All of the above cited specimens agree excellently with Horne- 

 mann's plate save that the stellate pubescence on the sepals is often 

 reduced in amount. 



Piper (Fl. Wash.) refers this species to the Arid Transition; in 

 the Sierra, the type form appears to be definitely of the boreal realm 

 though the var. Fendleri Wats, is Transition or lower. 



Arahis Brucae Jones (Contr. W. Coast Bot., vol. 14, p. 37. 1912), 

 said to be related to the above species and described from * ' Hills near 

 Davis Creek, Calif., June, 1898, in flower only, part of Mrs. Bruce 's 

 No. 225; Summit, Cal., Nevada Co., July 10, 1902, Jones," is unknown 

 to me except from the description, where the characters seem to be 

 inadequate for its separation.
