PLATYSTEMON AND ITS ALLIES. 177 
branches greatly surpassed by the stout striate bristly-hairy 
scapiform peduncles: leaves much less hairy, 2 inches long, 
acutish, but with a prominent blunt callosity : buds spherical : 
corolla 1 to 14 inches broad, cream-color, the petals short- 
unguiculate: outermost series of filaments short, thrice the 
breadth of their anthers and sharply notched, all the others 
narrower and merely obtuse, the innermost almost filiform, 
not wider at the widened summit than the anther itself: 
fruit an inch long, the bristly-hairy carpels very regularly 
torulose, the joints limited by shallow constrictions and 
marked by delicate lines and rather ill-defined intervening 
tuberculations. 
Collected by Marcus Jones, 24 May, 1884, at Hackberry, 
Mohave Co., northeastern Arizona, a little to the eastward of 
the Mohave Desert; the specimens preserved in U. S. Herb. 
24. P. ANEMONOIDES. Leafy branches short, the peduncles 
twice as long, therefore subscapiform, the whole 10 inches 
high, stoutish: the linear obtusish slightly callous-tipped 
leaves hirsute chiefly along the margin, the peduncles more 
so: corolla cream-color, an inch broad, the petals equal and 
consimilar, narrow, mostly spatulate-oblong and either rotate- 
spreading or somewhat deflexed: stamens very many and 
Unequal, the outer but half as long as the inner, the fila- 
ments of all spatulate-linear, with some hints of rounded 
lobes at summit and in so far emarginate; anthers long, 
linear, the outer of equal length with their filaments: car- 
pels 18 or 20, long and slender, the filiform stigmas and 
short styles together almost as long as the body, this scarcely 
more than torulose, dark-colored, 10-jointed, rather indefi- 
nitely low-rugose, and hirsute with stiffish ascending hairs.
