only by a thin membrane: corolla tube 10 mm. 1a gl 
pubescent; corolla lobes glabrous, suborbicular, 7 mm. lon 
6mm. wide, slightly and unevenly sinuate: anthers 2. 5m, 
style short, about 3 mm. long. 
In general appearance somewhat like P. Stansburyt brevi- hga 
folia, but its short style brings it near to P. Douglasiz, P. andic- Hee 
ola and P. Kelseyz from which it is easily separated. 
The specimens taken as the type were collected on the north 
slopes of the Mormon mountains, Lincoln county, Nevada, by 
P. B. Kennedy and L. N. Goodding, no. 103. This species pre- 
vailed on the north slopes, while another P/ox, perhaps tefer-_ 
able to P. Douglasiz, was abundant on the south slopes. 
Types deposited in the Nevada Agricultural Experiment 
Station herbarium, and in the Rocky Mountain Herbarium. 
Hydrophyllum alpestre n. n. 
F7. capitatum var. alpinum Wats. Bot. King Rep. 249. 1871. 
Abundant in the vicinity of Reno. There is positively 
nothing to indicate that it runs into A. capztatum. 
It has been so weil diagnosed by Watson in the place cited 
above, and by Gray in Syn. Fl. 2: 154, that it seems superfluous 
to recharacterize it. The name a/fzmum is preoccupied in this 
genus. 
Plantago Gooddingii n. sp. 
Annual, subcaulescent, erect, 1 to 2dm. high, leaves, ped- 
uncles and spikes rather densely lanate canescent: leaves linear- 
lanceolate, acuminate, 4 to 5cm. long, 6 to 8mm. wide, about 
half as long as the peduncles: spikes dense, 1 to 2.5cm. long: 
bract oval, acute, 3mm. long and 2mm. broad, scarious, with a 
thick green midrib, equalling and closely resembling the calyx 
lobes, somewhat ciliate-lanate: calyx lobes glabrous, not other- 
wise distinguishable from the bract if separated: corolla lobes 
white, strongly reflexed, ovate-acuminate, about equalling the
