scapes stoutish, about a foot high, twice the height of the 
- remotely and deeply pinnatifid leaves, both the rachis and 
|. segments of which are broadly linear, the latter either divari- 
cately spreading or faleately incurved: bracts of the invo- 
E lucre imbricated in 3 or 4 series, the outer broadly, the inner 
| more narrowly triangular-lanceolate, villous-ciliolate, also 
- with some villous pubescence on the back: ligules large, 
_ yellow, only 2 or 3 outer circles of them fertile; achenes of 
1 these pubescent, very slenderly fusiform, $ inch long includ- 
- ing the rostrate-attenuate vacant upper portion; pappus ses- 
- sile, its soft white bristles rather longer than the achene: 
- abortive achenes of the central portion of the head glabrous. 
: Species of the elevated cold desert region of northeastern 
- California and adjacent Oregon and Nevada; in aspect ap- 
_ proaching the very different A. retrorsa, but in character of 
- fruit more allied to those Rocky Mountain species, of which 
-. A. glauca is the type. 
CREPIS PLATYPHYLLA. Related to C. runcinata, similarly 
acaulescent, the corymbosely panicled stout scape 12 to 18 
inches high, rather strongly hispid and somewhat gland- 
ular: leaves depressed or ascending, oval and oblong to 
spatulate-oblong, subsessile or short-petiolate, mostly 4 to 6 
inches long, often 3 in breadth, obtuse, coarsely and remotely, 
often somewhat runcinately toothed, green and glabrous 
above: involuere 4 or 5 lines high, very hispid, slightly 
glandular: achenes dark brown, oblong-fusiform, slightly 
contracted toward the summit, sharply 10-ribbed. 
Moist mountain meadows of southern Idaho and northern 
Utah, about Bear Lake, etc. Type specimens of my own 
collecting near Montpelier, July, 1889. 
PHLOX ALYSSIFOLIA. Stems nearly prostrate, herbaceous, 
short, stout, from a subligneous branching caudex, the 
short internodes hispidulous with white hairs: leaves about 
ł inch long, oblong-linear, cuspidately acute, plane, rather
