420 Farr on British Columbian Plants. 
perennial root, about 6 inches high; branches diffuse, attenu- 
ate. Leaves 1 inch to 3 inches long, linear, mostly long- 
petioled, a few sessile, light green. Flowers about %4 inch 
long, solitary, nodding, borne on long, slender, pubescent, 
green peduncles. Calyx cylindric-campanulate, slightly nar- 
rowed at the mouth, copiously ciliate-pubescent, traversed by 
five strong and five fine longitudinal veins. Corolla slightly 
longer than the calyx, purplish-crimson. Petals elongate 
wedge-shaped, bifid and bearing small appendages. Stamens 
slightly exserted, five attached for one-third of their length 
to the petals, five free. Ovary about 4 lines long, ovoid, 
green with purple rim at the top. Styles about 3 lines 
long, exserted, the style tips yellow. 
Lake Louise, near Laggan, July 16, 1904. 
The nearest species to the above are the two already found 
and described as L. apetala, L. and L. affinis, Vahl. The 
present one differs in its attenuate habit, in the longer leaves, 
mostly provided with long petioles, the diffuse pubescence 
of the calyx, the deep attachment of five stamens to the 
petals, the exserted styles and the ovary which is inter- 
mediate between the two species. 
In L. affinis the stamens are all free from the petals, in 
L. apetala five are slightly attached, in the present one five 
are attached through about one-third of their length; in 
L. affinis and L. apetala the calyx teeth are short, broad, in 
the present one they are broadly lanceolate. 
It will thus be seen that the new form presents characters 
that in some respects are intermediate between the other two, 
and in others are entirely distinct.
