_. DELPHINIUM GLAREOsUM. Stems low, simple, from along 
. perpendicular cylindric and simple fleshy-fibrous root, the 
_ whole stem less than a foot high, and its lower one-half or 
. one-third embedded with the root in loose gravel: lowest 
3 aerial parts of the plant glabrous and glaucescent; leaves all 
. alike subsucculent, on long thick fleshy peduncles, and the 
lamina cut into oblong-linear obtuse callous-tipped seg- 
. ments; inflorescence, and also the lower face of the upper 
. leaves loosely hirsute with somewhat deflexed hairs: raceme 
. few-flowered, short and simple, little surpassing the tufted 
acutish petals and nearly straight slenderly subconic spur 
Sparsely hirsute; follicles short, turgid, glabrous, erect. 
. In wet grave: on the summit of Mt. Steele, Olympic 
Mountains, Washington, at 5,000 feet, Aug., 1895, C. V. 
Piper. Very distinct by its long deep simple root; in aspect 
more like the eastern D. tricorne than any other. 
| Myosurus MAJOR. Scapes numerous, 3 to 5 inches high, 
very long i in proportion to the spikes, these slender conical, 
2 to 1} inches long: summit of the achene oblong, though 
with some obscure angularity, traversed by a low thick not 
Compressed beak, the base of the achene below the keel dis- 
tinctly suberous- thickened ; beak-like end of the keel very 
short, straight and erect. 
. Very common species of northern California, thence north- 
ard to British Columbia; always referred to M. minimus 
heretofore, from which its great size and notably different 
Proportions of its scape and spike very readily distinguish 
w. In M. minimus the spike i is commonly about the length
