid, about 1 cm. long. 
This is closely related to G. aggregata, but differs in the scari- 
ous calyx with short, abruptly cuspidate-acuminate lobes. The 
lobes of the corolla are also acute rather than acuminate. The
