COLORADO NOTES 
By Gro. E. OSTERHOUT 
~~ Townsendia lepotes (Gray) n. comb. 
Townsendia sericea var. lepotes Gray, Syn. Fl. 1: Part 2, 
169. 1878. 
I quote Dr. Gray’s description: ‘An ambiguous form from 
Middle Park Colorado (Parry) with heads less than half-inch 
long, all but the primary ones somewhat distinctly pedunculate: 
leaves narrowly linear with attenuate base. Perhaps a distinct 
species.” 
It does not seem to be closely related to Tozwnsendia sericea, 
and Dr. Gray’s thought that it might be a distinct species is 
evidently true. The leaves are much longer and narrower than 
in Zowmnsendia sericea, much surpassing the small heads, less 
pubescent and a brighter green. My specimens were collected 
at Kremmling, Grand county, Colorado, June 22, 1907, no. 3487. 
&” ARTEMISIA SPICIFORMIS longiloba n. var. 
A shrubby branching perennial, about 3dm. high, the 
leaves oblanceolate, about 2cm. long and parted for about half 
their length into three linear divisions: heads of flowers large 
and rather few in a spike-like raceme, sessile in the axils of the 
bracts. 
Somewhat lower than Artemzsza spiciformis, and differing 
mainly in the tri-parted leaves. 
Collected at Sulphur Springs, Grand county, Colorado, 
August 8, 1907, no. 3592. 
New Windsor, Colorado.
